adelynne | This, that, and other things.

First, I must highly recommend this thread over at

nihilistic_kid's LJ for those of you who do not mind getting your eyeballs burned and some very... *ahem* effulgent laughs.

In other news, I think

truepenny has managed to snare me in the gorgeous web that is Mélusine in four pages. Her ability to create atmosphere, set up character, and do away with a great deal of the setup that would normally take people several chapters is amazing. I must acquire the book as soon as possible (I picked it up during my lunch break, and couldn't go back before th Coop closed), possibly tomorrow.

Finished The Faery Reel, review pending until I have more time. Now I'm reading The Green Man, and though it occurs to me that I probably did this one backward, I continue to be astounded by Delia Sherman's ability to start off every anthology I've picked up this month.

I go drink tea and try and deal with the headache that Boston weather is prompting now. And watch Babylon 5 with the uninitiated.
