I've been gone a while. I started reading fanfiction to escape and I got sucked in an abyss.

I have no idea if someone else is hosting similar challenges. I just grabbed some of what I have hosted before.

Here's to a happy year of great reading
Jan2023: Not much has changed. Writing a fanfiction now O_o as well as reading but I bought 7 new books in December and hope to get those read soon. Crossing fingers about adding challenges (late!)

Movie: The Hobbit. An Unexpected Journey

Beautiful scenery. Fantastic fight scenes. I haven't read the book recently enough to know what was messed up. I did get two of the lines exactly right. It was super nice seeing familiar places and faces.

My main problem? I forgot it was a trilogy. {head bang}

Apparently I can disappear into a movie as well as a book and was totally engrossed. The snail shell is tapping and I'm thinking "that's got to be annoying". . . then the credits roll and I'm thinking "Wait. What? Already? Dang this is first of three".

Our local movie theater did a marathon of the Twilight movies when the last one came out. I would totally go to that if they do it for The Hobbit.

edit: Some of the movie trailers were for a new Star Trek movie, The Host (which actually looked good), Zombie Love, Pacific Rim, and one with leafmen who protect the forest.

Believe it or not, I want to see Zombie Love. I know, right? Check it out. And The Host? I didn't want to read the book because of Twilight even if it wasn't like Twilight. Maybe I'll skip the book and go straight to the movie. Or it could be a contender for "Second Chances". The leafmen one looks good too. Animated with a Fern Gully/Honey I Shrunk the Kids feel.

Alec has the perfect gift for his lover Kono this year -- his best friend Swan.

Kono has a lot of fantasies about being a submissive, while Alec likes to watch and Swan is the best Dom he knows, so a week together fulfilling Kono's fantasies seems like just the ticket.

Of course, he hasn't taken into account that maybe there are stronger feelings at play here between all of them. Will these three men turn out to be exactly what they each need for Christmas this year?

~*~*~

First book of the year, chosen because it is a Christmas book...third year in a row!
