I am so glad there are other people who feel the same way about this book. So many people think it's the best thing ever written, and it makes me want to scream.
News:
Max is a Shadowblade, a supernatural--and supernaturally competent--warrior bound to protect her witch Giselle. As a Shadowblade, Max doesn't age. She is better, faster, stronger than any ordinary human being. And she hates it. Giselle betrayed her trust to make Max what she is, and though she is magically compelled to protect Giselle and follow orders, Max works against her witch in every way she can.

It's a stand alone. It could potentially have sequels, but I doubt it will.
It makes me SO happy that you're reading the Kitty books. YAY! I just read Kitty Takes a Holiday, and need to write a review of it soon.

Lol. Glad you're enjoying them. Um, I mean, sorry for impinging on your time.
Oh wait. No I'm not.

Stacer--Maybe you did. I didn't go looking.
Sigyn-- It was a good book. It was well-written. I didn't feel like it was derivative at all.

Go for it. I've been telling EUOL you should read it.

I think so...I'm very attached to my ideas at the end, and resistant to change. After I've been writing and then workshopping for a while, I slowly get less attached, I think. And then I have to force myself to keep investing energy in it, until eventually I'm done. Revisions take a ton of energy for me, because by that point I want to be done, but it's energy I have to force, because I'm no longer caring about the idea.
Perhaps this is why I hate revision so much.

I don't have to try to separate myself from my novels. The separation happens naturally.
A novel is like a roommate who you really love, but hate to live with. In the beginning, things are fresh and new. You are having fun. Then, little by little, you start to hate things about it. Little things start to bug you. You wish you could just ditch them and live with someone else for a while. Yet you stick with it, because you have to. When your contract is up and it is time to move on, you are so freaking sick of living with them that you are GLAD to see them go. But you can't live alone, so it's on to the next roommate, and the next, and the next.

Just submitted seven of those book reviews from my class write-ups. They aren't Shakespeare, but they're there when you need content. Sorry it took me forever to get them done.

Painting a living room is WAY less work than moving out of state. I'm glad you found a job! Yay hooray!

Getting those reviews reformatted is on my to do list. Unfortunately it is also being trumped by my paper revision due Thursday. I'll get them in soon.

Awesome. I've decided that one of my goals for the summer is to resurrect the Geek Girl. I'll have a ton more time then, so I should be able to after this semester is over.

Having five months to get the review done will be nice. My reading schedule is booked for the rest of the semester, and I am burned out from the 26 books I read in the last four months.
