(no subject)

Well, I spent a good chunk of yesterday checking and updating links for HP fic on my recs journal and website, because a bunch of people/communities have understandably locked everything down since the recent shenanigans. Which I get, but I wish people would also consider archiving somewhere that wasn't LJ so we could still pimp like the evil enablers we are... ;)

The next job is going to be moving a chunk of source pictures for danielpix over from the LJ scrapbook to my website, as well as other stuff I've uploaded there along the way. [Done!] Not all of it, because I can't bring myself to go back through four years worth of posts, but I'll see how far I get before I lose the will to live.

In other news, I just hit book #56 in my ongoing quest to feel like I'm getting something for my council tax and the current book is Gradisil by Adam Roberts, which I'm enjoying very much so far. Other than that, I've also posted some of the audiobooks I've been listening to on my commute and I freely admit to being utterly addicted to Eoin Colfer's Artemis Fowl books - the first couple were read by Nathaniel Parker, which also helped, but it's just the whole Butler-Artemis dynamic! Other stuff I've read since my last post on this subject:

Pegasus Descending by James Lee Burke
A Gentle Axe by R.N. Morris
The Gardens of the Dead by William Brodrick
Dead Witch Walking by Kim Harrison
The Last Witchfinder by James Morrow
Water Touching Stone by Eliot Pattison

Last, but not least, here's a couple of links people might find interesting...

Bookie Monster - a book review website with a title I'm surprised nobody else came up with before.

Joe Abercrombie - entertaining blog written by the author of the excellent The Blade Itself (read it!) and its sequels, where he whines a lot about mean critics! ;)

Smart Bitches, Trashy Books - I don't read their genre of choice (romance novels) but I do have a liking for their turn of phrase and the immensely entertaining man-titty cover posts. Warning: you may wish to adjust your screen to account for the pinkness of the website. Second warning: they have an unhealthy liking for David Hasselhoff.
