Twitter, Tea, and Gifts

   I've been working on figuring out how to work Twitter the last two days... I seem to slowly converting to social networking things of the sort... When I finally sign up for Facebook, then I'll admit defeat, hehe. So, anyway, between working out Twitter, dealing with family issues, and working on Arcane's birthday gift, I'm beginning to think there isn't enough tea in the world to keep me going.

... My next step will be to turn to coffee... And Gods know we don't want that to happen.

   I'm determined to meet my goal of eighteen short stories for Arcane's gift. I failed to finish the story I was writing for her last birthday (and I will finish it eventually; it's a full length novel) so I'm going to finish this one. But.... I'm going through my English Breakfast tea like crazy... :<

   Until next time,

- Siddy

Naomi Novik - Throne of Jade

Naomi Novik has done it again, weaving a fantastic tale of trials, troubles, and challenges for Captain Laurence and Temeraire! I voraciously read through this book, often deciding to read a chapter before bed and ending up reading three or four chapters instead, staying up until the early hours of the morning just to see what happened next. I could not put it down! I recommend this book to anyone that adores dragons and fantasy. Don't read it without reading the first in the Temeraire series, though.

D.J. MacHale - "Morpheus Road: The Light"

I've often heard that writing in first person is a difficult art to become good at, but D.J. MacHale nailed it. I was up until sunrise reading this book, constantly wondering what would happen next and if Marshall Seaver would escape alive. I could not stop reading this book.

This is the first MacHale book I've read. My sister read the Pendragon series and swears by them and when she started reading the Pendragon series she wasn't a big reader. We thank MacHale for turning her into a reader. He is her absolute favorite author and he has been added to my list of favorites thanks to the beautiful, thrilling, and sometimes frightening-edge-of-your-seat work of The Light.

I usually don't cry in books, but I felt such a profound connection to the character that I was afraid when they were afraid, excited when they were excited, sad when they were sad, and I was right there with them when they were desperately hoping to the very end that-- well, better not ruin the story.

You will not regret picking this book up. I will definitely return to read it over and over again. Just one warning; if you scare easily, don't read it before bed!
