Day 3: Book/Ebook/Fanfic
For one week, recommend / share:
Day 1: a song
Day 2: a picture
Day 3: a book/ebook/fanfic
Day 4: a site
Day 5: a youtube clip
Day 6: a quote
Day 7: whatever tickles your fancy
I actually don't come across too many e-books, so if anyone has any recommendations, I'd love to have them. What I do have a lot of recs for are fics though and that's what I'll be sharing tonight. :P
Spirited Away - Always With Me by
darushi_chan
I love Spirited Away as a film, and this fic holds true to the essence of the movie, how it's mysterious and vague, but there's something magical lurking underneath as well. Also love that Haku & Chihiro finally get together at the end, but that's a personal preference. ^^
Excerpt: Chihiro is almost positive that her new house is haunted, except for the fact that she’s also almost positive that ghosts do not exist (“except they do, they do!” a voice calls out joyfully from somewhere behind her, but since the sound is so faded, as if coming from the opposite end of a long, dark tunnel, she easily pays it no mind). However, ghosts would explain the reason why suddenly she and her parents cannot stand the thought of eating pork (a pig ghost perhaps?), the uneasy feeling that someone or something is watching her (watching over her) or those strange dreams with the slightly older boy with straight black hair and blue-green eyes, right? “There are no such things as ghosts,” her parents tell her and chuckle over the fact that their daughter is “so young, so cute. My, I wish I had an imagination like hers when I was her age! Anyway, chicken is much more healthier then pork!” They are of absolutely no help. She frowns and finishes her dinner of oyako donbori.

In other news, currently someone I know in rl is trying to donate a little kitty, and she's asking for help in finding the little kitty another home, and I AM SO TEMPTED. TEMPTED LIKE WHOA. Guys, I wanna a kitty! I really, really do. You have no idea how much I'd like to have a cat. (The only thing is this person who's donating her says she's hostile toward male cats, and we have Hanky- who's male- who comes around often, and I'm not sure they'd get along. This woman is essentially trying to find this kitten another home because she has a male cat, and the young female kitten isn't getting along with the male cat, but I'm assured she's the most adorable kitten ever besides attacking males. The kitten is OK around females, just not males. But seeing as Hanky isn't ours, and he only comes around once in while, I'm not sure that'd be too big a problem.) Of course, I don't think there's anyway I can get a cat right now, but we'll see....
