I Don't Believe In A Room With That Many Stienbeck Fans

[redbrunja]

So, for my editing and publishing class we had to write a letter about our personal reading and writing tastes.... and while a lot of people mentioned the trashy books they loved as children (seriously, I think loving horrible books is part of growing up), each one was sure to list the books they liked now, all of which were the kind of books you would never be embarrassed about to be caught reading in public (with one bonus diss at fanfic, just for kicks).

Which, given my genre tastes, made me really sad. Seriously, am I the only person who didn't grow into reading classy books?

This week's fannish5 :

Name your five favorite fictional kids.

5.) Bailey, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.

4.) Wednesday Addams, The Addams Family.

3.) The Listener, Legend of the Seeker.

2.) Scout Finch, To Kill A Mockingbird.

1.) The Archive. (Ivy! How are you so awesome, little Miss Badass?)

Lady spies? That sounds intriguing.

Unfortunately, I reorganized my backlog today and the bookcase with the romance novels is doubleshelved, and those are on the back row, so i can't look and give you details (though I'm sure Andrea Pickens has a website) but they're basically, as I understand it, a trilogy of Regency Historicals about female orphans raised to be spies. I've only read one other book by Pickens, which was written under the pseudonym Andrea DaRif, but I liked it.

Yeah, it sounds worth a try. I'm put it on my wishlist.
