I love Holly black , but it is a bit dark/edgy for the 12 - 13 year old crowd. Esp. the Twilight crowd -- because that book has no edge.
I recommend the PC and Kristin Cast series - house of the Night
I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

You're absolutely right. It's like... spherical jello.

I have a saintly BF who calmly cleaned the floor and me up and tucked me back in bed.
Hm, much like the time I vomited all over the front passenger side of Drew's work truck when I was on crazy antibiotics recovering from pneumonia? And he calmly cleaned it (and me) up, assured me he didn't hate me, and tucked me back into bed when we got home? Why yes, he is a keeper. Those are the moments when you really know.
Hugs, Scrappy.

I knew Hubby was a keeper when I had the aneurism in my sinus cavity go on me and he hauled me to the ER multiple times when it kept popping, then carried me out of the doctor's office after they finally packed my sinus cavity. And I got to be mostly conscious on his mother's living room floor for the next 24 hours. Damn, nearly 30 years ago now.

I think I've shared before that my DH helped take care of MY mother when she was too ill to take care of herself. Loved her and cared for her as if she were his own mom. That's the kind of partner you want for life.

Is it wierd that this conversation is making me want an SO? I mean, 99% of the time I'm fine with being single, but sometimes something makes me have a twinge for a BF. Although, perhaps my getting nostalgic about stories of people cleaning up someone else's poop is the reason that I'm single.

Nope, Vortex, that seems normal to me. I love my Dh , we have fun , we like hanging out together, he is great for my brain, but the bonus is that he can, will, and has dealt with me at some truly less than pleasant physical moments.
One of my friends ( divorced ) was appaled that DH was around when I was dying my hair . she felt there should be some 'mystery'. Really? After he helped me when I ate that recalled corn that left me faster than I ate it?
