Two weeks of lab work left. Yeehaw. *throws up*

I read Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr over the weekend. Oh. My. God. Smart female protagonist? Check. Rock-and-a-hard-place problem, clever solution? Check and check. Wickedness, evil, and darkness? Check, check, and check. A conversation about safe sex that wasn't embarrassingly stupid? Check. One of the male leads was a bit Mary Sue to me, but that was more than made up for by another male lead being a total ass.

Grade: 8/10. Kick-ass book, highly recommended.

If I didn't have my head up my butt, I would have known that last Thursday (Valentine's Day) was Zombie Idol Day. Take a piece of literature, and add a zombie. Here are a few examples:
Maureen Johnson wonders what Pride and Prejudice would have been like with zombies.
Libba Bray gives Goodnight Moon the zombie treatment.
Holly Black revamps William Carlos Williams.
Scott Westerfeld tackles Dickens.

And I just wrote cheesy vampire (vampires are soooo five minutes ago) smut.

I finished my second book of 2007: All The President's Men by Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward. It was about Watergate, and the lead up to Nixon's resignation. It was a good book, really interesting. I didn't understand what the big deal about Watergate was. Now I do.
