Getting ready...

For a few things...lets see...


Halloween is tomorrow and I still haven't gotten my fangs or fake blood, or the black face crayon so I can draw my whiskers for my day costume. I have about an hour and forty-five minutes worth of music on my NaNo playlist, but I'm thinking I may need to add more songs...I don't know, it's a whole month of listening to the same songs, I may get tired of them, and they may get desensitized. We'll see...I finished a book last night (Death Perception by Victoria Laurie) you can read my review here if you like.


I think that's about it, I also want to make a quick comment about my glasses. I've had them for about 3 years now and I've worn them hundreds of times. But for some reason everyone has decided to compliment me on them these last couple of weeks. What's up with that? Did you just notice them, because that's just crazy, what were you looking at when you people talked to me?

Up in Smoke by Katie MacAlister

I just wanted to take a few minutes of my time and write about Up in Smoke by Katie MacAlister. It's the second book in her Silver Dragon series (which is I guess stems from the Aisling Grey/Green Dragon series). It came out about 2 weeks ago, and I finished reading it a few days ago, and I want to burst! It left me in suspense, and I don't know how long till the next part comes out.

Anyway, if you haven't read this series (or the Aisling Grey) you really should. It's got your paranormals (Dragons, Guardians, Demons, Imps, Doppelgangers, etc.), it's got romance (really yummy sex scenes too, hehe). The books are just great, I also like the way she communicates with the readers. She writes in first person, and talks to us, not as if she were telling a story that already happened, but more as if we were there, and she's just making comments about what's going on, and what she's thinking.

Here's a little bit about Up in Smoke (I wont spoil anything I promise)

It continues about 6 months after May (a doppelganger and a wyvern's mate to Gabriel, wyvern of the silver dragons) sacrifices herself for Gabriel and the sept, and ends up stuck in Abaddon becoming a consort to the demon she was bound to when she was first created. So May and Gabriel have to figure out how to get her out of Abaddon without releasing the demon to the mortal world. Of course in between all of this there's a whole bunch of drama involving dragon politics. With the Black dragon trying to make their sept official again, and fighting with the Silver dragons (because there's some history between both septs, which I wont talk about), the Blue dragons are in the middle of a civil war with eachother, the leader of the Red dragons is stuck somewhere in Abaddon (I won't say how she got there, but I will say it happened in the Aisling Grey series), and so on and so forth. It sounds a bit overwhelming, but trust me, it's all laid out neatly.

So come on folks, hop to it, buy the book, read it. Support this great author, who wants to her book to do well.
