starlady: a circular well of books (well of books)
Oh god is it Wednesday again.

What I'm reading
Still The Two of Them by Joanna Russ. It's still lively and depressing in the way that Russ mostly is in my experience. The sex is much more explicit than I remember from her short stories. I've also started listening to [personal profile] thingswithwings and [personal profile] eruthros' Live Drunk HP7 Re-Read, which is an excellent way to reread HP7 without actually carrying one's copy of HP7 all over the country.

What I just read
Magic Under Stone by Jaclyn Dolamore. The follow-up to Magic Under Glass, which I enjoyed, but Stone has serious structural problems, not entirely of Dolamore's making, and on the whole I liked individual elements of it more than I liked the whole. I skimmed Between the Sea and Sky by her, too. Reaction: What am I even reading? Did not finish.

What I'm reading next
Railsea or bust! I also bought Summer of the Mariposas, by one of the Sirens 2013 Guests of Honor, at the Strand, and am saving that for the plane ride next Tuesday.
