I meant to go to bed early last night and ended up staying up too late reading fic that turned out not to even be complete. Sigh. Why is that always the way?

Anyway, in terms of other reading, let's do the meme:

What I've just finished
The Tyrant's Tomb (Trials of Apollo #4) by Rick Riordan, which I enjoyed a lot. Apollo has really grown as a character and also in terms of how much I enjoy him now as a narrator, so that's good.

I also did a reread of Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom and they are even better the second time around when you know how things are going to work and you can see how Kaz is manipulating things and then how he has to think on the fly when things don't work the way he planned. ♥KAZ♥

I really want to write some Kaz/Inej now, but mostly I just have nebulous OTP feels, no real story ideas aside from "they learn how to touch each other, and also Inej becomes the scourge of slavers everywhere" so if you've got any story ideas lying around, I'm willing to accept prompts. I did look at last year's yuletide prompts, but they were mostly of the "post Crooked Kingdom, Kaz and Inej figure out their issues and learn to be together" variety (my own included!) without any real inspirational hook to hang a story on, at least for me.

Penhallow Amid Passing Things by Iona Datt Sharma, which I liked but wished were longer.

What I'm reading now
All Our Pretty Songs by Sarah McCarry - so far the writing is really evocative but the plot hasn't kicked in yet - I only started it this morning on the train.

What I'm reading next
Well, the next Rivers of London was bumped to February, so I'm just waiting for the Ronan book to come out and I'll see which of the many, many books on my iPad I can mark as read before that happens. *g*
