End of advertisement!

It was my sisters birthday party today and I was practically annoyed to death by little 11 year olds screaming

Yay for a new thread!

So what exactly is Fever about?...I've never heard of it before.

[s e r e n i t y]

Summery for the first book:

MacKayla Lane’s life is good. She has great friends, a decent job, and a car that breaks down only every other week or so. In other words, she’s your perfectly ordinary twenty-first-century woman. Or so she thinks…until something extraordinary happens. When her sister is murdered, leaving a single clue to her death–a cryptic message on Mac’s cell phone–Mac journeys to Ireland in search of answers. The quest to find her sister’s killer draws her into a shadowy realm where nothing is as it seems, where good and evil wear the same treacherously seductive mask. She is soon faced with an even greater challenge: staying alive long enough to learn how to handle a power she had no idea she possessed–a gift that allows her to see beyond the world of man, into the dangerous realm of the Fae…. As Mac delves deeper into the mystery of her sister’s death, her every move is shadowed by the dark, mysterious Jericho, a man with no past and only mockery for a future. As she begins to close in on the truth, the ruthless Vlane–an alpha Fae who makes sex an addiction for human women–closes in on her. And as the boundary between worlds begins to crumble, Mac’s true mission becomes clear: find the elusive Sinsar Dubh before someone else claims the all-powerful Dark Book–because whoever gets to it first holds nothing less than complete control of the very fabric of both worlds in their hands. . . .

New thread! Thanks for the summary, it actually sounds quite interesting! I'll put it on my to-read list. But I first have to read so many books for uni and then Vampire Diaries.

Btw, I survived my first week back at uni. Things are gonna be so stressful!

[avasadie]

Wow thanks for the summary Sheida! It does sound like a pretty interesting book, might have to check it out.

Anja first weeks back are always the worst because you see all the work that is ahead of you and it can be so overwhelming! Hang in there, you'll get through it!

[street serenade]

Aww, hope you find the time to take a few breathers, Anja, don't get too stressed.

I totally need to catch up on my reading. I still need to finish VA and I have a whole other stack I want to get to after. Plus I have a stack of CDs people have given to me since, like 2006, that I've yet to listen to and I really want to get to them soon.

Speaking of music, I have to recommend something. Keep in mind though that I'm a bit of a music elitist (), which means if I'm gushing about this album, it's even floored me and I'm nearly always negative about nearly every artist.
Kathleen Edwards' Asking For Flowers album from 2008. She's an alternative country artist. Now there's popular country(Garth Brooks, Tim McGraw, etc) and then there's alternative country(Alison Krause, Ryan Adams, Lucinda Williams), which is serious, credible music. Anyhow Asking for Flowers, her third album, is a heartbreaking masterpiece. It's not that often that I'll say that about all of a person's albums, but each one of hers is worthy. They all feel gritty and rural, and I think they just hit you in the gut, no matter who you are or where your from if you've ever felt an ache, these songs will matter. But anyway, if you dig, say Ryan Adams or Tom Petty, this woman will freaking floor you.

Tsk, tsk, tsk. Breaks my heart to know that you young-ins ain't be learnin' about music from the olden times. *taps chin thoughtfully* You might know Petty from a cameo he did in Kevin Costner's The Postman and you might know Ryan Adams as Mandy Moore's new husband.

I can almost promise you that they've both had their songs performed on AI, though.

[s e r e n i t y]

I umm havent seen the Postman *ducks* and I ... know Mandy Moore Ive seen her movies, didnt know she was married though

That last part I might be able to relate to more, where they done this season? Are you guys watching this season? Can I make persuade you nicely to watch this season? You just gotta see Adam

[street serenade]

I only watch AI during auditions for comedy purposes. I don't really get the rest of the show when the actual performances start up. I don't know why that is, but I tend to tune out once people are selected.

[s e r e n i t y]

I love the auditions, they're absoloutely hilarious, but I love the actual group too, especially this year, they all just seem so close and they have some really interesting and talented singers ... like ADAM

[street serenade]

Maybe I'll tune in to see what's going on this season

Does anyone got any plans this weekend?

...or as that guy who did that really really incredible Oasis-Wonderwall cover.

Sorry, Sheida, I don't think you can get me to watch AI. I'm already head over heels with German Idol, I don't need anymore distraction! I can never watch the auditions, I always get so embarassed for people that I have to turn off the sound.

[avasadie]

Ryan Adams is Mandy Moore's husband!? Wow I did not know that at all! I really adore Ryan Adams' music, while I find Mandy Moore a bit eh. I mean I am sure she is a nice enough person I have just never been a big fan of pop music.

How long have they been married?

[s e r e n i t y]

I havent heard much of Mandys songs but I like her in the movies Ive seen of her, she seems like a nice person
Im gonna have to search for Ryan Adams then cause it seems like everyone knows him
