thought about the ghosts that we'd left behind

( Flashback meme time. )

And if you don't want to read all that, did you know that when boats are in dry dock, they move them around using giant fork lifts? I saw it this morning!

Wednesday reading

• What are you currently reading?

I seem to be still reading Steamlust off and on, but mostly for its nearly weepingcock-level badness. A Thai gentleman's penis is as exotic as the rest of him (*facepalm* and ???) and then later we find out he has derived a sustainable energy source from hot peppers! I could not make this shit up, and some embarrassing part of me is glad somebody did. (Oh, and in case there was any doubt, yes, the one with the bi protagonist turned out to be about her getting with a man. But her sexuality provided the trite romantic misunderstanding plot point!)

Sailor Moon, for the first time ever. I'm surprised at the immediate mortal peril. I guess they are soldiers, after all.

I kinda stalled out on The Summer Prince, which is a bummer since I know oyceter really liked it. I'll keep trying!

• What did you recently finish reading?

A Natural History of Dragons by Marie Brennan. Thanks, gwyneira! I was indeed charmed.

From oyceter, A Lily Among Thorns by Rose Lerner, which was darling, and A Lady Awakened by Cecilia Grant, ditto.

I also reread Skip Beat! 190-198 this morning, for good and adequate reasons.

• What do you think you’ll read next?

I have Sherri Smith's Orleans, plus a few ebooks of things people are reading this week. I'm pretty intrigued by the title of Sean Griswold's Head.
