Birthday month! How well I remember it. Soon it will be birthday month again. Well…in several months.
Stats:
Books Read: 8
Books Bought: 1 (a copy of my book which I sold to Kristen)
Books from Library: 4
Books Loaned/Given: 5
Money spent (approximately): Well, $10, but then Kris paid me back.
Favorite Book: Lips Touch: Three Times by Laini Taylor. So good! It’s 3 novellas by Taylor and the writing is excellent. Really great story-telling. Mostly kind of fairy-tales retold. I wrote down several quotes from this one in my book.
Other Worthies: Pleasure of a Dark Prince by Kresley Cole. Ha ha ha. I love her books. Not so much the last one which I just bought from B&N and then returned to them to get my money back. It just wasn’t worth owning.
Least Favorite Books: Eh. Probably Steampunk by Katie McAllister or Fool Moon by Jim Butcher. But neither was awful, just not great.
Quote: “Kizzy wanted to be a woman who would dive off the prow of a sailboat in to the sea, who would fall back in a tangle of sheets, laughing, and could dance a tango, lazily stroke a leopard with her bare foot, freeze an enemy’s blood with her eyes, make promises she couldn’t possible keep, and then shift the world to keep them. She wanted to make love on a balcony, ruin someone, trade in esoteric knowledge, watch strangers as coolly as a cat. She wanted to be inscrutable, have a drink named after her, a love song written for her, and a handsome adventurer’s small airplane, champagne-christened Kizzy, which would vanish one day in a windstorm in Arabia so that she would have to mount a rescue operation involving camels, and wear an indigo veil against the stinging sand, just like the nomads.” From Goblin Fruit in Lips Touch: Three Times by Laini Taylor
