Having to read through a ton of plays for my modern dramatic theater class, 'shockingly' they're all pretty fricken depressing. Well written, but depressing. Just finished reading Frozen and its got me looking sideways at pretty much everyone right now.

If anyone is wanting to get back to reading but finding time crunch hard I would get into reading plays. Its a nice change of pace and really works your imagination as your not given a bunch of the details. I have a habit of over doing it when i read and getting splitting headaches from pulling long hours so this keeps me from over doing it too much.

McNally's Dilemma by Lawrence Sanders

A quirky read and very witty turn of the phrase.

Lady Rebecca

I finished off Northanger Abbey a few days ago, and have moved on to Jane Eyre. I'm attempting to read it before the new movie comes out, but I don't think I can finish it by the 11th. And I'm not sure I will have the self control to not go see it right away...

Just finished up Liberty by Kimberly Iverson. But I only got it because it was in the bargain bin for $1 and it sounded like The Light Bearer which I'd also liked.

Liberty, alas...reads like not particularly great fanfiction with its main character as a flaming Mary Sue (I realize that many main characters could be termed Mary Sues but in this case, trust me, the term is apt).

Anyway...

Finishing up:

Italian Neighbors: or a Lapsed Anglo-Saxon in Verona by Tim Parks. Which is not really fiction at all, but amusing anecdotes about life in Italy.

Also in the middle of reading the Kushiel books by Jacqueline Carey and waiting on Kushiel's Justice and Kushiel's Mercy to get to me from Amazon so I can read them. Also in that order is The Wise Man's Fear by Patrick Rothfuss and Twilight's Dawn by Anne Bishop, so I've got plenty to keep me occupied.

And about the time I get through all of those, later in this month I've got slated Spirit Dances by CE Murphy to show up in the mail. :)

Leyla

I'm trying to get through, "I Hate You - Don't Leave Me; understanding the borderline personality."
I figure it's about time I get a little more insight. I've been running into these traits enough lately that I figure it's time to get over my biases and try to get a better handle on the disorder.

Just finished Side Jobs by Jim Butcher, which is an anthology of Dresden Files stories.

Started The Vikings: A History by Robert Ferguson at lunch.  Didn't have time to read more than the foreword and a few pages but seems interesting so far.

Finished Drums Of Autumn and on to The Fiery Cross. (Diana Gabaldon) Also reading "Pale Demon" by Kim Harrison but not as into it as Gabaldons books.

I was addicted to those, but quit reading her after the story of Phedre and Joscelin played out.  
 Then I got into the Godslayer trilogy also by Jacqueline Carey.  I have never rooted for the 'bad guy' before.  This trilogy is just way creepy, but a must read.

Recently started Sarum at my husband's insistence- the fictional (but plausible) history of the Salisbury Plain from paleolithic man to the 1940s...
