Okay. SOMEONE left an LJ post for my-eyes-only yesterday, and now I can't find the post, and I'm starting to doubt who left it. (Curse you, LJ for making me doubt my own sanity!)

These are in no particular order, of course:

Wuthering Heights: Emily Bronte
Pride and Prejudice: Jane Austen
Good Omens: Neil Gaiman/Terry Pratchett
Dracula: Bram Stoker
Melmoth the Wanderer: Charles Maturin
Gaudy Night: Dorothy Sayers
Anne of Green Gables: Lucy Maud Montgomery
Othello: William Shakespeare (a play, but still a big favorite)
Little Women: Louisa May Alcott
The Importance of Being Earnest: Oscar Wilde (yeah, I know -- another play, but I lurves it)

...Wow, that's a cracktastic collection.

I tried one of the sesame cookies last night and have decided to toss the lot of them. I don't know what I did, but the cookies turned out to be too dense, and I'm too annoyed with myself to try another batch. We'll see. I'm guessing the problem is that I kneaded the dough too much/not enough. Today I'll finish up the rest of the baking, and will probably get things mailed out by the end of the week. Tora-kun is a definite fan of the biscotti and has requested I make more that won't be sent out. Today I'm moving on to the recipes I'm more familiar/comfortable with, and depending on my mood after the fact, I may try the sesame cookies again, after begging Mom's advice.

I also have to start on my

yuletide story. Mrr. I know once I start it, it'll be a quick write, because I'm really happy with what I got assigned. It's just STARTING the blasted thing that's being a pain.

everstar3, I'd like to run a few preliminary ideas by you. (The request I'm trying to fulfilll is... kind of up your alley. And I mean that in the best way possible.)
