[wednesday snuck up on me this week]
Jul. 1st, 2015 03:08 pmwhat I just finished:
When I finished Uprooted (see last week's post, but: definite recommendation if you like magic and fantasy and female protags and... lots of good stuff), I couldn't think what I needed as a followup, but it finally hit me: Kristen Cashore's Graceling trilogy. I re-read Graceling and Fire while on the island and now I really, really, really want more from her.
what I'm reading now:
I am a few pages from the end of Bitterblue, the third of the Graceling novels. I love these books and their unapologetic feminisms and their brilliant characters and their insistence on working through terrible things.
what I'm reading next:
I finally bought the most recent of Laurie R. King's Mary Russell novels, Dreaming Spies. I should probably re-read some of the previous ones first, but I don't think I have them handy. Still, I think that's up next, and then possibly some Val McDermid.
