“there’s a truth about pain that most people never learn, unless they’re really unlucky. Or really long-lived, long enough to have felt almost every kind there is. Pain has a signature to it, a type, a song. The first time you experience a new one, it’s a bright, white-hot, cutting edge; or a searing, brain-twisting burn; or a shattering, soul-crushing thud; or any of the thousand other forms it takes to torment you. But the second time? Or the third? Or the fiftieth? No. It’s still terrible, still rage inducing, still debilitating, but it’s not the same shock as at first. You know this song, all its terrible highs and dismal lows; you can hum it with your eyes closed, because it’s just that familiar. Not like a friend—never that—but like an old enemy you’ve grown to know as well as to hate, his weapons and his limits. You know what he can do to you.”

Karen Chance, Shadow’s Bane

Serpentine is finally out

Working to make my way back to Serpentine since I read it all in one night and although I love it, its so hard not to wonder. But the great thing is that I have a backlog of books again. And I’m going from one to the next and even when it isn’t one of my primary loves that get waited, anticipated and speculated about (sorry for those I pester but I have a strong commitment not only to my favorite series but all the authors who create them) its still filled with snark and crazy literary s

arcasm and… Well, no spoilers, right?

Serpentine, Serpentine,Serpentine

I was not sure it would ever get here. I got turned down for being an advanced reader and I (probably) deserved it, given the fact that I haven’t been posting since I got sick. In addition, I haven’t been able to focus enough to spend time with some of my favorite characters and my backlog is extremely large, so no questions as to what I am missing or reading now. Some things have popped up and others have been buried along the way. But I have an embarrassment of riches. Truly adored the best man speech and think I needed some of the messages therein. That being said I took some pictures of my signed copy from Left Bank Books, carefully and bought the eversion right at midnight and I devoured it! Sorry for an spoilers I might inadvertantly slip in. I am trying not to! Can’t wait to get the next one which I know is silly but we had so long to wait this. Thank you so much for sharing your inner charaters snark and sarcasm included!

So I have been a little distracted of late but I gotta say a happy book birthday to…

Gena Showalter’s Lords of the Underworld

I know we are all wanting to see how this match-up tears through the pages as we all have an investment in the heroine!
