To be honest Valentine's day is the one day of the year I dread more than any other. I've yet to have a pleasant experience on it, and I am not going to be planning on having a good experience on it this year. But that doesn't matter. I found an adorable book that I just HAVE to share with you! (regardless of how I personally feel about the matter of Love)
Fixing Cupid
Cristian YoungMiller
438 pages
Don't let the page numbers daunt you. This is a fast read, the story is fun and you never know what is going to come next.
It revolves around a character named Ben and his troubles with love. If you don't believe me, just read the first 6 pages, you'll know enough that you'll likely be as intrigued as I was.
His best friend decides to try and help him 'fix' his problem, by helping him put his life back together. But as the story continues, we wonder if the fix is causing more trouble than it is worth.
Due to most of the content of this book, I do NOT recommend it for readers that are not capable of dealing with sarcasm and adult situations. It also helps to have a sense of humor and a slight idea about romantic history.
Why did I like this eBook? Well, it was cheerful, pleasant, and there are a large number of comedic moments that shine. It is a piece that will appeal to both genders, and there's a happy ending.
I guess I'm a sucker for a happy ending.

Familiar Characters Presented in a new Light
When people look at the blurb on the back of a book, curiosity will often get the better of them if there are names that they recognize. That is what happened to me in this case.
There's No Place Like Homecoming
Lacy Maran
182 pages
Personally I would classify this as a fan fiction. Why? Because of the large number of well known characters that she makes her own between the pages. They are not presented in their original formats, but there are a number of references to the classic stories that they are found in. On the most part, it's a light read, not really intended to be taken seriously.
The writing is good though, very very good.
Dorothy Gale, Peter Pan, and Cupid for starters if you need a teasing idea about who you can find between the pages.
