What did you just finish:
Book 215 for the year, The Center of Winter by Marya Hornbacher. It's her only novel and it is strange and beautiful. It's about a family coping when the father kills himself. I've read her other books, her memoirs about eating disorders and mental illness. She puts hers words down like ice, sharp and glassy and brilliant.

What will you read next:
I haven't decided. I picked up a couple things - another Julian Fellowes novel, Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell, the next couple volumes of the Flowers of Evil manga which I was ridiculously excited to see on the shelf. Probably the manga. Or I'm just going to sit in the bath tub and read the latest issue of Vanity Fair.

Oh, what Julian Fellowes? I've read all his books.

I have Fangirl but I had a really hard time getting into it, which disappointed me. Maybe I'll try again soon.

I just read Past Imperfect and loved it so much. So I ordered Snobs through the library.

Oh, yay! They're both really good. Past Imperfect is much more tender-hearted, and Snobs is wildly funny. I've read them both a couple of times.
