TDF Pamela
The Discriminating Fangirl, who is more likely to answer to Pamela if you shout it at her, is the proud owner of an MA in English, focusing on children's/young adult literature and popular culture. She's now not using that degree to work as a project manager for a mobile app company. She reads voraciously, loves geeky movies and tv shows, reads comic books as long as she's not pissed off at Marvel, and when she's procrastinating, she enjoys playing video games. She can be contacted at t.d.fangirl @ gmail.com and followed on Twitter @tdfangirl.

The Fickle Reader, or What The Hell Should I Read Next?!
I’ve got a ton of stuff that I should be reading… stuff for class, stuff like composition pedagogy and Greek philosophy and The Silmarillion, but I want something else. I want some brain candy, something that doesn’t require me to come at it armed with a highlighter and post-it notes. And of course, I can’t figure out what the hell I want to read.
I’m a moody reader anyway. I admire people who can organize their to-read stacks and actually follow a reading plan. I might intend to do that, but my mood always intrudes. I might intend to read Linnea Sinclair’s Gabriel’s Ghost, because I’d been looking for that book for ages and I finally have it, but once I start, I find that I’m just not in the mood for SF romance at the moment. I keep picking up China Miéville’s Perdido Street Station, but I can’t seem to get past the first chapter. I’m just not in the mood for it.
So what the heck should I read? At the moment, I’m thinking about picking up Glen Cook’s The Garrett Files. My boyfriend gave me a copy and insists that I read it, as it’s awesome and he wants to discuss it with me. We’ll see if this fickle fangirl can see it through.
