I was looking through old TTT topics on The Broke and the Bookish for inspiration one day, and I came across one about the top ten characters you'd want with you if you were stranded on a deserted island. First I started thinking things like, "Oh, I want people who could hunt and start fires and survive, maybe people who are knowledgeable enough to make some sort of communication device from the...
While in the woods one day, Skye gets lured in by goblins and cursed, fated to become one them, only the curse won't allow her to speak of it to anyone, not even to Grady, whom she accidentally pulls into the curse with her. The only other person who knows of the goblins is Kit, their human liaison and Grady's cousin. When Skye, Livy (her sister), Kit, and Grady get entangled in relationships and...
Dale and James have wronged a lot of people, but now one of them is back for revenge, and since he can't get to James, he's going after Dale and the people Dale cares about. But he's using a strange kind of magic that Dale has never encountered, and if he can't figure out how to counter it, he may have to give up and give the man what he...
Jonah is a shaman with an addiction to alcohol and debt owed to some very bad people, which is why he accepts a job to obtain a powerful runestone even though he knows the job is probably going to be bad news. But as he gets further entangled in this job and with the Carver brothers, things go from bad to worse, and he'll have to think on his feet if he wants to keep himself and those he cares...
I haven't posted one of these update posts since the 31st, so of course I have to say, it's a new year! And a new year has brought with it a new post title! Yep, I switched from "The Weekly Update" to "Life and Books" since these posts aren't weekly anymore. I'm trying out the new title, seeing how I like it. Anyway, I am having the most amazing start to my bookish year! (If only my real life...
Mitch is a reaper, which means he's going to be immortal and look the age of 24 for the next couple hundred years until his aging kicks back in, and he's vowed not to fall in love until then because he can't bear to watch men he loves grow old and die. But then Nate shows up in town with a soul attached to him, slips past Mitch's emotional defenses, and complicates...
I'm having a bookish problem. And the problem is that I feel like I rarely ever get to actually discuss specific books. See, I read a book, I review the book, I get some comments (mostly from people who haven't read the book), I read some other reviews on Goodreads, maybe I mention or recommend the book in other types of posts... and that's it. There's no actual discussion going on in there! And...
Having escaped the Underworld, Clio and Lyre's next step is to get to the Overworld in order to convince Bastion that the stolen KLOC spell is too dangerous to use. But first they'll have to find someone who can bring them to the Overworld, which won't be easy considering all the reapers and assassins after them, including...

Meanwhile, the few remaining vampires gather to learn the story of the twins and to figure out what to...
Ok, so, I'm using the word "goals," but these aren't things I'm forcing myself to do out of some obligatory feeling; these are things I want to do, things that will make me happy if I do them. But I like to have these "goals" written down as a reminder since it's easy to be led astray by all the shinies out there! So, well, here they are...
