Fandom: Reading Wednesday

[escritoireazul]

Thought I'd give this a try again this year. I've never been able to keep it up, but maybe if I try to do it just once a month, that will make it happen.

What I just finished:
A lot in 2017, haven't finished anything in 2018 yet. Starting fresh.

What I'm reading now:

The Last Vampire by Christopher Pike. For a project.

Growing Gills: How to Find Creative Focus When You're Drowning in Your Daily Life by Jessica Abel. My writing group was talking about this at the end of 2017, and I decided to give it a try. I tend to read books like this all the way through one time before I try to put anything into action, so we'll see if it ends up being useful.

Stillhouse Lake by Rachel Caine. I've been on a mystery/thriller kick lately, and this is the latest one. I'm about halfway through, and though the main character is really frustrating a lot of the time and the plot has been slow to arrive, it is tense and entertaining.

What I'm reading next:

Probably Leader Lion by Zoe Chant, which I picked up earlier today, and Writing the Other by Nisi Shawl and Cynthia Ward, which Sister K gave me for the holidays. Sometime in the near future, Black Blood (The Last Vampire #2) by Christopher Pike, also for a project.

I don't know how well they'd hold up on re-read, but I have nostalgic fondness for The Last Vampire books (and honestly a lot of Christopher Pike from high school).

I blinked after reading "growing gills" and for one moment thought it was a young adult mermaid novel. Which would be an /intriguing/ concept!
