Has anyone read The Forbidden Wish by Jessica Khoury? If you haven’t, it came out last month and you really should read it. I got an ARC but now I really want it in hardcover so that it can look all nice and pretty on my shelf.

“There is only one thing more numerous than the stars,” I say, looking up to the heavens. “And that is the darkness that holds them.”

― Jessica Khoury, The Forbidden Wish

Speaking of bookshelves, I need another one, or at least to better organize the one I’ve got. I have about 15 books waiting to find their home with two more on the way. One of which is…

I read Sophie Campbell’s books back when she was indie and writing under the name Ross Campbell. I luuuuuurve her stuff, which also has served as hair inspiration as well as mild character inspiration. I can’t wait to compare the revamped edition to the original one. She’ll also be the first trans* comic artist that I’ve knowingly read. Her books are hella cool and diverse.

I’ve also noticed I’ve been reading less ebooks lately, mainly because I had a three month stint of reading badly written books, and Crabby Kayti was beginning to break out of her cage and go on a rant-page.

I think I’ll get back into it soon though, especially since I now have Here to Stay by Suanne Laqueur in my Kindle giving me come hither looks.

Do you have any series that you’ll pick up no matter what? Authors who’s words you absolutely love?

Speaking of lovely words, check out this:

Maybe it’s the use of evanescence or maybe it’s the fact that Madhuri writes some serious word porn and I get off on that, but I absolutely love this and you should check out her blog for more literary goodness.

And finally… still working on RISE. *Slowly slinks away from the computer and the Internet*
