Stuff, things, and requesting reading recommendations!

- Stroppy One: still sickly. And it has been pointed out to me that my continuing exhaustion, wooziness, and occasional chest-rattling cough might be, oh, signs of walking pneumonia. YES, I am making an appointment with my doctor.

- Work got busy. Argh!

- OH MY GOD I AM SO BEHIND ON WRITING.

What better time to ask for book requests? I am craving vaguely Victorian-ish AU or paranormal stuff. The books I find myself thinking of re-reading right now are gailcarriager's Parasol Protectorate series, Kim Newman's splendid Anno Dracula, or Libba Bray's Gemma Doyle trilogy. (I also love the Sorcery and Cecila books by Patricia C. Wrede and Caroline Stevermer, and the College of Magic books by Caroline Stevermer.)

So! Victorian-ish paranormal books. Any suggestions?

Argh, still covet this print

You know what the problem with browsing the daily_lolita community is? I'm reminded of the gorgeous "Vampire Requiem" print from Alice & the Pirates.



Not that I could ever justify spending the sort of money anything from this line went for, and it wouldn't fit me anyway. But I do love that (custom-printed) fabric.

Some day the Stroppy One will help me design a gothy-goth print, and I will place an order with Spoonflower. Some day.
