Book Meme - Day 25

I need to stop neglecting the 30 days on books meme. I could say that the Batman/Dresden Files crossover I posted yesterday ate my life... which would be true, since it made me angst for the past couple of weeks--with an overdose of cosmic angst at the last minute because, if there's something I'm not good at, it's choosing a title. So I sort of lost two hours last night just looking for one that wasn't "The Amazing Adventures of the Wacky Wizard and the Cape Crusader" (which yes, [personal profile] beyourwings, it's an awesome title, but it'd be more fun if Harry himself--or probably Thomas--were to drop it within the story, but I digress).

As I was saying regarding the meme: I'll re-take it one question at a time again. Hopefully, I'll manage this time. There are only five questions left, anyway.

Day 25 – Any five books from your “to be read” stack

That should be easy. :D/

- Memoria  de Dragón by Javier Negrete (That'd be Dragon Memory, I guess)

- A book about Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz by Margo Glantz (who recently won an award for her literary work in a Romance language)

- An anthology of short stories about the traditions surrounding the death of children in the Mexican countryside. This one has a story beyond both the morbidity and anthropological interest, and it has to do with how I learned about it and how I got my copy. For free. 8D I may tell it later after I read it.

- Luna cara de conejo by Teresa Valenzuela (Rabbit-faced Moon, again, would be my guess). A collection of theatrical plays for children. It's published by the Secretaría de Educación Pública (Mexico's Department of Public Education), so I'm being all judgemental about it and wary of the literary quality of this work. The SEP tends to favor stories with a strong moral they approve. Hey, I don't blame them, but their books also tend to be rather dull. So, yeah.

- Tales from the White Heart by Arthur C. Clarke.

Pero no sé, me viene random cuando ando aburrida '-'

[personal profile] beyourwings 2010-09-10 12:41 am (UTC)(link)


Oki <3 Yo decía por si lo habías dicho en broma para subir mis doodles como siempre |D;

Um, creo que Yuuri nada más porque justo estaba en duda de si conocía a Julia en esa época. Aunque me inclino a que no.

[personal profile] beyourwings 2010-09-10 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
Pero qué crees tú al respecto? :o

[personal profile] beyourwings 2010-09-10 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
De si la conocía ya o no o:

Also, ahora quiero que le pase algo a Tama y Kyouya con la supergoma '_'

[personal profile] beyourwings 2010-09-10 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
Es que ahí hay algo weird con la timeline. (O yo me hice bolas) Porque no me imagino a Conrad con Julia con esa actitud, pero la guerra a la que va con la que se.. suaviza es justo ya cuando Julia muere y. '_' Aunque Julia pudo irlo suavizando, claro. /se hace bolas sola

De la imagen del perrito y el gatito :x

[personal profile] beyourwings 2010-09-10 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
ES QUE NO ESTOY SEGURA D8 De lo de conocerla, porque te juro que no me suena que se portara así con ella. Para mí que de sólo verla empezó a calmarse de a pocos su personalidad '-'

PERO EN ELLOS PERSONAS /huye de Kyouya

[personal profile] beyourwings 2010-09-10 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
Es que es tan. raro que fuera tsun en su juventú xD; Quizá fue la realización de lo de su padre y su status, y la relación dificultosa con sus hermanos que finalmente creció amargado con la vida. Y justificaría porqué siempre tuve esa idea de 'no importa si muero' arraigada en la mente tanto tiempo.

Y con Julia, pues, en parte fue el 'love at first sight' que no procesó sino hasta después y a su personalidad tan fuerte a pesar de que toda su condición debería indicar lo contrario. Ella lo tameó de nuevo '_' O algo.

Estoy pensando demasiado, no? |DD;

TÚ QUÉ HABÍAS PENSADO xp

[personal profile] beyourwings 2010-09-10 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
Oh sí. De hecho que luego de la guerra y que Julia murió su tsunismo volvió con fuerza |'D

POR ESO QUIERE A SU BEBÉ ;A; BEBÉ ;A;

Oh y de la misma época del flashback del epi.

Es que esa es la reacción normal, pero yo pensé: ...imagina si les pasara eso en human form '-'

[personal profile] beyourwings 2010-09-10 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
Yay estamos en la misma página :D

Aunque claro, ahora con todo esto quiero rolear cuando la conoce. >.>

/Conrad se roba al bebé muajajaja

......................... h-hiciste que me atorara con eso x'D

[personal profile] beyourwings 2010-09-10 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
