So cute and funny! I love the characters and I'm addicted to it.

Yes, I'm currently reading two different webcomics about vampires ... so sue me.

This manhwa is hilarious.

His best bet was to befriend her. Earn her trust. Maybe he could soften her by offering up useless intel of his own. Women liked chatting. Yammering on and on, constantly trying to get males to "share their feelings." Kelvin gave himself an imaginary pat on the back. Aye. Good plan.

Izel threw her hands up. "Look, Man-Bear-Pig! You aren't my father or my keeper. You have no claim to me—"
"It's Man-Pig-Pookah," he cut in. "Man-Bear-Pookah is my cousin."

Did this book just make a South Park reference ... ?

"You donna wanna stab me, lass." He tilted his head. "In fact, I think you wanna do something else entirely to me." His voice was laced with such potent seduction it made her knees weak.
Stupid knees.

Hehehe.

He vowed that the first thing he'd do upon returning to Kerr territory was a lot of women.

Ha. Nice.

Man, it's been a looooong time since I've read some pnr. Here goes nothing!

I'm really enjoying this one. She writes in a nice fluid and easy to read way and I'm going to have to check out her other series now too.

This reminds me of Angelfall, but with vampires.

Reading with Galla and Lethal!

Welp, I now have over 6000 books shelved. I think I have a problem ...

My currently reading shelf now feels ... bereft. What should I fill it up with? Hmm ...

OMG OMG OMG

I'M DONE

I knew the cliffhanger was coming and I think it's obvious I don't give a shit about these books, so it doesn't bother me. I feel bad for the fans of this series who had to wait though. It's such a cheap ploy to get people to buy the next book. Speaking of cliffs ... I really wish Mac had gone flying off that one and caved her head in on the nearest rock. THAT would've been an ending.

I'd never been a Girl Scout, couldn't start a fire with sticks, had no container to boil water in even if I could, and was disgusted to realize I was still, in many ways, remarkably useless.

FINALLY. Something Mac and I can agree on.

She began with the mess that was my tousled black hair sticking out from under my" hat," went nearly ballistic over the tight leather pants I was wearing, made short, scathing work of my butchered nails, and by the time she got around to the automatic weapon, I had to tune her out.

YES, BECAUSE WHEN PEOPLE ARE HELD HOSTAGE THEY JUDGE THEIR SAVIOR'S APPEARANCE. HOW DARE YOU NOT PAINT YOUR NAILS.

I would later wonder if someone had walked by and stuck it there while I sipped ignorantly away, eavesdropping on Barrons. Maybe peered in through the tinted glass and looked at me. Smirked or smothered a villainous laugh. I would wonder if it had been Fiona who'd put it there. Would hate her, knowing she would have stood there watching me, relishing my pain.

You go to hell, Future Mac. You go to hell and you die.

I have one book on my currently reading shelf right now. ONE. And if you've been my friend for a while now, you know which one it is. I've decided that I can't start anything new until I finish that damn book. I. WILL. FINISH. IT.

Woot! Finished another book! (This one wasn't that great though, unfortunately.)

Ha, I checked this out again from the library today and found my bookmark still in my spot : \

Not a bad book but not a great one either. It had some interesting ideas and the writing is well done but it just didn't have enough charm or that special somethin' for me to love it. I'll be reading the next book sometime, though not soon.

Pretty much a 3.5 but I'm rounding up to 4 because the story and science were solidly executed. Another good book! For those of you keeping track at home, that's five good books in a row! Let's see if I can keep this up now ...

I'll admit, I'm not as enraptured with this as I was when I first started. I don't dislike it but I feel like it's dragging at this point.

This book is a trip and I'll admit I didn't figure things out at all, I needed the explanation just as much as Ephraim did. The villain is brutal though! The body count in this one is pretty high and nobody is safe. Can't wait to see how it ends ...

Wow. This book was a pleasant surprise. It's middle grade epic fantasy and I enjoyed every minute of it, I even found myself moved at times. Action-packed, suspenseful, and even heartwarming at times, this is an excellent start for this series.

"It is possible, of course," said Halt quietly, "to want to do two different things at the same time. Then it just becomes a choice of knowing which one you want most."

"You read all those fantasy books, but you didn't actually believe in magic?" Ephraim asked.
"I read to escape the real world. I never thought magic could be real, no matter how much I wanted some in my own life."

"What the hell, Ephraim?" she said.
"Huh?"
She showed the laptop to him, close to tears. "My MacBook. My beautiful MacBook. What have you done?"
The laptop was still silver, but it was clearly a PC.
"Oh no," Ephraim said.
"If this is a joke, it isn't funny, Ephraim. Give me my Mac, and I won't kill you."

Pfft. Whoops.

Ephraim returned to the library and settled himself at a computer terminal. He typed search terms into the library catalog database: "magic quarter," "wishes," "coin flip," "Puerto Rico."
Zero hits.

Ha! I was worried there for a second, I really was. How often have characters in YA recently done this and come up with a solution immediately? I love that he gets no help from Almighty Google.
