Rules:

Pick ten books (prose novels work best; so pick no more than one play and one comic), and post your favourite line from each. (To make things more difficult, blank out any character names.)

Then it's everyone else's job to try and guess the title, the author, and the character speaking.

( This is a pretty predictable list but whatever. )

I have not forgotten to do this! It's just that the beginning of May is stupid-busy, what with Free Comic Book Day and all.

( A Wizard of Mars, Diane Duane )( Supergirls: Fashion, Feminism, Fantasy and the History of Comic Book Heroines, Mike Madrid )( Callahan's Lady, Spider Robinson )
Not on the list due to Paypal problems that can't be resolved until my mom gets back from B.C.: The Wolf House: Fair Game, Mary Borsellino.

And now, for something completely different: The meme where people pick icons for you to talk about is going around!
Via mrs_laugh_track:
( four icons + blather )So, yeah! Comment if you want me to pick some icons!

I always want to keep track of all the books I read in a year, but then it never happens. This year I'm gonna fucking do it. Probably-spoilery thoughts on each book behind the cut!

I have some drawings to scan, but they are kind of crappy on account of being drawn entirely on buses and subways. Also it is around midnight and I am really tired. The kind of tired where you don't really want to sleep, but you can't do anything else of use. Do other people get that, or is it just me?

colonize tagged me with Bellatrix for that picspam-meme, but I couldn't find all the pictures. I might have to draw some of them myself, is that cheating?

Anyway, the point is, I can't do that meme right now, so I'm gonna do this one instead:

1. Post about something that made you happy today, even if it's just a small thing.
2. Do this every day for eight days without fail.

* The episode of Merlin S1 with Lancelot in! And subsequent flaily conversations about Arthurian legend with cws_eat_chs. I've been a diehard Arthur/Guinevere/Lancelot shipper since the summer I was eight or so and read twelve different Arthur cycles in two months. Including Mists of Avalon. Yeah.

* The year's first Critical Sexualities class! This basically involved a lot of rude words. You've not lived until you've had a prof make a room full of students say "Cocksucker" in unison. Also, one of my friends who doesn't live in Toronto is in this class, and I hadn't seen him since spring.

* Finally finished Tamora Pierce's Terrier! When I'm depressed I find it really hard to finish books. I've started that one at least twice. And now I'm done! There is nothing like finishing a really good book. Even if I did guess who the murderer was pretty early on.
