(no subject)

I was, unusually, struck with the urge to do something useful today, so now my linens cupboard is in order and pruned of ancient sheets, unnecessary throws and suchlike, *and* the spare bookshelf from Bun's room has been moved into this one and there has been considerable rearranging of books. We now have spare capacity on the shelves, and I have discovered a few duplicates among my books.

Would anyone like to give a good home to:

Dorothy Dunnett: Niccolo Rising (This was my very first Dunnett book, found in a charity shop but still in decent condition - it doesn't fit well on the bookshelf and I have a slightly smaller edition now. I prefer the Niccolo series to the Francis Crawford of Lymond series, as Niccolo is somewhat less highly strung and a lot less noble than Lymond.)

Jacqueline Carey: Kushiel's Justice, also Naamah's Kiss (I seem to have bought both twice, probably because I haven't got round to reading either of them.)

Stephen Jay Gould: Dinosaur in a Haystack (series of essays on evolution, snails and baseball)

Let me know if you'd like any of the above, otherwise they'll join the *four* sacks of Stuff To Go To The Oxfam Shop.


I was amused to see that the POTUS has a Tumblr—was led there from Shakesville, specifically to this post. Hah.


I also found myself reading some unexpected but very tasty porn earlier today. Three delightful PWPs in the under-appreciated Die Hard 4 fandom, here,
here and here.
