Not really anything special. They're about a girl who ends up living with a dragon as its apprentice, and starts trying to mend old issues between humans and dragons.
Not too far along at the moment... I probably won't try to publish it, but I might, depending on how it turns out at the end.
A month or two ago, I read Shabanu, Daughter of the Wind, by Suzanne Fisher Staples. It was a pretty good read, I think, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone younger that fourteen or so.
I'm sort of skimming Once Upon a Dream, by Liz Braswell. Reread Matilda, by Roald Dahl.
Royal Ranger is the next set of books in John Flanagan's Ranger's Apprentice book series.
I, personally, can't wait until the next Dragonwatch book... ah, well. Just have to wait....
I love what I call "the old encyclopedia smell." We have an encyclopedia set on one of the bookshelves, and they just smell really... pleasant. Not quite musty, but they have that "old book" smell....
That sounds very silly.
Allergies sound pretty nasty... I don't have any other than the universal pollen and dust ones (are those even allergies? It's really more just one's nose getting stuffed up from the tiny particles), and I'm glad for it, frankly....
That's a good series... I like how, at the end -- oops, never mind, spoilers for those who haven't finished it. Sorry!

Haven't been to the library in a while... I've been reading fics and that's about it. Well, that and nutrition books.
I might have asked this already, but has anyone read Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit, by Nahoko Uehashi?
Ah, okay. I don't know if my library has anything like that, and even if it did, I don't have a phone to access it from (apps are for phones only, right?).
It sounds interesting, though!
Sounds interesting... I wonder if my library has it (my library, my main source of books that I haven't read over and over again!). What's the author's name?
So... what I'm reading now? Red Madness, by Gail Jarrow. It's a book about pellagra (a disease caused by niacin deficiency) and it focuses on the pellagra outbreak in America back in the early 1900s... so, not fiction! And also pretty nasty sometimes... not for kids.
So, yep! A book about a...
