Daily Reading (03 September 2015)

[nanila]

What have you been reading today? Everything counts, from a novel-length fic to the labels on your washing!

(Sorry I've been slow at responding to comments on last weekend's reading/roundup. This is my first week back working full-time since maternity leave so I'm still finding my feet with scheduling my fun-on-DW-time. I'm sure I'll get better at it; in the meantime, my apologies.)

I randomly picked The Owl Service by Alan Garner out of my friends' library last night and got halfway through it. Subsequently, I had some very peculiar dreams about plates, possession and picturesque Welsh valleys.

One stray spoiler for Seanan McGuire's A Red-Rose Chain. I shan't share it, in case anyone here wishes to go in unspoiled, but my reaction to that spoiler is HUZZAH and also ABOUT TIME.

Also some Twitter and Facebook and lots of Seanan's Tumblr. (Which is not where the spoiler came from. That was umadoshi's journal. Though an earlier spoiler I saw came from Seanan's Twitter.)

Re-reading a lot of old fic beginnings in the hopes of adding some words to them, fairly successfully so far.

I hope to finish reading the fic I started a while back and read some actual book (Ghosts of Cannae and/or Trickster makes this world) tonight. (I'm going to see if telling you my reading plans daily makes me more likely to stick to them.)

All the usual (Twitter, links therefrom, bedtime novel), and chain maille tutorials because of course I need to learn yet another jewelry-making technique when I have 349574798435839 projects already on my to-do list. *facepalm*
