Now that *that's* over...

I finished The Iron Daughter tonight. It's like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I don't know why I didn't catch on to Meghan's immaturity during The Iron King. I guess I was too enthralled with finding out about the world Julie Kagawa created. But it was very apparent in Iron Daughter. That and when did Ash and Meghan fall in love with each other? When they were fighting for their lives against the Iron fey? I'm sorry to break it to y'all, but that's an adrenaline rush. Not. Love. *headdesk* And of course there was a "love triangle". *glare* I'm so sick of love triangles that I refuse to read anymore books that have them until such a time that I can stomach them again.

On to happier news, I received my giveaway win on Saturday! I now have so many books on my 'TBR' shelf that my Star Wars action figures have been momentarily relocated to the 'Books To Be Given Away/Resold' shelf. ...you read that right.

Last night I was talked into (i.e. guilted into) playing Halo Reach with the boyfriend. I've previously stated to him on several occasions that I do not like Xbox's controller and I certainly don't like playing Halo. I still stand by that statement after over an hour playing Halo Reach. Give me a Sony game station any day over Xbox. I'll even take a Nintendo game station.

That's all I've got. Until next time... mwah.

I won a book!

That's my big news of the week. I won a copy of Shades of Milk and Honey by Mary Kowel from Cecelia Bedelia, who is now my best friend even though she doesn't know it yet. (Not in a stalkerish way, I swear.) I just genuinely love people who give me free books. I enter about ten giveaways a week, it seems, but I never expect to win one.

Also, I finally finished The Angel Experiment by James Patterson. It's the first of the Maximum Ride series. It was.. alright. Definitely intended for children, though. I'm not going to read the rest of the books since I have far too many others waiting on my bookshelf.

I've been working on something new. A short story from the Mammoth Book of Paranormal Romance kind of inspired me to do something a little different. I don't know if it'll go anywhere, but when the mood strikes to write, I have to go with it. Otherwise I might lose it altogether and then the lynch mob of RG readers will find me. *grimace* (I'm working on it, I promise! ...don't hurt me.)

Until next time, stay classy blog readers.
