I am reading three books at the same time now. But one is very heavy reading, it's a theory about the distribution of population across the world, which also includes the 'invasion' of America. Hence the name 'Guns, germs and steel' and it's written by Jared Diamond. The way it is written is kinda complicated, more like a 450 page thesis in font size nine or something. So I am reading it in between my other books, because I really want to finish it. It's quite interesting.

The other books that I am reading are 'Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children' by Ransom Riggs and 'Thing of Beauty' the biography about Gia Marie Carangi by Stephen M. Fried.

I finished The Likeness by Tana French last night, and it was fantastic! I quite liked her first book, Into the Woods, but this one blew it out of the water! She can write amazing suspense, but it was the characters and their day-to-day lives that really hooked me. I'm quite sad her third novel isn't out yet.

I'm also (still) re-reading the Harry Potter series, and I'm now on my third Doctor Who novel, Illegal Alien. The first two I read were good but not wowing, so if this one doesn't impress me I'll probably skip ahead to ones I've had recommended.

Tymewyrm: Revelation, which so far has been excellent, and easily my favourite Doctor Who novel of read. Also Faithful Place by Tana French, which isn't quite as wonderful as The Likeness but still very very good, and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

I just read A Visit from the Goon Squad. I actually saw an article on 11 new classics and this one looked good. Then I looked in the city of austin e-book list and it was available. I'm just getting into checking out e-books on my kindle and it's easy. They don't have a great big selection but I enjoyed the book very much.

Right now I'm reading Ash by Melinda Lo which was recommended in the Lesbian Books thread here. Again, I checked and it was available as a kindle borrow at our library.

Ammonite by Nicola Griffith.

I looked up this author thanks to Kathryn's recommendation. This novel is sci-fi, set on an all female world. I think that the ideas and the setting overshadowed the characters at times, but it was very interesting and I'm looking forward to reading other books by this writer.

'Truth and Beauty - a friendship' By Ann Patchett.

An stunning book, telling the story of her friendship with the writer Lucy Grealy.

"Blanche on the Lam" by Barbara Neely, old favorite. Suspenseful, full of humor rage and real sense of stepping into an entirely different world. A woman who is self-employed as a domestic cleaner/cook escapes a thirty day jail term and lands in a murder mystery. Not lesbian but definitely feminist! And absorbing.

Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. I started it a few months ago and loved it but go distracted, so I'm starting over. It's very funny!

[url]Peaceful Parents Happy Kids[/url] by Dr. Laura Markham. This is one of the best and most useful books, particularly parenting books I've ever read. She has a website with a lot of the information and she sends out excellent e-mails every day but the book is so good that although Rachel bought it on Kindle, I asked her to buy it for me for Valentine's and she did. I can't recommend the book highly enough.

I'm listening to a book called What I Talk about when I Talk about Running. I can't say that much good about it but it's allowing me to try out listening to a borrowed library book on the Overdrive app.

I just finished reading and keep going back to reread parts of I'll Cover You by A.C. Grey.

I am really good a reading multiple books at the same time. I have a book for certain places, yes I am weird.

The Liar's Guide to South America by Mike Delwiche. (On PC Kindle, so it's the book I read when I am on my laptop.)
Smoking is Cool by my friend Andrew Moody (Of which I read one or two chapters before sleeping on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.)
How to be Death by Amber Benson(Of which I read one or two chapters in bed before sleeping on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.)
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern (Which I read on the Train to Uni.)
The Seven Whistlers by Amber Benson and Christopher Golden (Which I read on my Android Kindle app, when I am bored during a lecture, free periods or on the train when I accidentally forgot the Erin Morgenstern book).

And reading this I might think I have a problem, some kind of reading disorder. It seems that I might suffer from book autism or something. And if that is not a thing, it is now.

I've been rereading my favourite books from when I was about 10, Tamora Pierce's Song of the Lioness Quartet. It's interesting to see them through an adult perspective; they're still really fun, and very nostalgic, but it's weird realizing that they're not nearly as good as I thought they were, and the transphobia makes me uncomfortable. Still, they're the books that shaped my childhood, and a girl learning to fence, ride horses, and be a generally awesome warrior is still an inspiring tale.
