oh no mark watney!
First things first, a huge thank you to thebaconfat for the really wonderful card, and also to tainry for the card and present. You guys are so awesome, thank you both so much. ♥!
Secondly, I got a Kindle for Christmas, yeee. GIVE ME ALL OF YOUR BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS. Well, maybe not all. But still. I would love some recs. Sci-fi, fantasy, young adult stuff and general fiction are usually pretty good. Please no romance, though a story with romance is okay, just not as the main genre. Anything that is not completely heteronormative would also be really welcome.
Also I recently finished reading The Martian, by Andy Weir, which I grabbed because the premise sounded interesting (unlucky dude gets stranded on Mars when they have to abort their mission) and because it's .99 on Amazon, and damn it I just got this awesome new toy and I must fill it with ALL THE BOOKS, and actually it was totally awesome and I really enjoyed it. Also I spent the last chapter or so being afraid to turn the page and reading with my hands over my eyes because OH NO OH NO. Basically, completely recommended. (Fair warning, there are occasionally typod as well as a couple times when you can tell the author changed reworked a sentence and accidentally left in a word.)
BUT YEAH RECS? Pretty please? My manager gave the whole department her nasty disease so I am stuck in bed being miserable and incapable of sleep. Gimme something to doooo. And by "do" I mean "read" obviously.
