The Bad Boy Motif: Overdone?

Yup. I will be the first to admit. What is it about the bad boy that makes us puddy in their capable (even if fictional) hands? And while I'll most likely be the one to gush and swoon over these characters, there seems to be a trend starting... a trend that may ruin the bad-boy's reputation and appeal...

Happily Ever Afters...

I've never been that fond of happily ever afters. It's not that I don't want the characters to end up where they want to be, it just seems so... cliche. Maybe not even that. Maybe it's because real life, while it has its moments, is quite unpredictable and, while things have a way of falling into place, it's never puzzle-piece fitting, neat and pretty and tied up with a big red bow.

Review: The Collector by Victoria Scott

Dante Walker. Those two words have been the object of obsession and anticipation for many months, and now the time is finally here when he is revealed to the world in all his slightly egotistical but oh-so-sexy glory. I'm not a usually a fan of guys who are full of themselves, but Dante is in a league of his own, and let's face it, he's definitely got a few somethings to show off.

WWW Wednesday

To play along, just answer the following three (3) questions…

• What are you currently reading?
• What did you recently finish reading?
• What do you think you’ll read next?

What are you currently reading? I'm still reading Cassandra Clare's City of Ashes and I'm picking away at the last few chapters of World War Z. I've gotten a little sidetracked while reading these guys, so it's taking me forever!

What did you recently finish reading? I just finished Graceling by Kristin Cashore last night. I will be posting a review soon! The best book I've read this year :)

What do you think you'll read next? I've got Anne Rice's new novel, The Wolf Gift, waiting ever so patiently on my night stand. I think I'll give that one some much needed attention next.

Happy Reading Everyone :)
