definitely, possibly, maybe

you guys, i'm really traumatized by the idea that the cw is going to remake roswell . like it's going to be a very different show, but like there are so many things about the original show that i still hold dear to my heart. i'm very skeptical that i'd feel so strongly about the show and the characters that i'd feel compelled to write fan fiction about it. these days my fiction writing tends to be stuff i come up with on my own. but i enjoy looking at the archives because it shows me how i've improved as a writer over time. and i also enjoy remembering the girl i was back then. i've lived what feels like a lifetime since i wrote these stories. i graduated, i got a job, i fell in love, i got married, i had kids. life is so different now. maybe that's why the idea that roswell  is being remade strikes such a chord. i can't go back to who i was then, nor do i want to. and it's probably why i'm not too interested in a revival of this show, e...

i have to say, the books that i've read recently that have taken place in a setting like this: fake reality show, have really worked for me. take the lead  and the theory of second best  were both really fun reads. i like the tension the reality show enviroment creates. the weirdness of the relationships that develop, and the weird truth that somehow you can get to the heart of who someone is when you put them in a setting like that.  runaway groom  hits all the right boxes for me. gage bennett is not your standard hollywood jerk. he made a bet, and he's facing the consequences by letting this jilted thing play out. he just doesn't expect to be so charmed by one of the contestants. especially since she keeps insisting that she just wants to go home.  ellie only came on the show because she wanted exposure for her t-shirt company. gage wasn't supposed to keep her. she wasn't supposed to find him charming. and real. she thought gage would be just the movi...

whoops! i don't know what happened, but i totally missed that riverdale was already back from its winter hiatus. so i will catch up on the last two episodes and get back into the swing of things over the next week. from the trailers looks like things are getting pretty crazy and angsty and full of ridiculousness just the way i love my teenage dramas.

i saw arcs were out on twitter and literally ran to netgalley in order to get my hands on this book. i came in to the o’malley series late, book 4 was the first glimpse i had of this family. and keira and dmitri’s story has been percolating since at least then. i’ve been dying for more of them. to be honest, i found them to be the most compelling thing about aiden and charlie’s story, and i was hoping that when they finally had a chance to shine in the bastard’s bargain that i wouldn’t be disappointed. and i’m not. keira and dmitri are everything. what develops between them is raw and carnal and wanton. the way they need each other and the way they connect is beyond sexy. it’s something deep and dark and heartbreakingly beautiful. gorgeous broken keira means more to dmitri than he’s willing to admit at first. he can’t bear to see her destroy herself, so he will save her even as she fights him on it. she’s so tired of being a pawn, caged in by people claiming to protect her...

the third book in the studies in scandal series,  wallflower most wanted , has miss sophia hastings falling off a cliff in front of lord benedick lisle. he's the county vicar and a duke's son, and nothing like mr. collins from pride & prejudice. something the characters very kindly point out and is just the kind of detail i love.  sophia and ben get caught up in a plot to find some murderous art forgers and there are a lot of red herrings, because the real villain of the piece is a true surprise.  ben is such a steady, level-headed presence. he’s not some close-minded pastor and is liberal enough to accept and understand sophia’s art. it speaks to him in a way that lets him understand the woman she is. and that happens to be someone he wants to have a future with. there’s not a lot f drama between them, and that’s okay, because they have this really sweet romantic story.  and now i’m kind of hoping we see something develop between gemma, sophia’s sister an...
