My random number generator picked Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister to read next. Well I'm not going to even bother with that right after Son of a Witch. It'll come up again later. Instead I've got Snow Falling on Cedars and I have no idea what to expect.

I couldn't take Son of a Witch anymore. It's just so cruel. I suspect I'd feel the same about Wicked were I read it now, but at least I seen to recall that feeling purposeful. SoaW has been feeling needless. Not to mention, I've been bored. The pacing is cold and heavy. It plods along, even when he tries to craft suspenseful situations. Taking place in two timelines doesn't help. Regardless, I'm out.

I got a box of random general fiction for $15 from a used book store! There's 38 books not including a few duplicates. Lots of books that movies got based on and Oprah's book club picks. It's very different from my usual sci-fi fantasy inclinations. I'm going to try to read (start at least) all of them! First up is Son of a Witch. At least I've already read Wicked. XD #randomreads

Well I found Heroine of the World... In my nightstand where I could potentially see it every night. Started Dust, by Elizabeth Bear in the meantime. But I'm gonna try to finish HotW for the sake of completeness. Betting I'm going to lose it at least one more time.

I swear I cannot keep track of this book. I have physically lost it so many times now. I actually marked it DNF after losing it for a week, only to find it again. It doesn't help that it's a meandery, slow, pointless, honestly kind of boring book.
