booknookHello, hello! booknook is (again) tossing its hat in the ring for 3weeks4dreamwidth in the form of a friending meme :D
This is the same meme as last year, as I do not have the brain-space to make a new one, but who knows! You're answers might have changed! You might not have seen the newest entries! You might have completely forgotten to check it out at all, even though you're the admin and you really should have. So let's do this again! <3

I Recently Finished Reading: Melissa Scott's Astreiant series. It's not the last one I finished, but it's one of the latest ones and notable in the sense that I inhaled all six parts of it in a row.
A Book I Want to Reread: To echo another poster upthread, the Captive Prince trilogy. I only read it for the first time last year. You know how sometimes you come across a book that's like tailor-made to scratch your id? That was Captive Prince for me.
Some Published Titles From My To Be Read List:
Fire from Heaven by Mary Renault. To my shame, I've only ever read Renault's contemporary fiction.
Genjin tarina by Murasaki Shikibu. This is the first complete Finnish translation of Genji monogatari. The translation is by the legendary Kai Nieminen, expanding on an earlier one by Martti Turunen, and it was finally published a few days ago.
The Husky and His White Cat Shizun by Rou Bao Bu Chi Rou, vol. 6 onwards. I've been letting these ones accumulate.
A Book Not-Yet-Published I'm Excited About: Queen Demon by Martha Wells. Can't wait for more of Kai!
Related Book News I've Got My Eye On: (adaptations etc.) Is there life beyond books? The evidence is inconclusive.
My All-Time Favorite Book(s): Persuasion by Jane Austen.
My Favorite Book Genre(s): Right now it's danmei.
A Book I Recommend in My Favorite Genre(s): Stars of Chaos by priest. It's one of my favourites, and there's a completed, official translation into English available.
A Book I Don't Recommend in My Favorite Genre(s): Dawning by Ice. I managed to finish the first volume, but it made my eyes bleed.
A Genre I'm Interested in Trying Out: Literary fiction, which has never been my kind of genre before. Also, classic scifi, which I've barely read any of.
Link to My Latest Book Review: In which I hate on J.M. Coetzee's Disgrace.
Link to My Reading Log: Have a link to my books tag on DW instead.
Books/Genres I'm Interested in Discussing/Chatting About: Most likely ones to engage my interest: danmei, M/M fiction in general, fantasy, historical fiction, manga. But really, I just like talking about books.
