The book group this week was fun. We didn't talk about books though. Well, we did, but really only as an aside. Our reading schedule somewhat keeled over after the extended Crime and Punishment reading, and then a meeting cancellation after that.
The Crime and Punishment reading was a disaster, incidentally. Three people didn't even start it. One person closed it after chapter two, I read till around halfway then switched to the audiobook in a panic to finish it, and one person is still reading it, but is stalled a third of the way in. Marked it down as a poor choice - it was just too long, even over a couple of months.
In other news, I've imported
curious_spells, the joint fic journal I have with
emungere, and the home of Cupidity! So it is all over here now apart from the comments, which are still in the queue. At some point we need to upload it to AO3, but at least it's all on DW now. A task done, yay!

It's lovely to see you is all. *more hugs*
Oh ... and you have an AO3 account too? May I stalk you? With the promise of new Saiyuki anime and I've been playing catch up with the manga ... I might want to revisit old fic! Because even if I do upload my new stuff on ff these days ... *shiver* - its a very scary place.
Also - Happy Easter, enjoy the long weekend. Hope things are good with you. Love - Zan

Date: 2017-04-14 11:09 am (UTC)We've chosen The Lives of Stella Bain by Anita Shreve. I've never read any of her books before, but others have and say she's good. I'm not set on fire by the idea, but maybe that will change when I actually start to read it, rather than just stare at it.
