seriously romantic: getting lucky number seven by cindi madsen

in getting lucky number seven, lyla wilder isn't doing much to live up to her name. she's shy and focused on her studies and isn't one to go out partying. after a particularly bad blind date she decides that she is clearly not doing college right. so she enlists her best friend, hot shot hockey player beck davenport to help her come up with a list of things to do to ensure that she's really enjoying her college years.

beck goes along with this plan at first, because he thinks that maybe he needs to protect lyla. but when he notes that she's added mindblowing sex to the list of things she should accomplish, he starts to notice all the things he'd purposely ignored while their relationship existed in the friend zone.

convinced that they can keep things casual they cross the lines of friendship. but it's impossible to live with the haziness of friends with benefits for too long. when things get to be too much for beck, when he lets lyla in further than he ever meant to he abruptly pulls back. and this hurts her deeply. she discovered parts of herself that she didn't know existed with beck, and his refusal to trust her, to trust in their friendship, to trust in the deeper feelings clearly growing between them is devastating.

and what's worse, now that she is heartbroken, she doesn't have a best friend to turn to. luckily she gets along with her roommate, but it's not the same. when beck pulls out all the stops for a grand, romantic gesture, it's exactly the right thing to win her back.

simply catching up on all things general hospital

hmmm, it's been months since i've blogged about gh . partly this is due to the fact that i fell behind while i was traveling. partly because all the outrage lapsed into disinterest when i realized i couldn't bring myself to care anymore and everything that was happening was just so trite and boring. some days i still feel that way. and there are still whole storylines that i either hate or just fast forward through. but there are some good things too. in no particular order, here are my thoughts on the goings-on in port charles: 1. soras [and why re-casting roles works on soaps even if you do miss the original actors]: the new, older versions of sonny's kids are turning out to be quite enjoyable. [although hilariously, cameron whom i believe is older than molly is now younger. and because cameron is so cute, i'm kind of hoping they won't fix that. we also haven't seen spencer in ages, so he may be approaching 50.] in any case, at this point we've only s

genre debate: urban fantasy versus epic fantasy: team epic gets their say

Team Epic: Why I Love Epic Fantasy! Since it's my blog, I'll go first: Epic fantasies take you on quests that take you beyond the limits of what is real. The rules can be different, they are different, and everything just matters more. It's not just one life at stake, it's lives, it's a whole world, a whole way of being. Epic fantasies force you to use your imagination and take you on an adventure to places you never thought possible, but as different as everything feels, there are still things that are always real, no matter how you write it. Keep reading to see what a handful of Entangled TEEN authors think about epic fantasies: Erica Cameron - Island of Exiles (The Ryogan Chronicles, #1): Why do I love epic fantasy? It's a blank slate. We can erase all of our preconceived notions of society and law and even science, throwing all of that over the side of a cliff. Epic fantasy lets us push humanity well past the breaking point with ever
