Food poisoning: not fun in the extreme.
What I'm reading
I took Darkest Light to the courthouse yesterday (because while still suffering mildly from food poisoning I got called in for jury duty, JOY) but was too nauseous to read it, though when I went back home after I was dismissed and laid on the couch because of more nausea and then being feverish I started reading it. It's the half-sequel to Half World and it is quite good so far! Goto is such an intense and vivid writer. It's also the first time in an age that I've read a YA novel with a male protagonist.
What I've just read
Last Friday night I made the executive decision to lie on the couch and drink, with the result that I devoured both The Girl of Fire and Thorns and Graceling. OMG SO GOOD. SO GOOD. Some of the best YA I've read in years, and very much in the "heirs of Tamora Pierce" vein in the best possible way. I cannot wait to read the follow-ups to both of them, CANNOT.
What I'll read next
I need to start ramping up the academic reading in a big way, but along with that, definitely Ôoku vols. 8 and 9 and Black Wine.
