(no subject)

I probably shouldn't be doing this meme when I still have so many books from this year to write up, but it's too tempting to resist. So:

Pick a date below and give me a topic — it can be anything, from fandom-related to book-related to life-related to history-related to whatever you want.

They will probably be brief, or not, depending on the subject. Also, if you pick something that for whatever reason I don't want to talk about, I'll let you know so you pick something else!


I'm keeping December 1st in here for the sake of completion, but, uh, since that is today and I'm about to spend four hours in a car, better jump on that one fast if you really want it, is all I'm saying.
