... I currently work in Software QA, a.k.a. Tester. And I have plans to "switch sides" and do coding, so I guess I'm kinda already there?

God I love reading
When my brain works
I am mainly beta-reading chapters for a person I follow on Twitter who is writing a novel. It's a feminist-themed neo-noir set in Toronto, and I am loving every second of it.
I was reading Wyrd Sisters, but sadly I got a bit cold on it and abandoned it. I've still got my place marked, and am visiting my mother this weekend so plan on burning through it.
I recently burned through what I think is the 19th Gaunt's Ghosts novel, The Warmaster. I kinda went back to it for completion's sake, expecting it to be a bit of a light snore of a read, and was kinda aghast to find that Dan Abnett has grown substantially as a writer since I last read one of these books (years back). It has fucking feminism in it. The word 'patriarchal' is used. I was low-key astonished. It was great fun to read - still light, but more absorbing than I expected. It's nice to spend time with these characters again. One of them - Major Rawne - I was a big fan of as a kid and used to use his name as an online handle in a few places.

I just started reading "The Unspoken Name". It's about a young orc girl, destined to be sacrificed to her god on her fourteenth birthday. The unexpected arrival of a wizard at her priory provides her with a choice: follow through with act she has been raised her entire life to fulfill and die alone in the dark, or forsake her god and strike out on a new life as a thief, spy, and assassin in the service of a powerful mage. But gods remember, and if you live long enough all debts come due.

The Drifter's Wheel
I'm not sure if some of it counts as being purple prose or just very descriptive, but other than tht it's not too bad so far.
