So yous guys.

I graduated today. (Well, I walked. I still have three more finals. idk either.)

BUT THE POINT OF THIS POST ISSS. Um. My momma got me a Sony Reader for my graduation. It lets you read books on it. BA in English lol what is that. ANYWAY, she gave me a gift card, too, and I'm eager to try the thing out, so... Because I'm terrible and have forgotten how to read for entertainment or whatnot:

RECOMMEND ME SOME BOOKS, Y'ALL

I will compile a list.

PLUS THIS IS A GRAND OPPORTUNITY FOR US ALL TO LEARN ABOUT EACH OTHER VIA LITERATURE PREFERENCES. OR WHATEVER.

... I'm excited. >>

She brought me Tiramisu too goddamn I love my mother.


P.S. This is my first post to GDS. Hi.

Thank you for making this post! I've been trying to read a lot more but am usually drawing a blank as to what to reserve at the library.

Here's what I can think of off the top of my head.

The Temeraire series (starting with His Majesty's Dragon) by Naomi Novik. Napoleonic Wars + dragons = epic win. I finally started reading this series after people had suggested it for years and am kicking myself for waiting as long as I did.

Also, if you're fond of Shakespeare, the play "Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet)" by Anne-Marie Macdonald is hilarious. The main character tries to fix Othello and Romeo and Juliet from within the plays and basically turns them upside down. (Romeo winds up running around in drag, and that's really the least of the crazy.)

There's more but it may have already been covered, it's freezing in here and I need to get my stuff together for the week. :)
