I don't know quite what happened (maybe it was RL taking over?), but I actually only read two books in June and July...and one of those was a re-read. *is embarrassed*

*drumroll*

So here they are:

1. Drums of Autumn by Diana Gabaldon - 4th book in the Outlander series, and every bit as good as the other three.
2. Club Dead by Charlaine Harris - 3rd book in the Sookie Stackhouse series. Re-read to prepare me for the next book in the series. I read the first three books a while ago, but never got around to reading the rest - even though I enjoyed the first three and own them all. Hmm...I can't think why I'm so keen to read them now. *g*

And that's it.

I did read a lot of classic Spike/Buffy fanfiction, though. I went through a lot of my old links and saved as many of my favourite stories as I could find. So many of the old archives are disappearing and I'd hate to lose any of the amazing fic I've read over the years. We're lucky to have had so many wonderful storytellers in our fandom!

Isn't it funny how quickly things can change?

In my LJ post about fandom (flocked) last week, I talked about my everlasting love of the Buffyverse and Spike, and how no other character or show could ever move me in the same way. And while that is still largely true (Spike and the Buffyverse will always be my number one), I have since watched the first nine episodes of S2 of True Blood. Now I loved S1 - it was cracktastic TV at its best - but S2 has completely blown it out of the water. And the unexpected has happened: a new character love has been born. I wasn't expecting it, and I didn't particularly want it. It just happened.

I have so much going on in my fandom life right now. I have my enduring love of the Buffyverse and Spike. I have my very new love of Eric and True Blood (I can't believe there are only 3 eps of S2 left!), which is quickly becoming my second favourite fandom. Then in September Supernatural will be back (oh boys, how I've missed you!), which will most likely mean a change of LJ/DW header to go with the new season. *g* I also have Doctor Who, Being Human, Lost, Dexter, House, Grey's Anatomy and Dollhouse to look forward to (Dollhouse started off weak, but I came to love it by the end of the season - and Epitaph One blew me away!). And hopefully, I'll also have new Torchwood at some point in the future *fingers crossed*.

Ooh...and last but not least, I'll also have Lie To Me and Caprica for my JM fix! *squee*

OMG, I really am turning into a fandom whore! :D

But seriously...

No, my fandom life couldn't get any better than it is right now. And I'm happier with it than I've been in a long time. Maybe because I'm happier in RL too? *ponders*

But yes, it really is a funny old world, isn't it? :)

Long time no see. *waves*

I haven't had a great deal of time for reading lately, but here is a (short) list of the books I've read over the last couple of months:

1. Cross Stitch by Diana Gabaldon (aka Outlander) - second half (first half read in March). I am seriously in love with these books!
2. Turn Coat (The Dresden Files) by Jim Butcher
3. Dragonfly in Amber (Outlander series) by Diana Gabaldon
4. Voyager (Outlander series) by Diana Gabaldon - Have I mentioned how much I love these books yet? *g* They're looong (this one is over a thousand pages), but oh so fabulous. I can't get enough of them!

And that's it. :)

I finally have my laptop back (yay!), so hopefully I'll be able to start posting more soon. I hope you're all well. *hugs*

Attempting to crosspost to both LJ and DW. :)

I managed to import my LJ over to DW without any problems at all. Incredibly easy and pain free so far! :D

Now let's see if this works...

I haven't read anywhere near as many books as I wanted to this month. RL sucks sometimes. :(

Books read in March:

1. On The Prowl - Stories written by Patricia Briggs, Eileen Wilks, Karen Chance and Sunny.
Only the first two stories are worth reading imo. 'Alph and Omega' is great.
2. Cry Wolf - Patricia Briggs
Sequel to 'Alpha and Omega'
3. Cross Stitch (Outlander in the US) by Diana Gabaldon
Only read first half so far, but enjoying it immensely. Not great literature by any means, but wonderful escapism.

And that's all folks. :)
