Looking for kindred minds so I can see what books you can recommend me :).

Here's mine: http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/7090099-thao

Anyone read this series before? I must say this is an EPIC EPIC series. Read the first two book within a week. It's a fantasy/adventure genre with gay romance in it (though I do warn you it is not romance focused; it just has the elements of gay romance in it).

God it was so worth it reading up to book 2. I won't spoil it but IT WAS DEFINITELY WORTH IT. For Alec and Seregil <3.

I'm reading book 3 right now. Reading reviews for book 4 it doesn't seems to have a lot of good reviews. Skimming through it I can see why and I'm tempted to stop after I finish book 3.

Anyone read up to book 4? I have a wary feeling of rape in book 4 and I just can't bare to see Alec or Seregil go through it. If you have read book 4 let me know?

Spoilers Alert don't read if you haven't read Desert Sons series yet. Courtesy to Rika that I was able to get these two books.

God I'm so absolutely piss and mortified right now. I read book 1 of Desert Sons and LOVE IT. The intense feelings of Scoot and Ryan was absolute perfect and Scott proven time and time again how he had step up to the plate and save Ryan from nearly ultimate demise.

BOOK 2 I'M ABSOLUTE ENRAGE AT HOW HE PORTRAYS SCOTT. Not only has Scott lost all his charms HE BAILED ON RYAN BY CHEATING ON HIM WITH A DIFFERENT GUY CAUSE HE CRAVES SEX. Ryan grandmother die which slips into a deep depression and hes trying to fight it. INSTEAD OF SUPPORTING HIM SCOTT GOES AND CHEATS ON HIM. WHAT THE FUCK HAPPY WITH THIS 360 PERSONALITY CHANGE. In book 1 he went out of his way to help Ryan deal with his past about his parents death and his abusive relationship and actually got Ryan to open up. HE SHOULD UNDERSTAND BY NOW HOW EMOTIONALLY UNSTABLE RYAN IS AND HE HAD HELP SAVE RYAN. But now? He BAILS ON HIM AND CHEATS ON HIM!? FUCK I'M ABSOLUTELY PISS.

OH AND FINALLY THEY MADE UP AND SCOTT CONFESS HIS CHEATING RYAN FORGIVES IN THE END AND ITS JUST TOTAL BULLSHIT!!!! FUCK SCOTT!!

Been getting lots of emails/concerns which is probably warranted considering I haven't released anything in a while. So to answer a couple of questions: No we're not dead. Fall semester been heavy and drained most of my time from scanlations but I am back for winter break to play catch up. You can expect something for Christmas/New Years.

Been a very long time. Life has been so busy. Anyways yes I got the kindle touch for about 3 weeks now and I must... It's one of the best thing I have ever bought in my life!! I absolutely love it. I don't go a day without reading something from it. I'm very glad I bought it and I highly recommend it to anyone even if you're not an avid read. Trust me, I'm not avid reader and I hardly read anything besides text book until I got the kindle. Now I read everyday. So I really think getting a kindle is perfect even if you don't read much, you will once you buy it :). It makes a great x-mas present too!

So here my review on it. Basically the controls for the kindle touch is extremely easy to figure out. You have a power button and a button in the bottom middle that lets you go back to the main menu. Tap the middle part of the kindle to turn a page. Tap the left side to turn back a page. Tap the top to bring up the menu and options. Simple, easy. What I really like about the Kindle too is that if there's a word you don't understand just tap on that word and hold it and the definition of it will appear after 2 or so seconds. You can also highlight sentences, add notes ect ect.

Anyways the Kindle change me from disliking reading books to not having enough books to read. I strongly encourage parents to get them for their kids. I'm sure it will motivate them to read more. I only regret that I did not get this sooner when I was young or I would have develop a much better vocabulary.

Well its that time of year again that I always dread... Turning me older. I should start lying about how old I'm turning especially when I'm in a classroom full of freshman and I'm like a super senior...

Had an eventful day. We went out to eat at Cheesecake Factory which I found to be not all that appetizing. Besides the cheesecake the rest of the food was pretty average for the prices they were chargining, honestly.

Normally I would've planned a big release or something but I've been so busy I haven't had time to even touch scanlation in a while. I got some Birthday money which I will gladly put towards buying books for my Kindle Touch. I'm so excited to get it~!

Have big plans these coming week for Thanksgiving and such.

Well I suppose that's it for today. Been a while since I posted anything either (barely any time to do anything!).




Rika made me this pic. It's so cute! I love it!

So Original kindle, kindle touch, or kindle keyboard? Which one is best to get? Opinions?

I'm thinking about getting a Kindle as a gift to me for my Birthday. Anyone have a kindle? Would anyone recommend me it? I'm not exactly sure what kind of Kindle I want. I just want one so that I can read books.

Its been a while, I daresay a long while, since I picked up a novel (an actual novel) and read it. I just finished Maurice by E.M. Forster. I was inspired to read this book after watching the movie and I must say the book is much much better than the book.

The book is about a man's life from his childhood to adulthood, Maurice. He is what back then people considered an "illness" homosexual and he pass his life as he struggle with his homosexuality

The novel is not romantic oriented. Rather it goes deals with the struggle that Maurice face with his homosexuality due to public pressure and persecution. Forster is pretty insightful describing the predicaments Maurice has to go through being a homosexual. This book should garner much more attention like his other works.

Anyways great read.
