Imagine, if you will, that Rodney McKay was a disowned prince and John Shepard was a woman.

This is just my way of reccing The Last Watch by J. S. Dewes.

today I'm not reading fic. which is completely off-script for me. I can't remember the last time I willingly spent a day without fanfiction. (unwillingly, sure, for doc appts and stuff, but otherwise? nope!)

instead, I'm starting on a book series today. \o/ Fablehaven, to be exact, since I've heard good stuff about it and I am secretly 8 years old. Or 8-12, as the series says it's for. (or, if you read other reviews, 8+, which I technically am!)

ALSO, today is my youngest son's 12th birthday. Gah, I wish I could keep him right here, at this stage in his life, full of wonder and not quite jaded yet. My older son is past this wonderful stage and doesn't even talk to me anymore, but Zach doesn't hate me yet. I hope he never does. I don't know if that hope is empty and misplaced, but I'm going to hold on to him as long as I can. And then... idk.

hold on to your babies for as long as you can, my friends.

(and now I'm crying so I'll just go back to reading and stuff)

so the absolute DAY I sign up for Goodreads, I find out Amazon bought them? WEIRD. and offputting.

I finished The Fault in Our Stars and it was awesome. I am no good at reviews, I have found.

Tonight I'm going to work on a fic. :D I'm smiling because the outline is awesome. :D

reading actual books

2013-03-28T15:28:39Z

It's been so long since I've read an actual book. A fiction book. That is not fanfiction. It's weird. But now I am reading ebooks! I can actually read ebooks on my computer and I have the ebook reader fixed so that there's space between paragraphs so my eyes don't go haywire.

So I'm reading The Fault In Our Stars and I read half of it last night and I plan on finishing it today. And then I'm going to read something else. Another book!

The last book I attempted to read was Master and Commander, which was good but for some reason I had trouble sticking with it.

The last book I completed was Lord of the Flies, which I read while the internet was off a few months back.

The next book I plan on reading is Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children OR Catching Fire. I read The Hunger Games last year and really liked it but I never read the rest of the trilogy.

The funny thing is that I have a million actual books in my room. I pretty much was collecting them for awhile, buying books I wanted to read, but never actually got around to reading. Maybe I'll put them all up on paperbackswap or something. But that requires mailing them. I don't want to mail them. I just want make a little room in my room. This ebook thing is so much less messy.

I now have a Goodreads account (or a new one, since I did nothing with the old one) and I plan on actually using it. Add me as a friend? Especially if you write reviews.

w00t! After three weeks of being depressed, my up has finally come! Now I just have to cram as much stuff into what time I have while I'm energized and motivated as I can.

I finally went and saw Star Trek today with Adam. Adam is in love with me, or at least he thinks he is. It's all very uncomfortable because I just want to be friends. It kind of sucks for him but it's not that easy for me, either.

I also bought 4 new Terry Pratchett books at the bookstore. Well, not new, but definitely new to me as I haven't read him before this past week. I was dragging my heels, I know.

SOOOO many things to do this weekend. Yay!
