things!

1; Went back to the library this week for the first time in a couple months, and picked up Catherine Coulter's The Nightingale Legacy, which I think I read once back in high school along with a few of her other ones? (It's been years since I've done the whole romance novel thing; back in the day, I only nosed into that section to give myself (occasional & very brief) breaks between SF/F binges. :P What can I say, I imprinted on my favored genres at a very young age.) In any case, the Coulter was just as bland as I half-remembered. Feh.

On the other hand, I also picked up Ursula LeGuin's The Left Hand of Darkness on karanguni's long-ago recommendation, and as;dlkfja;sldgkh eeeeee! &hearts &hearts &hearts HOLY SHIT, you guys, that was SO SATISFYING. ALSO, MINDBLOWING. I've been dying for a good scifi kick for ages; should've remembered to go back to LeGuin. MORE OF HER BOOKS, I NEED THEM, NOW. Um, possibly I will blog about this one properly when I am more coherent/have finished the rest of the books I borrowed.

2; sophinisba gave me six icons to talk about! ( here )

Let me know if you want six! :)
