seriously romantic: #starstruck by sariah wilson

when chase covington, academy award-winning heartthrob and hollywood elite responds to one of zoe miller's tweets she doesn't really believe he's actually responding to her. but then he keeps replying. and then he finds out more about her. and he still responds. and zoe, who has had a crush on chase since she was twelve doesn't quite know what to make of this.

in part because zoe is pathologically introverted. her offbeat upbringing made it difficult to open up to others. and trusting people to like her for her, it's a challenge. especially since she also happens to be celibate.

this book spends a lot of time talking about zoe's choice to wait for marriage. although you have to give chase credit, even though he is clearly attracted to zoe and wants to do more than just kiss her, he's incredibly respectful and supportive of her choice. and even when she pushes him to the brink, he is the one who knows to pull back.

chase is pretty much the sweetest guy ever until something happens to rattle his trust and then there's a lot of groveling involved before things get batter. but #starstruck is essentially a fairy tale.

this book is sweet and a total fantasy. it's escapist romance and totally entertaining with cute secondary characters to round out the cast, just don't expect a lot of depth.

**#starstruck will publish on january 16, 2018. i received an advance reader copy courtesy of netgalley/montlake romance in exchange for my honest review.

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
