Unless I can somehow remember what novels I read between UnChristian and the stuff I listed in the last post, this is all going to be fic-related. Really, it's a shame the library doesn't keep records of these kinds of things. It'd make my life so much easier ;)

I don't know if I ever mentioned this one, but it's worth it for the unique pairing alone: Common Respect by mgsmurf. It's a Firefly fanfic with...a Simon/Zoe pairing. Yes, that's right...Simon/Zoe, or Zoe/Simon depending on how you want to work it. It's not a full on pairing, but they are the featured "couple." Heck...just go read it. You may have never thought it was possible, you may have never thought about it at all, but it's worth the read.

As I mentioned at some point previously, I had been reading a book called UnChristian: What a New Generation Really Thinks About Christianity...and Why It Matters by David Kinnaman and Gabe Lyons. I borrowed it from the library. I want to buy it.

I've just started reading Red Seas Under Red Skies by Scott Lynch (the same guy who brought me the awesome The Lies of Locke Lamorra). Once again I'm struck by the cussing (f-bombs like whoa), but they're thieves. Down on their luck thieves trying to take over a not-so-great gang at this point in the story. Cussing is, unfortunately, to be expected. Yet I soldier on. My brain/mouth filter's going to need more paying attention to than usual, though.

If I hadn't mentioned it, I've also read erinm_4600's California Sun. Admittedly I only managed it because Erin gave it to me in one doc, but what joy! Luckily Erin crosslinks like nobody's business so if, like me, you've missed a story or two you can find them from this link.

And there are other stories I've flipped over since my last "what I'm reading" post, but I can't think of them at the moment. It'll come to me. Eventually. ;)
