Art: 09. Busy. (Minerva's Life)

Title: Busy.
Rating: G
Credits: =cloaks's  Vintage Texture Pack V, ~redheadstock's light brushes, ~Eterea86's beautiful corner brushes.
Characters: cat!Minerva and family.
Summary: Even though she loved them, Minerva had no time to stay at home very often because teaching at Hogwarts was a thoroughly demanding job. 

Author's Notes:  A/N: From 2010. Headcanon again, I'm afraid - I like the thought that Hogwarts is less monastic than Harry's view has us believe, but I also think that working at a boarding school would put a strain on relationships and families. In my headcanon the father looked after Minerva's child most of the time due to that fact.

Snow?!

Even though the wild geese haven't all left yet, there's frost covering the ground already and temperatures have dropped below zero.

It's only November. I don't like this at all.

Book challenge

I did not write entries for the books I read this year, so this'll have to be from memory and it'll be very incomplete.

( 59 books I can remember reading this year )

It's become pretty obvious that I don't have as many long train rides anymore as I used to.

Next on the reading list: 

- Boy2Girl  by Terence Blacker- a story of a boy who cross-dresses as a prank. Sounds horrid and is on the reading list for our 6th graders.
- Ich hätte Nein sagen können by Annika Thor - a book about mobbing, also on the reading list for our 6th graders.
- Notes on a Scandal by Zoe Heller,
- Ambereye, by Gill McNight. Here's hoping my fears about the quality lesbian werewolf fiction are unfounded.
- Wit'ch Star by James Clemens. Found this at a sale at the local library. Not sure about this because it's the sixths part of a six-part-series and I only have this one, but might be worth dipping into.
- Die vollkommene Ehe - Eine Studie über ihre Physiologie und Technik by Hendrik van de Velde. Surprisingly open German sex ed from the 1920ies.
- The Female Eunuch by Germaine Greer if I ever have the patience.
- Middlemarch, by George Eliot. This'll be the third time I start that novel.
