deborahjrossTo play along, just answer the following three (3) questions…
• What are you currently reading?
• What did you recently finish reading?
• What do you think you’ll read next?
Here are my answers:
Currently reading fiction: Cinder by Marissa Meyer. YA retelling of you-guessed-it, but she's a cyborg in a dystopic future Japanese empire, and the Queen of the Moon has designs on the Prince but has the only cure to the plague, oh and Cinder's best human friend is her stepsister who contracts aforementioned plague... marvelous fun. Also Bernard Cornwell, Sharpe's Enemy - Sean Bean made me do it.
Currently reading nonfiction: Raphael Patai The Hebrew Goddess, not the best introduction if you're unfamiliar with Jewish theology and Jewish feminist thought, but just right for where I am, having just finished ReVisions: Seeing Torah Through A Feminist Lens, by Rabbi Elyse Goldstein.

Recently finished: J. M. Frey, Triptych (reviewed elsewhere); Marianne de Pierres, Glitter Rose - eeriely evocative linked shorts by an Australian writer; Gail Carrigan, Timeless; Jack McDevitt, Firebird.
Next up: Franny Billingsley, Chime (YA); Laura Anne Gilman, Blood From Stone; Carol Berg, The Soul Mirror; Dalai Lama, Ethics for the New Millennium; Donald B. Kraybill, The Riddle of Amish Culture.
