I've been reading, y'all! It feels nice - I haven't been able to get almost any reading done this year. I read Carpe Jugulum and Monstrous Regiment for the first time and reread Thud! and Night Watch, and I also reread Johnny Tremain and Calico Bush. I kind of really want fanfiction for those last two, guys. REALLY. Also for Monstrous Regiment, because Lofty and Tonker! Awwww. And I sorta love Maladict, because so awesome. Terry Pratchett does vampires right.

In other news, some sort of something is being written, though I'm not really sure what it is. It's HP fanfic, which is distinctly odd for me (I've done one! Once! For a prompt!) and we shall see. Another sort of something is being written that may or may not be Peter and Edmund being snarky and amusing, sometimes through letters. I'm not really sure.

Also, I'm fairly certain I'm going insane. In a pressure-cooked sort of way becuase even with co-op over there's still people everywhere and so little time to myself and I really, really need to be by myself.

...I need to read. Unfortunately, it's May, and that means finals. :(

HOWEVER! The Last Olympian came out yesterday, and as soon as my brother finishes reading it, I SHALL. :)

The Last Olympian? Should I know what that is? XD

Good luck on your finals, I hope everything goes well and they're over soon so that you can read!

Hahah, not necessarily. It's the last book of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. While not the most intellectual read (it's stocked in the kids' section at most bookstores), it's highly entertaining.

Thanks!

And silly me, I posted too soon!

GAH. Johnny Tremain? Seriously? AWESOMENESS. ♥

My brother read it for some school project, and then he insisted I read it. IT WAS SO GOOD. YEEK. :)

Hahaha, I read the second one, Sea of Monsters, right when I was reading The Odyssey for school, and the parallels are so hilarious! ♥ You should read the last two. :)

OH I KNOW. 8D

JOHNNY TREMAIN! I love you so much it hurts. Seriously, I never got over that book. And I want some Johnny/Cilla. (I know anyone who likes Merlin will probably try to ship Johnny with Rab, but come on. THE APPLE INCIDENT. That is all.)

Johnny Tremain has to be one of the most beautiful Revolutionary War books EVER. Honestly. That speech 'that a man may stand up' and the description in it was breathtaking. It made me shiver and want to cry, and that's when I didn't know what happened to Rab. Johnny/Cilla's adorable, Johnny/Rab would only happen in... I don't know, impossibilities? I don't think Rab ever had a girl... I'd like for him to, though. THE APPLE INCIDEEEEENT. OH YOU GUYS. <333 Oh that book.

Carpe Jugulum is an awesome book. :) Unfortunately, I haven't read the others you mentioned yet. I hope to soon.
