[livejournal.com profile] jenah and her son are visiting and Cole and Hailey are kinda driving me crazy. Arrgh! Get along, already! The fighting between those two has reached seriously epic proportions!

Whatever! I'm ignoring it for the moment.

I finished two of my five books last night.
Book #12 - Bone Shop by T.A. Pratt - This is the same author who gave us the outstanding The Strange Adventures of Rangergirl. This is a prequel to his Marla Mason series (of which I have read none of) and I really liked it. I like his style of writing, it's crisp and readable. I like Marla, she's can be kinda bitchy and a bit of a hot-head but she has good reason to be. I would not be adverse to reading others in the series.

-and-

Book #13 - Frostbite (Vampire Academy #2) by Richelle Mead - I'm not sure if anyone has realized this yet but I'm not a crier. I rarely cry at movies. I have maybe two books total that make me weepy. That said, this book brought tears to my eyes. There's a scene at the end that felt so damn real to me that I felt like my heart had been ripped out of my chest and stomped on. It was AWESOME! This books follows the events of Vampire Academy, pitting Rose and her compatriots against more of the evil Strigoi in their attempts to wipe out the Moroi. Rose has some close calls and Dmitri is hot. As always. I've already started the next book in the series.

Fun things that I witnessed today ... Some girl being led out in handcuffs at Walmart. AWESOME!!!! She looked pissed about it, too. Dude. Don't shoplift. That's all I'm sayin'.

I think I wrote around 1500 words last night on the next chapter of my story. That's good for me. Really good.

Time to get back to my movie.
Later.

I finished another book ...
Book #14 - The Titan's Curse (Percy Jackson & the Olympians #3) by Rick Riordan - Percy has another quest to complete, another prophecy to navigate and another friend to save. All in a days work for the son of the Sea God. Another one that I was very pleased with. It's an amusing, fast read and book 4 will be somewhere in my near future.

Cole needs to go to bed, like, NOW. The kid is driving me crazy. I'm pretty sure he didn't get enough sleep last night and now he's just bugging the shit out of me.

Goodnight.
