Countdown - January - Part One

Are you scared yet? PROLOGUE 8:55am -GMT January 1, 1999 Super Seekrit Russian Base @ Poulostrov Kanin , Northern Arctic Circle Colonel Yuri Petrovich is sad. He's stuck stuck guarding some hunk of metal. It's cold and he hardly sees the sun. Plus, there's the annoyingly perky 20 year-old Nikolai Militov , inviting him to the launch center for a drink. Yuri pretends to be horrified that Nik would suggest abandoning his post and then agrees to the drink. Nik and Yuri head to the launch center and Yuri comments that it's 11 am and aren't they supposed to raise their glasses at midnight? Nik replies that it's midnight SOMEWHERE. Yuri opens the super seekrit door with the super seekrit fifteen-digit code and doesn't bother closing it behind him because...it would take too much effort? WORST SECURITY GUARD EVAR ! They get to the launch center and the party's already started. Someone calls Yuri "comrade" and he gets all sad faced and emo o

Ode to Dorkiness

I ordered books 5 &6 of Boyfriends/Girlfriends/Making Out today. I am ridiculously excited about this. At the rate I keep going with my SwagBucks gift cards, I'll be ordering book 8 on the 30th. I've decided to pretend that 1-8 are the only canon that matters. HEE! I'm getting them in their original so-early-'90's-it-hurts covers! SQUEE! I like the originals so much better than the newer versions. So, they should be coming at the end of next week. I also picked up Wild Hearts Forever by Cherie Bennett. I vaguely remember this series, but I haven't seen it in forever. I did a little dance in Goodwill upon finding it. I have to hunt down March through December of the Countdown series and I'll be happy. It's strange. I have only one book to go before I finish up my Sweet Valley High collection, but I can't bring myself to buy it. The reason? I started these books when I was 10 or 11. I've wanted all of them for over 15 years and if I get this

Fade Out

I just finished the 7th book in The Morganville Vampires series by Rachel Caine. I really enjoy these books and highly rec them to anybody into vampires. I just wish the books were longer! Book 8 won't be out until May 2010. *sigh*

Freshman Roommate

Faith ends up with a male roomate named Becker Cain, who turns out to be a manipulative, controlling slimeball, who apparently thinks the way to a woman's heart is plagiarism-by-proxy. Winnie and Lauren are hounding poor Faith throughout the whole book which makes Becker seem even more appealing Lauren apparently feels nobody has ever been feminist before her. She insults Dash and basically acts like an entitled moron. She assumes that Faith won't mind her taking a nap in her dorm room (you know, the one Lauren doesn't live in anymore?) and assaults Becker by punching him in the face and kicking him in the balls Unsurprisingly, this does not endear Faith to Lauren. Liza meets Travis (Winnie's Europe trip ex) and discovers Rich evil revenge plot. She ends up completely broke, but Rich's dad is so impressed with her, she actually gets a walk-on part with 5 lines! And Travis kisses her! OOOH! Melissa is for some bizarre reason hanging out with her track nemesis, Caitli

Freshman Truths

KC meets her mother and discovers her mother's past alcoholism. She deals with this by getting completely shit-faced on Russian vodka. Oh, and a DJ she barely knows trys to get her deepest, darkest secrets. Liza and Rich are happy. SQUEE! Oh, wait! Rich totally wants revenge on L for swiping his dummy and stuffing him under a bunch of coats and ruining his chances to be on TV. Rich, of course, discovers this after L's interview with Cody. Kimberly is accused stealing money from the dorms.Why? Basically, because she's black. Guess who the thief is? Melissa! Kimberly gets her rage on in an interview with Cody (for a guy that just showed up last book, he sure gets around fast!) Lauren gets sick of the poor pitiful me shtick she had going on with Melissa and decides to actually live her life. Courtney still chases Dash, even though he has no interest in her. Finally, she gets over it and take a job with finance whiz Eric Sutter.

Next Book!

I've decided that the next book I will recap will be in the Countdown series by Daniel Parker Don't feel bad if you've never heard of it. The plot goes thusly, what if everybody over 21 melted into a puddle of black goo and thurvivors were the smeggiest smegheads to ever smeg a smeg? Be there or be square...

Freshman Dorm Book Cover Fail

So, in the Freshman Dorm book series there is a character by the name of Lauren Turnbell-Smythe. She is described as having light brown hair and being chubby...and apparently the most heinous choice for the "Trash Your Room mate Dance" I have to ask, though. Why in the purple crap is the girl portraying Lauren blond and not in the least bit chubby?

Late on recap again.

Urgh! I really need to finish up Zoey Fools Around. I start it and get so disgusted with Joke's behavior and it makes me D: I really want to use this to chronicle the cheesy books I read and random thoughts about movies/tv shows based on books.
