Book Goodness

Another quiet day. Since I now have gas in my car, I could actually get out and drive around. I made my way to a local bookstore, and after browsing for a while, I found some graphic novels to put on hold, including.....{insert drumroll}........ the first two volumes of Antia Blake Guilty Pleasures by Laurell K Hamilton!
YAYYYYY!!!!!
I'll admit, I am a LK Hamilton fan. She has been on of my favorite indulgences since my senior year of high school. I'm so glad they're doing comics of her works. Granted, I am not under any dilusions, her work is certainly not outstanding, it is hit or miss at best, but I love the characters, and theres a familiarity I get when reading her novels that I don't get from other books. And yes, like many paranormal novels these days, there is sex involved, but I love the fact that there is no manipulation or lies about it. The sex is just sex, and not full of prose usually found in dimestore romance trash, and niether is the sex confused with love (unless Anita happens be with someone she truely cares about). I have a whole soapbox rant about people who confuse sex for love. But that is for another time. I do hope that in the future, Hamilton will write more about Anita's necromancy, or more police cases. The last book, The Harlequin, had a plot the revolved entirely around vampire politics, which gets old after a while.

I eagarly await my paycheck so I can pick them up and spend all day tomorrow in wonderful nerdy goodness.

I logged onto blogger today and found out my entire list of blogs had disappeared, probably because I changed the blogs address to dreamingtangerine. So I spent an hour searching through google and blogspot trying to locate my favorite blogs, as well as dicovering a few new ones. I also added blogs involving comics (because I am a part time nerd), and transgender folks. I am not transgendered, but I am a huge advocate for transexual rights. The rest of my blogs pretty much revolve around Buddhism, feminisim, philosophy or politics. Check them out and enjoy.
