Am rather bored (no job yet *pouts*) - so have been reading an insane amount of both fan fiction (mostly Torchwood) and more books than I've read in a long while. *g*.

Have now read 'The Time Traveler's Wife' which is a really good book (was hooked by the first ten pages - and the first half is sooooo good - the second half is lightly less so, but still good *nods*) - and I can now say, Moffatt has read it *nods*, why do I say this? Well...*points at River* yeah - will have to go see film at the end of the year *nods*

Also - The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman *love* (Silas owns the world *nods*)

Otherwise, life in the house is more interesting at the moment as Tahnee is finally in season and in her third week. She's having a hard time of it poor girl, but she's also regularly getting fed up with how much Lakota fails, though in his defense he's only four months old, and she's taller than him......
But *yay* hopefully we'll get everything shorted and in six months time we'll have a pregnant Tahnee and then PUPPIES - but I may not be here *pouts*
(anyone want to see pics of how big the little boy has gotten? he hasn't lost his puppy markings yet - and may not - his eyes have settled now though - an odd shade of brown)

I seriously FAIL at writing thus far, I still have a long way to go on my Tardibigbang fic *winces* - but hopefully will get going again soon *crosses fingers* - it's my own fault mind, deciding on a plot line that requires research (on a subject that it damn hard to find books *mutters*)

I have also signed up to genderbendbb - but I think I'll do better on that one (thinking of doing Iona - over the other Torchwood genderbender am working on, as it doesn't require half the research, thankfully).

But yes - much writing to be done...

So I'm still alive - though the laptop remains dead (because I'm a wimp and I can't find the disk I need - mainly though because I'm a wimp and keep remembering just how much music is on there and don't want to wipe it by accident *g*)

I do however have deadlines *eep* (and a very late apocalypse_kree fic *hangs head*) - though after next week I have a break and time to consider whether I really want to attempt nano this year

I have internet access now though - slightly more than before - as I have claimed rights on the parents computer :) which has a much more comfortable chair - plus it's dad's fault I don't have said comfortable chair or internet on my computer sooooo.... seems fair? ;)

Am thus far loving Supernatural Season 4 - still considering a costume for pegasus (though I've done the necessary sketches and fabric searches for both possibles) - and am happily making my way though 'the chronicles of ancient darkness' series by Michelle Paver (a book a day thus far - though we only have 1-3 in the house - so will be finding 4 5 tomo) which is really good *nods* - people should go find and read :)

Am, also being slowly eaten by a crazed husky puppy who lives up to the nickname 'chewie' more every day even if ma doesn't like us calling her that :D

In answer to the last post - with the book meme about the most unread books - here's me starting a new meme.

In 2003 the BBC did a survey to discover the most read books in Britian - the following is the top 100 list. Also, as this is the most read books, we're going to do this a little differently. Strike through those that you've READ, italic the ones that you can't stand, underline those you've started but never finished and bold those on your to-read list
Further to this, put an asterisk next to those you own (whether you've read them or not) and a plus (+) next to any you've read more than once.

( Big Read - 100 most read )

I meant to do a post about this earlier - but to follow up the list I had at the beginning of the summer - here are the books that I managed to read during the holidays:

Twilight - Stephenie Meyer
New Moon - Stephenie Meyer
Northern Lights - Philip Pullman
Sharpe's Escape - Bernard Cornwall
Sharpe's Fury - Bernard Cornwall
Sharpe's Company - Bernard Cornwall

So I managed to read two of the books from my original list. Now for my list of books to read before Pegasus 3 (which seems to be a good end point) -

Eclipse - Stephenie Meyer
The Subtle Knife - Philip Pullman
The Amber Spyglass - Philip Pullman
The Dark Is Rising - Susan Cooper
The Last Legion - Valerio Massimo Manfredi
Sharpe's Sword - Bernard Cornwall
Sharpe's Enemy - Bernard Cornwall
