Actually...

Something good and unencumbered with iffy stuff (see post below). My reading plan for this weekend.

I'm finishing up a re-read of _The Princess Bride_. I have to say... it's probably one of the best movie adaptations. I love the book, but I might just love the movie more. The casting was close to perfection. It's telling to me that... I don't know which I encountered first, the book or the movie, and I can usually remember with disappointing clarity how badly a book was butchered, or alternately, the wonder of finding out that wow, this story is incredible, how the eff was the movies so bad? (*)

Next up, once I'm done with Westley and Buttercup (but is one ever really done with them?) it's onto John Scalzi's _Starter Villain_. I've already peeked at the first ten pages or so and I just know it's going to be good.

My audiobook -if I can get time to listen, my mom interrupts me constantly- is Genevieve Gornichec's _The Weaver and the Witch Queen_. So far, it's sooo good. I loved her previous book, _The Witch's Heart_ and I highly recommend it (after JS Dewes's trainwreck imo with _Rubicon_ I'll wait until I'm done to rec The Weaver, LOL).

So there. Good books. And with nowhere to go, plenty of time to read them.

(*)Which is why I will never EVER forgive whomever it was that allowed my kids to watch that piece of crap that was The Seeker, an absolutely dreadful adaptation of one of my favorite fantasy series. The kids have all refused to read the books as soon as they figured out the link, and those are some of the best books ever. Which reminds me. I am so totally buying the new editions, the covers are beautiful, even if I haven't bought a physical book in... longer than I care to think.
