here there be spoilers...

I don't think it was the last Black Dagger Brotherhood novel. Because...
1) Vicious found out he has a sister and she threatened to kill their mother, the scribe virgin.
2) in a previous novel Vicious foresaw that he would call a human male brother
3) Quinn and Blay have tons of sexual tension and even though it looks like Quinn is letting Blay go I don't think they're done yet!

I feel like there should be a meaningful title here....

Tomorrow I begin the last (I think) book in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. I've been putting it off and putting it off just because I don't want the series to end, J.R. Ward is an amazing writer! But sooner or later it must happen and I don't know when my next day off will be, so tomorrow I might be saying goodbye to the Brotherhood :(
In other news, I want to write a novel for Harlequin Romance! Don't role your eyes! It's mostly to see if I can do it.... and it's turning out to be much harder than one would think! I've written short stories before, but they were only 12 pages or so long. The minimum word count for a Harlequin novel is something like 50,000! That's about 200 pages and that's the manuscript!
But the novel might have to wait until after my cousin's wedding!!! I'm a bridesmaid and I went to get my dress today but there were a couple of snafus... 1) the sash of the dress, which is long, got caught on the garment rack and had a tear in it... so it will take at least 10 days to get that fixed and the wedding is in 3 weeks.
2) Between my undergarment and the tightness of the dress I can't breathe very well, I'm afraid I'll have a panic attack or faint during the ceremony. I've decided to just wear it for a couple of hours at a time until the wedding, just to stretch it out and also to get used to wearing such a tight dress. At least it's really purty!
And that's all the news for today, I'll write back soon with my comments on Lover Mine!!

wow... so that 5am thing?

Not as bad as I thought. This week sees me getting up extra early tues-sat. I have to be at work at 7 which means a 5am wake up call. The good thing is that I get off at 2 and the time passes really quickly.
And I have done so much reading! It feels so delicious! I have polished off one of my reading stacks so far. I am having trouble keeping myself from ordering on Amazon though, my goal is to get through two stacks before ordering any more... We'll see how long that lasts.
Oh! and I checked Suzanne Brockman's website and saw that another Troubleshooter's novel is coming out next January! I'm so excited, she is such an amazing writer and so nice!
hm... I've started going to Scottish country dancing classes, they are so much fun! and really a workout. I love the music and when everyone knows the dance it is so amazing to watch, I think they all look like ripples of water.
And besides reading I have other exciting plans for the summer... but more on that later, a 5 am wake up means early to bed.
Until next time!
