1) I completely blame 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.

Do you HAVE the second two? I want to punish my brain!

YES I OWN THEM WHY GOD WHY
But they're, um, heavily annotated. In spots. And if you like them we will have to be diplomatic!

I don't really expect to. Even people I know who like those books dislike the second one. Is the vomit because of how perfect and beautiful their love of all loves is? I think we'll be in agreement.

I've been seeing squee about those damn Twilight books on my flist for a while now. Apparently they're being turned into a movie? or a show? I have no idea what the heck they're about, but your reaction does not sound like I'll enjoy them.

I love me some hot chaste religious romance.

Yay! I'm quite a few episodes behind (just watched the curling episode), but this makes me happy. I gotta catch up!

Ah ha ha ha ha! You must have missed my post (http://celtic-tigress.livejournal.com/9306.html) on the first one when I read it over last summer. I do agree with you that they can be really creepy as horror, but as the bastardized fantasy/romance hybrid the author keeps trying to force her writing into they FAIL. Of course, then I went on to read the second one and am waiting for my sister to visit and bring me the third one. I don't know what is the matter with me, wanting to read that kind of tripe....

However, the fact that vampires don't come out in daylight because they are TOO SPARKLY is too hilarious for words. Just, *hands*. How did she come up with that shit?

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.)

The first one - is kind of worth reading like badfic is worth reading.

The last two are excellent as horror, but that's not how the author means it. Basically, read them if you want to weep for the souls of teenage girls everywhere.

This is where I should *not* confess that I'm probably going to see the movie when it comes out. I think it has Cedric Diggory in it?

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.
