A stupid headache knocked me out all afternoon. More like a migraine, and I'm not really used to that, so I got really cranky. Took me one pill of ketoprofen and a good hour lying down in a dark room with my right arm over my eyes to feel better. Now I feel like I ran a marathon, but at least there's no more pain, and my head feels so light and empty. Good.
day one • a song
day two • a picture
day three • a book/ebook/fanficday four • a website
day five • a youtube clip
So, instead of a book I recommend let's go with a book I didn't like at all. I'm currently reading
Fallen by
Lauren Kate. I picked it up because I needed some light reading for when I have to wait in line at my doctor's, or at the post office, but it turned out to be even lighter than I thought. Too much purple prose, too little content. It's hundreds of pages that are supposed to be character development in the author's mind, but it's just beating around the bush. Boring. I'm actually rooting for the evil shadows to eat the protagonist's face. Bit not good, but that would speed up the story a little.
Instead, I have a recommendation on the FanFic front. It's
Lacuna by
colored_ink. The fandom is
Sherlock, the pairing Sherlock/John, and I'm not going to say anything else because I don't want to spoil it. It's great, moving, gripping, the characters are complex and realistic, and it's just the right side of angsty without making you want to throw your laptop out of a window. ^^
