I only have four rules: One, no Harry Potter jokes. We've all heard them, they're tiresome. Please don't embarrass yourself. The same goes for any book, TV show, anime, movie, whatever you might have seen that is similar. Two, no Spellweaving without express leave to do so. Three, 'Komachi ate my homework', is not a valid excuse for missing spellbooks, parchment, diagrams or homework. And finally...

You are quite lovely, lass", he said. "But if you knew my wife, you'd know that she'd take my liver and eat it in front of my quivering body if I ever betrayed her."

Jay, Jay, Jay...!! It's a re-read and I still want to punch you in the face!!

You have got to be fudging kidding me!!

Did those people just give the poor woman to the Draigon because she refused to wear the propper attire, sang songs and kept sending her daughter to school even after the other girls stopped going?!!

I just can't believe it!! Talk about narrow minded idiots! Gah!!

Torin, the blacksmith, had told her it would be like this. That the little things would be the hardest. ...

Her heart was a rock in her chest, as hot and heavy as the iron Torrin worked.

OMG! I'm only 8% through and already love it! The prose is so beautiful and the story gripping!!

"I feel great now," Seth said. "Like the riddle. Why do you hit yourself in the head fifty times with the hammer?"
"Why?" Kendra asked.
"Because it feels so good when you stop!"

Kendra stood up. "But you'd take Seth? He's two years younger than me and practically brain dead!"

No comment! :D

He'd heard it was the best school in Alabama, so he wrote his application essay about how he wanted to go to a school where he could read long books. The problem, he said in the essay, was that his dad would always hit him with the books in his house, so Chip kept his books short and paperback for his own safety.

Hell's fire!! I'm only 10% in and I already hate those bi....s!!

HOLY FUDGING SHIRT!! I'm at the edge of my seat biting my nails!!

"I will see you howl like a dog in despair..." she says. And boy how I wish she'd be the one to howl!!

"I can't come to work."
"Why?" Netty asked.
"I'm sorry. Didn't you hear me? There's a gator on the porch."
"Don't worry, he don't mean ya no harm. Just give him wide berth and sneak past him."
...
"Go to the closet."
I dutifully went. "Alright"
"Grab yourself a broom."
"I got it."
"Now shoo him away. He'll scoot on back to the swamp..."

"Oh helllll no. Screw that."

"Speaking of getting settled. I need to ask you for a favor."
"I know." Nettie waved a dismissive hand.
"How?"

He laid a wee cantrip onto the library, an animate working responsive to thought. The invocation summoned the volumes he required without any need to search for them by hand. We had books scuttling hither and yon like singed cats...
The Warden paused, nonplussed as a book toppled from the upper shelf and smacked onto the floor, pages riffling.
Now that's what I call a cool library!!!

Well look at that! The man finally decided to get his head out of the bucket and do something!! About 200 years late if you ask me! But still, it's a start.
