Blindness (Jose Saramago) - Audio - 12 hours 32 minutes
While the story starts strong, it can't hold it
The longer it goes on the deeper it slides into wanna-be-philosophy, and in that makes the Doctors Wife and all the other female characters into uber!saints
4/10
Manns genug, Frau zu sein (Vera Freyberg) - 255 pages - 4/10
Hotel Babylon (Imogen Edwards-Johns) - Audio - 8 hours 11 minutes - 7/10

The Front Runner (Patricia Nell Warren) - 320 pages
Now this is a "classic" that really was worth reading
10/10
Sindustry Vol.2 (Anthology) - stopped after 120 pages
There is nothing against a good story where a hooker is taken off the street by the right person coming along, but have story after story after story where one good fuck gets people of the streets/away from drugs/turning from thief to good guy... now that is the sign of a badly edited anthology
2/10

My gift:
Save me - Mark/Scott
Progress not Perfection
I screamed when I saw that it was this request that got fulfilled, since I have grown to love the movie even more since the Yuletide sign-ups!
(and then I cursed a few times, because the exchange slows the servers down so much and I had to wait 30 seconds until I could read it)

Dec. 24th, 2009 03:27 pmHave I mentioned in the last few years how much I dislike Christmas?
*bites fingernails*
Dec. 21st, 2009 07:57 pmIt's still 7 hours till the Yuletide Deadline ... I should not worry yet, that non of my requested fandoms have a story uploaded, right?
... and even if I don't get a story as a gift for myself, there will still be over a 1000 other stories I might like, right?

So you think you can dance
Dec. 17th, 2009 01:52 pmSo it wasn't quite like the American Idol finale (even if they did have Adam Lambert there)
( and the winner is )
( and the winner is )
So you think you can dance
Dec. 16th, 2009 05:48 pmThe final round of performances did not blow me away
I think I preferred the former final format with 4 dancers dancing with each other + solos, rather then having 9 couple routines
Prediction: It's down to Jakob (who's talent is obvious) or Kathryn (who got some extra hype from the judges)

Fic reccing!
Dec. 15th, 2009 10:08 am A Cup Of Kindness Yet (Snape/Lupin) - While I'm not a big fan of Non-magic AUs, this had lots of internal monologues about pricks, and wanking, and abuse of butter, so yes, it was a squee and glee read
