seriously romantic: the twelve days of dash & lily by rachel cohn and dave levithan

it's fitting that there's a blizzard happening outside just this moment. because it doesn't feel weird to write that it's christmastime and we have another wonderful adventure to enjoy with dash and lily in the twelve days of dash & lily. i loved their first outing dash & lily's book of dares, and it's been a year since dash and lily found each other and it's been hard to keep the romance of the holidays alive throughout the year.

part of the problem is that lily's beloved grandfather suffered a heart attack in the spring and since then nothing has felt quite right. dash doesn't know what to do to get through to lily. but he knows something is off, because it's christmas and it's her favorite time of year and she isn't feeling it. lily isn't sure of what she is feeling. she knows things are all wrong but she doesn't know how to fix it. she's the ray of sunshine, the incurable optimist, who can't stop feeling like everything around her is falling apart.

dash knows he needs to make things right for lily. so he enlists her entire family and their friends in another whirlwind scavenger hunt through manhattan, and in doing so proves to lily how much he really cares about her. how much he loves her. it's such a delight spending time with all these characters again. and as the magic of christmas brings joy to one and all, dash and lily are more in love than ever and it's wonderful.

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
