1) I completely blame [livejournal.com profile] kuwdora for the fact that while I was in Florida, I had a dream where I was married to Sylar from Heroes. He totally tried to eat my brains anyway. Luckily my superpower was running really fast?

2) I read all three of the Twilight books (turns out I read a lot when there's no internet) and - how do I say this? - I really, really hated the last two books. Enough that I spent last night marking every one-star review on Amazon as "helpful". That's how much. Luckily, I seem to enjoy hating a book almost as much as loving a book, so it works out. If you like the entire series, we can still be friends, let's just never speak of the first half of Book 3. Incidentally, if you want to read these but find yourself suffering? Try reading against the text. Read as horror, these books are massively, creepily effective, and the characterizations come through much stronger. Eeee yays for critical reading.

3) I have to start watching Little Mosque on the Praries again, because SPOILER hot chaste Muslim romance! I love me some hot chaste religious romance. I also love the Amaar/Rayyan plotline. The fridge scene! And the way that he communicates later why that scene was important, and why he feels bad about it! Amaar, ilu.

4) I am actually caught up on Torchwood, but will hold off on dispensing thoughts until tonight. Eeep. I say again. Eep.

Haha back in the day when you could say "I doubt many of you have heard of this book."

We have now.

See, the cheesetastic florid writing in the first one kept me so very entertained that I went out and bought the second one, but no! Someone reined in her prose, and then I was stuck with the plotline. Which was 100% pining.

If you want the full quality snarking, I'm sapote3 over at goodreads.com . (Though OMG mine is SRS BZNS and I just read yours and laughed for ten minutes. Thank you muchly for the link.)

Ok, so several people have been telling me lately that I need to get on Goodreads, so you have prompted me to Do It, and so now I am there too. *badgers* Friend me!

Friended! Now go on and put my book totals to shame - I never post a new one unless I want to write a full review, so I have a pathetically low bookcount.
