"I do so want to understand, Nynaeve. I would hate to think I'm going to kick you the length of the river for nothing."

Nynaeve's eyebrows drew down. Elayne really was becoming violent, spending so much time with Aviendha. Someone ought to slap some sense into that pair!

Irony alert!!!

Everyone knew that a man did not achieve his proper wits, such as they were, until ten years later than a woman.

Hey, I thought this book was supposed to be fantasy, not true to life!

You have been kissed by a vampire and that is life changing. You cannot keep company with our kind and hope to remain unscathed.
Once marked, forever marked.

Melika is a phenomenal writer! There have been so many scary moments that have me ready to jump out of my seat!

Reading Dr. Nosferatu's book had been no grand revelation. I had chortled profusely at his assertion that breathing on a vampire after you had ingested garlic would strike it dead.

In fairness, the theory is sound! Garlic breath can knock out just about anyone!

"The games. It is the only fair way to decide."
"She may not win."
"I pray you're right. But we both know you're wrong."

Wonder Woman vs everyone else? Bet against everyone else!

The watcher smiled crookedly behind his mask. That explained what kept Graendal from killing Sammael. Sammael did not know how truly he spoke. Small increases in chaos could be every bit as important as large.

Who is this mysterious watcher, getting closer and closer to the Forsaken?! :o

"Some fought to the bitter end, kicking and screaming. Some wept and begged, offering gold. Still others wept from relief, meek as lambs, thankful to be done with it. They all weep at the end. There is nothing left for them but tears at the end."

Whoa! Cadsuane is tougher than this cat!

I'm reading Volumes 1 and 2 together, as apparently the two storylines were published simultaneously and tie into each other. Hopefully it will all make sense to me, I get confused easily! That's why I could never play baseball... too confusing!

I've been looking forward to this, as I was a big fan of Greg Rucka's first writing stint on "Wonder Woman". This has me more exciting to be reading than these cats are!

So far my impression of the DC Rebirth titles has been "good, but not great". This series has been getting a lot of great buzz, though, so hopefully this book will not leave me feeling...

Apparently GoodReads is acting buggy again and most people aren't seeing likes and comments on their reviews today. Hopefully they'll have it all fixed soon, but even if GR isn't telling you this right now, I want you all to know...

Hoping this is good, but The Queen of comics only gave this two stars, so I'm a little nervous...


Okay, maybe a LOT nervous!

It's read-a-thon week, so I'm catching up on the DC Rebirth titles! Will this rejuvenate my love of superhero comics?


Or remind me why I stopped reading them after All Star Batman...

Freedom. Madelaine had attained it through her violin, her music. She was pouring her very spirit into the notes, letting the bow travel across the strings and give wings to her soul.

Madelaine's violin playing sounds so graceful! When I tried to play the violin, it went more like this...

"Do as you're told!" she snapped, channeling to slam him back against the stones. His head bounced yet surely that could do him no damage.

If only I could blame my clumsiness on magic!

A golden pen, what else would a queen have? He studied what he wrote, biting the end of the pen before realizing he was scoring the soft gold. Maybe the queen would not notice?

I would never have such an expensive pen. There's pen thieves everywhere!

I woke up with a pounding headache and feeling crummy, then I logged onto GoodReads and saw someone posted the sweetest message on my wall, and now I'm feeling all better! This is why I love GoodReads, you all are the best friends anyone could have! :)

Happy Weekend, everybody!

In honor of the weekend, I wanted to share a pic from the concert of a true party animal to wish you all unlimited fun and adventure this weekend:

Yes, I brought only six-packs of Sprite and Diet Coke to a concert...do I know how to party or what?!? XD

No reading done yesterday, because I went to see Iron Maiden!



^ This was taken from my phone and not the greatest quality, but it's Iron Maiden, and that's all that matters!

"Fresh young blood, that's what you need! Oh, sorry. Poor wording, eh?"
"Slightly."
"Well, vampires be damned, which I think they already are, but that's neither here nor there!"

Melika predicted I would love Roberta, she wasn't wrong! Eric's Aunt Robbie is sassier than some cats I know! XD

The swans could be peaceful as long as you kept at least ten miles away from them. Then before one realized one had traveled into enemy territory, the next sight one saw was a feathered gargoyle, its wings outstretched running up the bank and honking for all it was worth as it bore down on its prey.

"Great Master, I saw Mat Cauthon. You know I would never betray-"
"You? Fool! You haven't the stomach. Are you certain it was Cauthon you saw?"
"Yes, Great Master. I can find him again."

Uh-oh, Mat! The Darkfriends and now a Forsaken know you're here? Looks like your little vacation is over!

Print books vs. eBooks - the eternal struggle!

eBook advantage - saves us from this


Print book advantage - no eBook can replicate that new book smell


Me, I love both types!

So while everyone else is trying to save the world, Mat has spent the last month visiting every tavern he can. No surprise there!

Auditions to play Mat in the upcoming TV series have begun

"Bradburry...I thought you'd learned your lesson."
"You know I was always a slow learner," I said, continuing the banter as I reached for the sword.

Eric Bradburry's idea of banter is to mock himself? I don't think that comeback was quite the slam dunk you thought it was, Eric! XD

Up in one of the balconies, I saw a mannequin perched cross-legged on the ledge. He resembled Pierrot the French Clown. As I walked through, I couldn't suppress the feeling that the clown's eyes were following me, watching me with an interest I found frightening.

Not suspicious at all!

I slinked off, careful not to draw attention to myself, which was rather hard considering the sword.

HA HA! Way to be inconspicuous, Eric!

Sometimes Siuan's mare labored, though she might just have been picking up her rider's anxiety. No amount of practice could make Siuan anything but a terrible rider, nearly throwing her arms around the mare's neck, almost falling from the saddle.

Siuan, the very picture of grace!

After a few years of life kicking my butt, I finally got back into my creative writing! I'll be posting chapters to Wattpad as I complete them. It feels great to be writing again! :D


Happy Sunday, everyone!

"If you know something, some way to get me out of this..."
"I know a way..." she said quietly. I waited for what seemed like an eternity. unable to breathe, holding out hope that she had concocted some master plan to help me escape.
"Run."

Not the most complex plan, but effective nonetheless!
