Sunday Snippet: Justified

Big cold snap witha little bit of snow this week in weather. I'm getting much better about makingsure I have layers on even if it's just a quick trip outside with the doggos. Ialso haven't had a major cold yet this season and I hope I didn't just jinxthat fact.

Semibusy work weekwith finishing a proofread and working on two copy edits. I'm hoping to havesome projects to work on over the holiday break. I'm not great at having a weekor two off then trying to gear back up into work mode.

Fairly decent weekof viewing. I'm trying to decide what new show to add to my usual slate ofviewing fare. I'm leaning toward Beyond Paradise, but I'm not completelysure yet.

Caught anotherepisode of Mr. and Mrs. Murder. I hadn't seen much if any of thisepisode and I enjoyed it. I think I have a handful of episodes left before it'llbe time to switch to another show.

Watched another episodeof London Kills and tensions are running high. The case ended up beingvery interesting and Viv and Rob are pushing the line by investigating David. Lookingforward to more of this one.

Enjoyed anotherepisode of Death in Paradise. Part one of a two-part arc and the lead-into the show's one hundredth episode. Loved seeing Camille at the end and can'twait to watch the next episode. I've seen almost all of it and loved it.

Finished up seasontwo of Elementary. I still think Mycroft is an ass even if I get why hedid things the way he did. I'm a little on the fence about where Sherlock and Joanleft things. I'll be interested to see where they pick up with season three.

Started thetwo-part series finale of The Batman. I don't remember if I actuallywatched this before or not but it was a good episode. I think I might move onto Batman Beyond after this.

Also watched anotherepisode Classic Rugrats. I hadn't seen either of the vignettes andenjoyed both.

That's pretty muchit for the life update this week. Tonight's post is from Justified, anovella that brings a couple with unique skills together to face a common enemy.

Here's the miniblurb:

Electra Cage and Nix Naught shouldn't be together. She'sfirmly on the side of law and order and he's on whatever side pays the most.They justify their liaison when they discover a common enemy—one they'll needtheir unique skill sets to destroy.

And a preview snippet…

Damn, she noticed everything. Maybetoo much. No one else would've clocked to the fact Nix didn't actually use akey to enter the building. Her uncanny and spooky accurate ability to missnothing piqued his curiosity. Definitely more to Electra than a smokin' hotbody, steel-trap mind, and sexual energy.Nix wanted to discover what elsemade her stand out.And why Walton wanted her out ofcommission.

Nix led her to the middle of theopen space where skylights let in rays from the moon. Electra scanned the room,her gaze missing nothing.She glanced back at him. "Isyour friend home?"Nix's lips quirked. "At themoment, he's on a sabbatical somewhere no one else can get to." Kincaiddidn't always reside on this plane of existence, something only a few wereprivy to.Nix appreciated being one of theselect group. The pagan master would approve of Nix's use of the sanctuary asneutral ground. Especially if he used it to find answers.He settled down onto a pile ofcushions. "Please, make yourself comfortable." He debated over how tostart and how much to tell her.Electra gracefully removed herjacket and sank down across from him.Before he said anything, he wantedone simple point made clear. "Why are we here?"Electra frowned. "Because youdidn't want to talk in the bar."Nix shot her a look. Playing obtusedidn't look good on her.She sighed. "We're herebecause I'm close to discovering your secret."Nix prompted her for more."And?"Electra kicked her shoes off andplanted her feet in his lap, very close to his crotch. "Anything you tellme stays between you and me and won't be used against you." She paused amoment. "Unless you've committed murder. All bets are off if you've killedanyone."Nix nodded. "Fair enough. ButI'm not a hitman." Even if Walton wanted Nix to cross that line.And Nix's gut said the fucker wouldwant exactly that.Electra waved a hand."Fine. You're a boy scout. Now satisfy my curiosity aboutthis…" Her foot slid upward, coming to rest on his dick.Nix popped the button on his pants."It might be easier to show you…"

I'm having so muchfun with this story. Electra and Nix will end up making a great team in or outof bed.

That's it for thisweek.

Cheers!
