May. 21st, 2014 02:53 pmI managed to get in viewing #3 of CA:TWS last night and (not spoilery) one of the things that's been reinforced by multiple viewings is how much I like Natasha's relationship with Fury. That's mostly self-serving, because I feel like it matches up with how I wrote the two of them in you need a rock not a rolling stone, but still, I do like them.
Reading stuff:
finished
Paris Letters, Janice McLeod -- I thought this one was going to stall out and go back to the library a DNF, but I did finish it and pretty easily, too. I think once she started trying to make a life/living in Paris it got more interesting than the previous, more navel-gazing parts that got her out of her job and off into the world. I do like seeing how people make their way in life, so that's not surprising, I guess. I would have liked to have seen more of her watercolors reproduced in actual color, but I do understand the issues with color printing.
reading now
Z, a novel of Zelda Fitzgerald, but I think I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I've had it for 6 weeks and the nice librarian just renewed it for me again, but clearly, if I haven't gotten through it yet, it's just not for me. The only thing I'm taking away from it is a desire to read some of Scott & Zelda's actual letters to each other.
The Pirate Next Door, Jennifer Ashley, the previously-mentioned Regency about the, well, pirate next door. There's now a child from a previous relationship (his) who necessitates a governess (hers) who knows the first mate off the pirate ship. Fun times.
An Assembly Such As This, Pamela Aidan -- Pride & Prejudice from Darcy's POV, thanks to a little birdie. I opened the file and immediately got sucked in.
what's next
Presumably, the rest of Aidan's trilogy. I also just picked up The Lost Sisterhood, Pamela Fortier, from my hold list and whatever her intention, I can only see Wonder Woman in the story of the titular Amazonian sisterhood. (c'mon, the protagonist's name is Diana, how can I not make the connections?)
