Last night I started "Side Jobs" an anthology of random small jobs done between the bigger jobs related to the Dresden Files universe...
I just finished book 13 (Dresden Files)... no idea when book 14 will be released. And I feel a bit upside down with how 13 ended.

I finished Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, I guess being sick gave me the opportunity to finally finish it. It was good, not excellent, and I am sure a sequel is coming.
I have just downloaded and I am getting ready to enjoy this: Spanish title: "Confieso que he vivido: Memorias" I downloaded it both in English and Spanish. I like to see how well the translation is done to see if it truly reflects the meaning of his work. |

After some insistant persuasion be some friends (including one who like me, isn't into fantasy) I'm going the the local Library to get the Twilight trilogy. I've avoided reading the books and watching the movies to date. I'm not really interested in Vampire stories (I read a lot when I was younger and most were fairly generic), the only exception is: Interview with a Vampire by Anne Rice. I still have the book (and movie on DVD), I felt it broke the mould of Vampiric stories and apart from Bram Stoker's Dracula, it holds a bench mark of quality and originality........so, I'll give the Twilight trilogy a chance - no guarantee I'm going to like them, lol!

Geek Alert
I am listening to a six CD set called:
Sitting by the Well ~ Bringing the Feminine to Consciousness through Language, Dreams, and Metaphor By Marion Woodman. I am giving this CD set to every single woman on my christmas list. It is inspiring, eye opening and filled with deep deep insights. She was described as a mythopoetic author. In Canada, and abroad she was a women's movement figure. She was a Jungian analyst and from what I can tell one of the most widely read authors on feminine psychology. She was anorexic for 25 years and it was her illness that led her to Jungian psychology and dream analysis. I would have loved to have met this charming, intelligent and incredibly witty woman. This CD set has taught me MORE about Feminine symbolism and the female archetype than anything I have ever delved into.

I'm currently reading
Snowdrops by A.D. Miller  "That’s the truth about the Russians that I missed until it was too late. The Russians will do the impossible thing—the thing you think they can’t do, the thing you haven’t even thought of. They will set fire to Moscow when the French are coming or poison each other in foreign cities. They will do it, and afterwards they will behave as if nothing has happened at all. And if you stay in Russia long enough, so will you." Next on deck is IQ84 by Haruki Murakami  Praise for Haruki Murakami: "Murakami is like a magician who explain what he's doing as he performs the trick and still makes you believe he has supernatural powers... But while anyone can tell a story that resembles a dream, it's a rare artist, like this one, who can make us feel that we are dreaming it ourselves." — The New York Times Book Review

I am currently reading the Jane Dunn book. After I finish this, then onto Gold's book about the Irish Pirate Queen. I was drawn to read these books because they were all very powerful women living in 16th Century Britian. To be powerful women in these times I suspect these women were "above average."
If you like history, and powerful women I think you will enjoy reading these books. Queen Elizabeth and Grace O'Malley did meet, face-to-face. Elizabeth and Mary Queen of Scots never did meet face-to-face. Most of us know how that story ended. __________________________________________________ ______________ Elizabeth and Mary: Cousins, Rivals, Queens -Jane Dunn Against the backdrop of sixteenth-century England, Scotland, and France, Dunn paints portraits of a pair of protagonists whose formidable strengths were placed in relentless opposition. Protestant Elizabeth, the bastard daughter of Anne Boleyn, whose legitimacy had to be vouchsafed by legal means, glowed with executive ability and a visionary energy as bright as her red hair. Mary, the Catholic successor whom England’s rivals wished to see on the throne, was charming, feminine, and deeply persuasive. That two such women, queens in their own right, should have been contemporaries and neighbours sets in motion a joint biography of rare spark and page-turning power. The Pirate Queen: The Story of Grace O'Malley, Irish Pirate -Alan Gold Grace O'Malley commanded a dozen ships and the obedience of thousands of men. Her empire stretched from Connaught on the Irish coast to the cobalt aters of Africa. Through the daring of her piracy, Grace nearly bankrupted the English treasury-and her outright defiance brought embarrassment to Elizabeth I. Yet the lives of these two amazing women were inextricably intertwined-and their eventual meeting during the most brilliant and romantic era that Europe has ever known would shock the world.
