"Is it in the interests of the realm that a single monarch hold the throne? Blessed Elua did not think so; 'twas his Companions who parceled the realm in jealous pieces. You seek to hold a prize given you by accident of birth, Ysandre de la Courcel. I seek to claim it by right of the wits with which I was born. [...] Do not tell me you do not play my game."

Pet Peeve: People asking for a book rec for them/other people they know without telling you what they like.
If I don't know you and your taste, how on earth you think I can give you a reasonable advice?!

On another topic, back to the "picking next book to read" business...

I like Lord Death and John both. And the writing. And the story.
It started slow, but I'm warming up towards this tale.

Goal of the evening: to reach page 50 of my current book.
Chance of that happening: ...

Giuro che avevo dei libri cartacei e non li trovo più ._.
Inizio ad avere paura del mio armadio.

Too tired to read :(

Oh. I didn't know they were doing a serial tv out of Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell.
That's interesting. I liked the book, but it didn't seem very movie-able to me.

Victoria Schwab fangirls over Scott Lynch. Scott Lynch sends Xmas gifts to Catherynne Valente. My world is complete.

The worst thing about a day like today is the headache is killing any chance of good reading time :(

I knew it. That pig.

Wer reitet so spät durch Nacht und Wind?
Es ist der Vater mit seinem Kind;
Er hat den Knaben wohl in dem Arm,
Er faßt ihn sicher, er hält ihn warm.
[...]
Dem Vater grauset's, er reitet geschwind,
Er hält in Armen das ächzende Kind,
Erreicht den Hof mit Müh' und Not;
In seinen Armen das Kind war tot.

Once upon a time, I knew it by memory.

Ok. I think I've added enough books for today.
Not sure, tho.

Just bought three new ebooks.
'cause I have not enough of them. Also, it's not my fault, I paid for them just 12,80 € so I really couldn't resist, y/y? ._.

Oh. A reference to The Six Swans tale :')
Even if it's not a joyous reference. But how it could be

It took me more time than to decide "what-to-read-next" yestarday, but I've finally decided what my "Catena di Natale" gift will be bwahahahahahah. Ah.

I like Hanne the most, so far :)

It took only 3.40 hrs to pick it (with the considerable help of Giovanna).
On the upside, next pick-a-book round should be several days away xD

I'm back to my usual problem.
No idea about what to read next.
