By the way, this story of mine came out recently from Dreamspinner Press! Woohoo! :)

Where There's Smoke is a short novella about a nerdy professor of medieval studies...and his firefighter neighbor. ;) Super fluffy, super cutesy, super sexy at the end, too. Hope you all like it! ♥

She moved like a poem and smiled like a sphinx.

(finally) reading this one and really enjoying it so far.

It seems I couldn't stay away from a "dream cast" attempt for Daughter of Smoke and Bone. I always found them so depressing because it's almost never right, and even when it's right (Martin Freeman as Bilbo, Martin Freeman as Arthur Dent...) the rest of the movie is just wrong...

But I couldn't resist! Not certain with all the choices, and I couldn't even come close to an idea for Zuzana but I would be so so so happy with Issa, Liraz, Brimstone, Thiago and Mik as the people I chose (based on acting/personality as well as looks). Karou is hard, Lily collins has a delicateness that I think suits but as for acting... not sure. I think Naya would be a great Madrigal but not positive on that and Henry Cavill isn't quite right but I think he could act it well (and he's very, very nice to look at so no complaints). Also he has a widows peak...

To be honest, the only one I'm really set on is Christina Hendricks as Issa...

I'm back to old habits! My currently reading pile consists of three books - what's everyone else reading?

Finished.  Well I, for one, am very pleasantly dazzled.  I haven't read any other books by Brenda Novak before, but I think this is enough to get her on my auto-buy list.  This was wonderful.  Now I think I'm going to pass out into dreamland with happy book musings.

Happy reading all.  Review to come sometime tomorrow, I hope.
