foggy, giving way to sun
Lots and lots of fog this morning, but the sun burned through and it is gloriously bright out there now. My energy level and overall mood approve.
I am having lots of fun writing trope snippets (but wow, you guys like the accidental-baby-acquisition one. SekritVirgin, too, but that's not that big of a surprise. Who knew babyfic had such a following?) and it is not too late to play along! See here on DW and here on LJ to leave a pairing/fandom and pick a trope to go along with it. I will bundle them all up and post them neatly once I work through them.
...and it is Wednesday, so I will do the reading meme. (Wow, 3 weeks in a row--this is some kind of a record.)
What I'm Reading
Still savoring Austen's Persuasion. Possibly because my youngest kid had a meltdown this last weekend and I have been sensitized to it, but Wentworth is kind of a drama queen, yeah? (In a totally manly, Royal Navy kind of a way, I mean.)
Non-fictionally, I'm kind of reading The Billionaire's Vinegar (Benjamin Wallace) for a book club, though I'm finding myself going through it in grad-school style. And since I tend to read in cycles, I'm also skimming Mark Oldman's Guide to Outsmarting Wine and Brave New World of Wine. It's almost time for the museum's wine auction & associated festivities to start and like I said, I read in cycles.
What I Just Finished
Wonder Show (Hannah Barnaby), which was wonderfully atmospheric without being precious. The setting, especially the travelling wonder show of the title, was pretty much a character in and of itself and I enjoyed the multiple points of view she used.
What's Next
I think The Secret History of the Pink Carnation has the next due date, so that, probably. Or not, depending on what catches my eye. :D

I am inspired by your consistency! I will try to post something tonight.

I haven't seen the Persuasion with Rupert Penry-Jones as Wentworth, but I've seen him in other things, and he looks pretty much exactly like POB's description of Jack Aubrey--much more so that Russell Crowe.
