Belated Booklogging

Over the holidays, I've been reading a couple of things, some recommended and others I've found. I already talked about Octavian Nothing which is a book I recommend though its not easy.
The other two books that each kept me up for a night since I couldn't put them down were the first Keys to the Kingdom by Garth Nix and I really wish that the library had his other stuff, because I love his style.
Also I read Fairest though I can't recall the author's full name now but I found it a fun and good take on not just the Sleeping Beauty myth but how powerful perceptions of beauty are. Its one I could see myself picking up and rereading when I'm having a moment of gah, body issues.
And in the spirit of it being almost the New Year, a few simple resolutions. What's hard for me is that what I really want is a job and my own place but there's only so much of that I can control. So my resolutions are shake every connection I have, apply and keep trying along with just move more and keep letting my friends know how grateful I am for them.
