oanjaLast night when I was going to bed I made the mistake of taking a book with me. To be fair, I didn't think it would be so good that I would have to read the whole thing through, but I did. Luckily it was a short book, so I was able to finally fall asleep around four (seriously 176 pages!!! That is so short! And it had pretty big print too). Even more lucky I didn't have lectures today. Anyway I got one of those Anita Blake Vampire Hunter books on sale from the bookstore yesterday and that's the one I read. I was really surprised how much I liked it, but then again I really liked the early Southern Vampire Mysteries (True Blood) books too. Also it worked really well on its own, even though it was like the 19th book, but it wasn't like I couldn't follow what was going on.
There was a lot of het sex/sexuality in it too and it took me a while to get used to that after reading so much slash for the past 7 years. I mean usually in the 'real' books I read there isn't any sex 'on screen', especially because I read a lot of fantasy. I had no idea what the books were actually about before I read it, but I was also impressed with the polyamorous relationship Anita had with all her men, brownie points for that. I also got the impression that she's at least a bit bisexual? (she didn't flirt or sleep with a woman though, so I'm not sure) and some of her boyfriends might be too? Anyway, I'm going to read some more of these.
I even found some of them for free e-books, but my Kobo is frozen and I can't reset it or fix it, so that makes me sad. Especially because it's not like the thing was that cheap and I only had it for about a year. :(
Oh and first French class went well. The teacher was super nice. I'm actually looking forward to going to the lesions and maybe I will even learn a bit of French. :) I wish our language teachers had been this nice when I was in middle school/high school, I might have actually learned some swedish/german back then.
Tomorrow I'm going to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
