Thanks for the fish fingers and custard Matt!

Hello and Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and all that.

I'm not really in the spirit this year, but here's my obligatory Christmas quote either way.

“One can never have enough socks," said Dumbledore. "Another Christmas has come and gone and I didn't get a single pair. People will insist on giving me books.”
― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

After a day full of baking hundreds of cookies with my best friend here's a quote that has never been more prevalent in my life.

"We have three kinds of family. Those we are born to, those who are born to us and those we let into our hearts."
Simi - A Dark Hunter Christmas

The best part of a school break is being able to read whenever I want to.

"I get a warm feeling among my books."
Anthony Powell

December 21, 1905: Anthony Powell was famously subject to posthumous literary snark from frenemy V.S. Naipaul, who said, "It may be that our friendship lasted all this time because I had not examined his work."

I apparently really, REALLY missed reading. Here's the next novella and its following novel that I'll be reading today and a quote from each. You can also check out the review I wrote for Dance with the Devil on goodreads. I wrote this, I think, the second time I read it.

“Artemis the bitch goddess. You know her. She’s the one who stole your soul."
"She didn’t steal it."
"Of course she did. She steals everything.”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, A Dark-Hunter Christmas

“Forgiveness is the best part of valor...Discretion is easy. It's finding the courage to forgive yourself and others that is hard."
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, Dance with the Devil

Now that it's break you'll see my reading increase. Once again here's a quote from a Sherrilyn Kenyon novella, Dragonswan. This is Darh-Hunter .5 going by her reading list (yup, for the third time I am reading this series I once again have read it out of order.) can be found here.

Enjoy and happy reading!

“And just like you, I will die at some unknown date in the future. I just come equipped with a few extra powers. (Sebastian)
I see. I’m a Toyota. You’re a Lamborghini.(Channon)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, Dragonswan

For those of you who have not noticed, I have updated the blog side bar with two new widgets! One is my current goodreads book count for 2013. I am currently WAY behind and looking forward to reading as much as possible in the coming weeks to see how close I can get to my goal for the year. Last year my goal was 75 and I ended the year with 74.

The other new addition is my "currently reading" shelf from goodreads. I am an admitted book-a-holic and can carry on and keep track om multiple series at once.

Tonight I begin the third in a long series that I love and have read numerous times. Night Embrace by Sherrilyn Kenyon is a fabulous read.

As with the last book from Kenyon I recommend make sure to check out the "Official Reading Guide" provided to ensure the proper reading order of this megalith of a series.

Happy reading!
