not olympics related
Don't get me wrong, i still have plenty to say about the olympics, but that's not what this post is about. I'll post something about that later.
I picked up a book at borders yesterday that i've actually seen before but never opened and decided i'd just take a peek at the synopsis before heading downstairs to find Pleasure of a Dark Prince by Kresley Cole (which i got and is amazing so far). Now this doesn't happen often, but this book is FANTASTIC. I read it and thought, "wow, this is just flipping awesome." I don't think i ever really think that about books. It always takes me a little while for a book to grow on me and then I love it. Both the Kate Daniels series and the Guild Hunter series took me a moment to digest and work up to loving unconditionally into my favorite book pile. Hell, I took 3 trips to the book store just to make sure before i bought Kate daniels. I read extensively online about Angels' Blood (reviews, excerpts, more reviews, the short story in Must Love Hellhounds that I bought BECAUSE Ilona Andrews had a story in it which just goes to show you how much i fell in love with their writing) before i went out and bought that then loved it to death.
Then this book i pick up and it totally sent me for a loop because i liked it so much. I didn't buy it because i'm worried it was a fluke and i'm a little scared that i jumped into that too fast. (The book is Fallen by Lauren Kate, by the way) So I'm going back to borders today to go see if i like it, but i still won't get it because i don't have a coupon, but i just want to give it the same treatment, care, and inspection i do with other new authors i haven't read before because, hell, how can i be sure of someone i've never read before?
The trend follows, though, that, if this book does become a favorite, i found it at the first book...again.
At least I'm consistent.
Oh, and i've already developed a theory about the plot arch of the books:
that Luce is going to be the devil's daughter or a demon's daughter or something. Where the hell else is she getting the powers from? it ain't 'cause she's human.
I'm scared I might love it because then i'd have to wait for October.
