Books!

[seventhe]

I have given in to another fantastic work-time-wasting sort of device. GoodReads. I'm on as Seventhe, under seventhe.net@gmail.com - come join me and rot my mind with fantastically good books plz.

I'm still updating it. This is hard. Pretty much all I read in college were chemical engineering textbooks on stuff like separation towers. I do not think you guys want to read that! Other than that all I've read in the past 283 years is Robin McKinley. ;)

Anyway. I'm wasting a fantastically awesome amount of time on it this morning. WHEEE.

Looks like a cool site, but it runs a bit slow for me (at least right now).

Also, if I start doing this for real, it's just going to EAT my time and the remains of my brain. Buwah.

Anyway I registered as Enkida (BIG SURPRISE) if there is some kind of friend-adding thing to that. Not going to look into it myself right now, though, since it's a slow site.

It's being slow for me too; I thought it was just the work internets. It is seriously addicting though. BOOKS.

I need an arg icon!

Arg this thing so bothersome! It sped up and I started randomly adding books to my list... and then I realized, this is a sure way to go quietly insane. I can't believe how many books I've read, come to think of it. I 'm going to be spending the rest of my natural life doing effin' data entry, I tell you.

I seriously can't remember more than 6 books. Which is obscene. I know I just packed them all. There are like 5 boxes of them sitting around in the basement.

I bet you remember more than you realize. You just need to take one look at the inside or back jacket (or sometimes even the cover) and it will all come back to you.

For example I can barely remember anything about Foster's 'Spellsinger' series, but whenever I hear the lyrics to the Beach Boy's "Sloop John B" it comes back to me, right down to the talking otter, Mudge. ;-)

I have a feeling than when that box gets unpacked there will be a frantic run to GoodReads so that I can prove I'm not a total moron. ;)

Agreeing with Enkida--it's running really slow, but I'm on there as irishais. (WOW, WE ARE SO ORIGINAL OMG.) Books. <3

also, am writing shameless smut, which is being a total distraction anyway.

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

This is fantastic, as I have no good way to get recs in real life. No one I know IRL reads fantasy books!

BTW, did you ever get Sunshine? I wonder if it's too late to call and bitch someone out.

SMUT SMUT SMUTSMUTSMUT.

[irish-ais.livejournal.com]

I DID NOT EVER GET SUNSHINE. D:

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

BOO DAMMIT I NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT

[yukihada.livejournal.com]

I ditto that yes...you should read Sunshine. I do not like the Vampire fic generally but did love Sunshine. Then again...I think I would have Robin McKinley's babies if it were anatomically possible.

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

I worship that woman, in an almost dangerous way. XD

[heyheyrenay.livejournal.com]

YOU KNOW ME! *waves*

And it is being slow today, but I swear it's normally not that bad!

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

I have already been through your profile! *stalker* I'm halfway through 'Wicked' and I seriously want to know what you thought of it. (Once I'm done, of course.)

[venefica-aura.livejournal.com]

I've been adding books slowly. Sometimes if I see a book on a friend's list that I've read I'll add it (like I did with Wicked thanks for the reminder). I like it a lot better than LibraryThing, which is another social booksite. I'm starting to really like social bookmarking sites (this is another form of bookmarking, har har) for some reason. I have no idea why.

I'm starting to get into it, mainly because I HAVEN'T READ A GOOD BOOK IN AGES. Seriously. My mum has been throwing books at me, but that's only one source. It wasn't until I started tossing books around with Rina/Ira/Nay/Nikki that I really got back into having a massive TO-READ list. ;)

I really want to ask you about Wicked. I'm halfway through, and I'm loving the hell out of it.

[venefica-aura.livejournal.com]

It's lots of good. I also really liked Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister by him. Very... dream-like.

May I friend you here and there. Because I've found you through irishais and I love your fanfic on ff.net. And I just started a goodreads account yesterday night. My name there is Ellyddan.

And hey...Robin McKinley is love.

And yeah I think I kinda squeeed this response out.

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

YES YES YES. ROBIN MCKINLEY IS WIN.

Friend away! <3
