Reading Wednesday
Recently read
Currently reading: Lady of mazes by Karl Schroeder. I'm enjoying it really a lot. It's sort of doing that slightly clichéd thing of whether it's better to have safety or freedom, but it's also got some really interesting world-building exploring post-human civilizations, with some very nice characterization and plenty of exciting plot.
Up next: I don't know. I think I should maybe stop answering this question as I'm pretty rarely right about what I'll pick up next; I often don't decide until I find out where I physically am and what's available when I finish what I'm currently reading. I'm thinking of trying out the Your Blue-eyed Boys Captain America fanfic that people have been raving about, even though I'm not terribly into the canon; does anyone have a reading guide?

kaberett linked to Double, double, by Alicorn. It's a sweet, perhaps too sweet, story about two witches both promised the same firstborn child.
rysmiel pointed me to the most adorable wordless story, which I've been showing to everybody: GODZILLA MOMMA CARRYING LIKE A HUNDRED LIZARD BABIES ON HER BACK FOR TAKE YOUR CHILD (lizard) TO WORK DAY by
iguanamouth. The Tumblr in question has a very brightly coloured and slightly animated background, just so you know.
( Collapse )- Much less cute, but worth reading: It brought us all together by Marissa Lingen. It's about people's reactions to a SFnal plague, a lot of psychological realism with subtle world-building in the background.
