Of ficathons and books

[selenak]

Had a frightfully busy last two days, which is how I feel behind on the book meme. On the bright side, being on my feet all of Saturday meant I didn't gnaw on my fingers waiting for the ssrconfidential collection to be opened. ;) Which it now is! 42 new Agent Carter stories (or vids, or icons) await you here! Enjoy. I'm certainly planning to. The story I received as a gift was this one:



A New Arrangement (3539 words) by Anonymous
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Agent Carter (TV)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Ana Jarvis/Edwin Jarvis, Edwin Jarvis & Howard Stark, Ana Jarvis & Howard Stark
Characters: Ana Jarvis, Edwin Jarvis, Howard Stark
Additional Tags: Pre-Canon, World War II, Canon Jewish Character, Female Jewish Character, Marriage
Summary:

Edwin and Ana love each other, and they're grateful to Mr. Stark. But there are still a lot of details to figure out in their new life.

It's a lovely take on the early days of these three living together, and I'm pleased as punch about my present. On to the book meme:

7. Forgot I owned it

Christopher Clark: The Sleepwalkers. This is no reflection on the book, which I still haven't read - I got it as a Christmas present some years ago and forgot to take it with me when I went back to Munich from Bamberg after the New Year. Then, my father borrowed it and forgot to put it back in my room. And then it fell out of my mind that I had it by the next time I visited my hometown. I was reminded only during a recent visit.

8. Have more than one copy.

A lot of classics which I needed during my university days, from Ovid to Feuchtwanger, whom I wrote my thesis about. I have cheap paperback editions full of markers and broken spines, and I have more solid editions to read for pleasure.
