Hi bookworm_sub! I haven't been on in a while - holidays and other stuff. I'm reading several books at once. One I found in the library: Chrysalis; Maria Sibylla Merian and the Secrets of Metamorphosis by Kim Todd. A true story about a lady who traveled from Amsterdam to South America to study metamorphosis. In 1699, no less! A woman waay ahead of her time. Fascinating. Also plodding thru Reality Dysfunction Part 1: Emergence. On the recommendation of a friend who loved it. I'm not feeling it so much - usually love sifi - but out of respect I am going to continue. I'm halfway already, anyhow! Two more in my pile are both Christmas books (yeah, I like to strrrretch the season out - maybe a bit too much!). They are A War of Gifts by Orson Scott Card (he almost never disappoints and I wanted to see what he'd do with a Christmas tale), and An Idiot Girl's Christmas by Laurie Notaro ( hilarious). I had a real dry spell for a while, and couldn't find a good book. And the holidays approached with attendant parties and festivities and such. At last, in the new year I think I've found some goodies! I'm looking forward to finding out what good stuff you have found, too.
