That's inconvenient ...

I have spent the evening trying to write fic, or some of my novel, or even reviews of the Alan Bradley and Naomi Novik novels I have been loving lately, and I have tragically failed at all of the above. Which leads me to conclude I may have run out of brain.

I'm sure I've just put it down somewhere close. Might go and look in the laundry ...

Temeraire emerges as [...] quite the bolshevik

OK, that's how one sells books! Excuse me, which way to the bolshevik dragons, plz? :)

You make Novak's books sound great. *pensive*

You can probably grab the first few at least at the library, as I have come to the party quite late!

And Temeraire is not even the most fun of all the dragons ... but I will leave that for you to discover.

I have just discovered the author's website - with chapter excerpts - and am morbidly fascinated by all the decks slippery with blood, etc, etc.

Is it me or Napoleonic Wars-AUs are becoming increasingly popular these days? I really enjoyed Susanna Clarke, and now it appears that Naomi Novik is also immensely fascinating. But poor Buonaparte! All those wizards and dragons must be seriously damaging his mental health...
