Books, books, and more BOOKS!

Since I already used Lord of Misrule's cover, I'm using Midnight Alley since it was one of my favorites.


Helloo~. It's been awhile, well a week. Which is awhile in my book, and I'm back with a new update. So lets get to it!

Today I was concentrating on finishing up some stuff I've started. I originally planned to finish "Dawn of the New World," but I didn't get to that yet. I might to that later tonight, or tomorrow. I did however, sit down and finish Itazura Na Kiss.

The last two episodes were really cute. I'm not sure if I like their kid very much. XD She's a little brat. The entire series was cute. I probably won't bother to rewatch it, but it was enjoyable. Even though I never accepted how rude Irie was to Kotoko. Even though Kotoko could be extremely annoying most of the time.

Now I can concentrate more on Tales of the Abyss (the anime). I also watched a few more episodes of Gungrave with my friend. Wow. Just wow. The character development in Gungrave is so awesome, and the fight scenes are LOVE. This is about as violent as I can get in a series, anymore gore and I wouldn't be able to watch. Really, though, I don't know why more people haven't watched this series. It's great. After we finish Gungrave we plan on watching Cowboy Bebop together. I'm excited!

I also finished reading "Lord of Misrule" today. After I got by those few chapters that I was feeling bored with, I rediscovered why I love these books. I really enjoy the element that vampires ARE evil in these books. They aren't out to be your best friend, and they generally look at humans as property and food. Along with my favorite character, Myrnin, a vampire who is slowly going insane, (and isn't that far from it) and wasn't that normal to begin with. In the excerpt of the next book (Carpe Corpus) Myrnin is walking around in what she described as "Good will looking pants, with a long open jacket, flip flops, and a couple strands of Mardi Gras beads." That is just epic win. I love that character so much. He constantly betrays the heroes, yet somehow manages to keep Claire's (the heroine of the books) trust even when he openly tells her he's going to break it.

So yeah, "Lord of Misrule" was really cool. I still think my favorite will either be "Midnight Alley," which I believe is the one where Myrnin is introduced, and when Claire sells herself to Amelie and starts making her own decisions, or "Feast of Fools," where Myrnin is up to crazy shenanigans again.

Oh, and now I downloaded "City of Ashes," by Cassandra Clare. I read "City of Bones," back in June so I can't remember too much about the book. I just remember how much I hated the ending. The story was really good, though, and now that "City of Ashes" is on the kindle I downloaded it. Since "Carpe Corpus," doesn't come out to June 2nd this should hold me over till then.

Still reading "Lean Mean Thirteen," even though my mom keeps putting off reading more chapters trying to conserve it since she doesn't know what we'll do when we run out of Stephanie! I really want to read more though. She's been with Ranger a lot in this book too. Heeee~.

I've been reading a lot. *__*

That's all for now, lovies~!

Till next time.
