rkoldI'd like some advice on two fronts, and neither requires and interest in dolls or anime. *shock*
Lately, I've been reading at the gym, and I just finished the two books given to me by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
muscatlove and yanchamonkey The Nanny Diaries and Good Omens. So, I'm looking for some book recommendations. I don't want anything dry or depressing, so nothing involving peak oil or politics. The main characters should be engaging, because I find if I dislike or hate the main characters I can't easily get through something. (i.e. Catcher in the Rye where I kept wanting Holden Caulfield to get hit by a bus.)
My other request is somewhat gym related as well. In 2005, I bought a unique H.Eaven purse in Harajuku. It's lovely in that it holds more than it should, always gets comments, is non-leather, and has a perfect strap. However, it is also big and bulky and I can't stand just carrying it to the gym. So I'm looking for a new small purse. It just needs to hold an ipod, and a few other things. I prefer cloth, I like straps that go around your torso, cause I find that is the easiest way to keep purses on. I know a lot of people love etsy, but I really don't know who is good and when I tried to find "purses" I got a lot of hits and some were for laptop bags ~.~ I'd like something cute and different with not too much white. (which is why I am not using my berry purse)
Any help or suggestions with either query would be most appreciated.

Date: 2007-02-08 11:13 pm (UTC)As for books, I think you might like Carol Berg's Transformation series...it's very slashy and the main character is a bit of a snarky uke. It's a fantasy series, a little more serious than Nightrunner but I really enjoyed it. And Stephanie Meyer's Twilight is good for young adult vampire angst.
