Do you know what it feels like to discover a short that you've never read in one of your all time favorite series?




This is a delicious short on the first time Kate and Saiman meet, and of course all the shenanigans that ensues. Despite his uber creep factor throughout the series, he has remained one of my favorite characters so this was especially enjoyable.

Absolutely loved it, all the stars!

Because they are the best, it's available on their blog.


You are welcome.

I spent the whole time making this face, just waiting for something to happen. It's all happening at once and is over and soon as it starts. Meh. Not a retelling so much as behind the scenes of an old story we know well.

I'm attracted to bold book titles/covers, I have always said I appreciate a book that blasts it's personality on full volume. However, the idea of reading this was entirely more satisfying than actually reading it. With a title of The Princess & the Penis one might expect a little raunch, a little humor, and a little fairy tale, but this was the weakest aspects of these three.

One word reaction:
Bored

Upswing? It's short!

2014 Reading Challenge, Failures and Goals

Merp.

It is December 27th and the new year will ring itself brightly into existence in exactly four days. According to the taunting helpful tracker on GoodReads I have read 87 of the 100 books I set out to conquer, leaving me 4 days to read and review 13 things. Turns out I have no fucks to give about this. Oh well. I'm not a huge fan of failure, and I'm certainly not all about setting goals just to abandon them in the last leg of the race, but I'm going to cut myself some slack. Boldly look into the future and all that jazz. Or something.

New Years Goals:

1. Make more realistic goals.
2. Complete my series of The 5 Books That Made Me Fall In Love With Reading (#3-#5 in the works)
3. Read 1 paper book a month. Seriously. I'm addicted to my Kindle.
4. Complete my top 10 favorite reads of 2014 blog post before the end of January. Lulz. 
5. Read 1 smut novel a month. Because.
6. Um… stop drinking coffee at 4pm so that I'll be up all night to read. 

Hahaha. OK so #6 is a stretch but that's cool cause I'm the boss of me.

Alright, I need to go work on this Golden Son review… cause shit is late going up.

xoxoxo
