Re: Whats everyone reading now or read lately
Just got done with Endless Knight by Kresley Cole. It's the second book in a series she came out with for teens and I'm now a little iffy on it. Think it's a pretty good series so far, but I'm wondering if it should really be geared toward teens. The sex scenes are dumbed down from her adult books considerably.. but... it just seems to really push the bubble for what's acceptable in a teen series... and (SPOILER) it ended with the main character on the verge of being blackmailed into sex by a millennium old male who feels entitled to her because he had married her in one of her past lives and she'd tried to kill him afterward... that really broke my bubble for saying this is teen appropriate. But maybe I'm just a little too... conservative... or something.We are what we are. Nothing more, nothing less. There is good and evil among every kind of people. It's the evil among us who rule now. -Anne Bishop, Daughter of the Blood
I wondered if he could ever understand that it was a blessing, not a sin, to be graced with more than one love.
It could be complicated; of course it could be complicated. And it opened one up to the possibility of more pain and loss.
Still, it was a blessing I would never relinquish. Love, genuine love, was always a cause for joy.

Re: Whats everyone reading now or read lately
Finished the audio series of Laura Caxton: Vampire hunter series. Man, didn't want to read the last one. Didn't want it to end. By read, I mean listen.
Finished up in 3 days *did a power marathon of listening at night hours on end to Alden Bell's 'The reapers are the angels'. A great zombie book not really about zombies. Beautiful wording.
Now to find another to power listen to!Satan is my spirit animal

Hey! I read that!Originally posted by anubisa View Post
You should also watch the movie Enemy at the Gates, if you get a chance. It's about a famous Russian hero, a sniper at the siege of Stalingrad.Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.

The "Secret Histories" novels by Simon R Green. I'm entertained so far.life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness. Like a star shining in the black eternity of space.
Yoda: Dark Rendezvous
"But those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun." Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."
John Rowlands, The Grey King by Susan Cooper
"You come from the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve", said Aslan. "And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth; be content."
Aslan, Prince Caspian by CS Lewis
