larryhammerThough before we get to that, you all should go watch the book trailer for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
janni's Faerie After, the final book of the trilogy. It is, of course, for linking around, if you feel like it. And possibly even, if available in your area, get a copy at the retailer of your choice, now that it's out.
Got that? Good.
What I've recently finished since my last post:
Between pre-occupied with deadlining at work and heavy travel both weekends, not much: The Common Reader by Virginia Woolf -- another read started months ago, and I finally read the last handful of reviews.
(DNF: Gosick volume 1, giving up three-quarters of the way through when I realized I just didn't care.)
What I'm reading now:
I think the only other prose I've touched is 1/3 of Kokoro Connect volume 4 and about 2/3 of the stories of Georgette Heyer's Pistols for Two, the latter mostly during take-offs and landings.
By way of Chinese verse, am nearly through Birrell's Popular Songs and Ballads of Han China. By way of travel verse, finished part 19 of Poly-Olbion -- only the one, but we're heading into Norfolk, so I've some fenny bits to look forward to -- and started volume 30 of Poems of Places, being Canada, Latin America, and the Caribbean. By way of Victoriana, alternated between The Oxford Book of Victorian Verse (~halfway through), The English Poets starting post-Landor, and more of Browning's Dramatic Lyrics.
And by way of sequential art: 1) Yi Soon Shin: Warrior and Defender by Kompan, Timpano, et al., picked up at Phoenix Comicon, based on the life of Korean admiral (and general badass) Yi Sun-sin, with a focus on his role in the Japanese Imgin invasions. Just getting started, actually. 2) Umi no Misaki volumes 1-12 by Kô Fumizuki. I've no excuse for this one: harem story with a Shinto overlay of a setup.
What I'll read next:
Who knows ...
