World Book Day

[jacey]

The books I'm reading:
Mechanique: A Tale of the Circus Tresaulti by Genevieve Valentine (on Kindle) (Nebula nominated)
The Fallen Blade by John Courtney Grimwood
Magic Bites by Ilona Andrews

Books I'm writing:
The Winterwood Choice (Adult historical fantasy, in submission)
Your Horse Sees Dead People (MG fantasy in revision)

The book I love the most:
Curse of Chalion by Lois McMaster Bujold
But lots of books run it a close second and I really couldn't choose between them.

The last book I received as a gift:
My family don't buy me books, they know I prefer to buy my own (and they don't know what I have already), but Christmas 2010 (pre-Kindle) I received Lois McMaster Bujold's Cryoburn in hardback because I dropped very heavy hints

The last book I bought for myself:
Lucifer Falling (a short story collection) by Julian Flood

The last book I gave as a gift:
Christmas 2011;  Architectural Principles in the Age of Humanism by Rudolf Wittkower
and This is Not My Snowman
(not to the same recipient)

The Nearest Book
My kindle is on my desk with over 100 books tucked inside it, otherwise:
River, an anthology edited by Alma Alexander (containing my story, Floodlust)
The First Cadfael Omnibus by Ellis Peters (bought but not yet read)
New York Public Library Science Desk Reference
The Shorter Oxford English Dictionary
and Plain Country Friends, the Quakers of High Flatts (a local history book) by Bower and Knight
