of those I haven't recommended yet, what occurs to me is "Nimona", a graphic novel (it's pretty great). there were also flawed-but-not-bad ones but I think I mentioned them at some point... I think I mention everything here. except book I read in russian. except when I want to complain about them XD

Oh! I read "Nimona" as a webcomic! I hadn't realized it had made it into printed form, I'll have to find a copy.

I started reading The Lady in the Attic (Annie's Attic Mysteries #1). I'm 50 pages in. It's about a lady who inherits her grandmother's house after her death. She finds a cross stitch picture in the attic. It's of a woman. But the grandmother only did nature scenes. So the granddaughter decides to try to figure out who the woman in the cross stitch is. No particular reason, just curiosity. I don't know if I am going to be able to finish it because I can't see how it matters, and I really don't care....

I've been browsing through Briggs' "A Dictionary of British Folk-Tales" (part B Volume 2) since Moi mentioned Welsh fairy legends. I've never yet sat down and read it cover-to-cover, because it's just too much fun to open it randomly and read a sampling and then flip around in it for some other odd story.

Oh! Yes, those are fun. And they're useful for me in that they keep referencing other pop-culture works which makes me look things up and then learn a little bit more. Also it's helping my French.

I don't think she's come right out and said/thought that. But I'm assuming that's the case. And I can relate to that. I would be curious too in her shoes. It's just... Not enough to keep me interested for a book, you know? I feel like I have bigger mysteries than that weekly lol.
