Another book that was a lot of fun to read. Constant jumping back and forth and lots of little details about background characters lives and how they interrelate in this town. Not much actually happens, I suppose - a guy goes off his nut and beats some people up - but it's all about the getting there and the details. If I'd stretched this one out I probably wouldn't have enjoyed it as much, because it's a tumble, it creates it's own pace.
Just because I feel weird about posting only about books when a good deal of my reading life is online. (For some reason my 'history' seems to start my week on a Monday. *is puzzled*)
During the week starting 1/1 I read...

I think I'll try to make this just a weekly roundup list, because I can't deal with doing this every day, and I certainly can't deal with writing reviews. My highly subjective rating of hearts, on a one to five scale, is going to be affected by things like length of story and whether I know anything about the fandom or like the characters. The writing on all of these stories has been top quality, regardless of if I gave it no hearts at all.
