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 only found it after it'd been published but fell in love right away

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....

does she want to learn more about her grandmother and think this picture can help?
I've decided to finally read "That Inevitable Victorian Thing" and put it on my desk. now it's on my desk. instead of reading it, I started "Fluency" by Jennifer Foehner Wells. consistency has never been my strength

Finished reading the Virgin Suicides the other day. Loved it, as predicted. Now trying to figure out which new book is next, so in the mean time reading Storm of Swords over again.

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.
