I totally cannot concentrate on any one book right now. Here are the books I have in progress, not counting the ones that are sort of in progress but I haven't touched in a week.
The Sublime and Spirited Voyage of Original Sin by Colette Moody. Lesbian pirates. I swear I will finish it before the end of the month.
In the Garden of Sin by Louisa Burton - more sin? This is erotica with supernatural creatures. I'm reading and re-reading various bits of it, but am not sure if I'm going to blog about it.
Flashman in the Great Game by George MacDonald Fraser. I have to be in the right mood for Flashman.
Fanfiction - currently, a Highlander: The Raven story that does not have Amanda but does have Methos and Joe. And Nick Wolfe.
Plastic: A Toxic Love Story - I mentioned this one the other day. I really get involved in it, then I forget about it for a few days as my mood changes.
And finally, I actually finished Angela Brazil's The Luckiest Girl in the School, but also downloaded all the rest of them from Project Gutenberg and I expect I will be reading a lot of them. Like, a lot. Maybe I'll do a blog post eventually. This was the fault of![[personal profile]](https://imgprx.livejournal.net/be49c7db8b6ceae348d4a22600c5c9c9ef89c363/hd1YTmFo8WyD1Za17iZ8DU5okrXix4UcLjbQMzBoCORDLa2d4AyaMlavd_285-zaPSPC1hLFpC18lvupjUBc33l9LkCs3OL_boL8nVxTjN4)

In other news, The Maw said last night that she misses you and wants to have fun with you again. I said I'd let you know.
I've been hyper-jumpy too. Books I've read anything of since this weekend include, in chronological order of last reading anything from:
Clarissa, Richardson
A Fortunate Term, Brazil
The Phoenix in Flight, Smith & Trowbridge
Selected Poems, Hugo
The Trumpeter of Sakkingen, von Scheffel
Philis, Lodge
The Civil Wars, Daniel
Poems and Ballads - First Series, Swinburne
So, two Elizabethan poets, two continental Romantic poets, a Victorian post-Romantic poet, a schoolgirl story, a space opera, and a thick slab of a classic novel.
(Realization about Clarissa: it takes place entirely in a single calendar year, with the bulk of the letters between March and early October. It's a bit late to start, but reading a given day's letters would make an interesting project.)
ETA: WOAH! A Fortunate Term was released only two weeks ago, and it already has over 8 times the downloads of any other Brazil novel?

And there are two new characters!
And there are two new characters! <tempt, tempt>
I am indeed getting sucked into the world. And finding the entry much easier than before.
