Sharing a Favorite

Yes I know that this post is late. But I spent most of the past day and night sick. So today I'm sharing something that I've been reading off and on for a long while. The Devil's Panties.

There aren't enough words to explain why I enjoy this comic as much as I do. But I do, and I think most of you will like it too. Sometimes the comic is directed at grownups, but generally speaking, there's not much hat would be considered inappropriate.

(and am sorry am not doing justice with this post, may the reading world forgive me, but I feel so dizzy I need to go lay down again)

Ballet? Romance?

I know that the Nutcracker is a beloved story. There's a ballet, and a number of films based on the story. But although this story is entitled as it is, it really doesn't have much to do with the story at all.

(yes I'm being kind of lazy today again, I'm sorry lovelies, am just so tired ~_~)

Dancing The Nutcracker
Nandi Berry
8 pages

Very short story, quick read. Not appropriate for young readers due to highly sexual content.

Uhm, think of it as a reprieve from the longer reads we've had recently.

We get a short glimpse into a ballet dancers life, as well as some of her interests.

sorry that I'm not being more descriptive, but since I'm not quite myself right now... I'm not feeling very informative.

A Winter Romance

Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with a good romance story, or an erotica now and again. I just hesitate to share them, because someone might get the wrong idea about me.

Now, don't expect a lot of romance or erotica, but I'll try to sneak some in now and then.

Pixies Passion
Mina Carter
41 pages

This fun mini romance novel earns it's own post for a few reasons. As you read what I have to say about it I bet you'll figure some of them out. This piece has a paranormal twist that's different than the vampire, werewolf, wizard line we're accustomed to. Our main 'male' character is a pixie.

Now when we say pixie, it isn't the petite little tricksters we see in fairy tales and art. We're looking at a bad boy biker muscle head looking creature that has a few personal issues. (mind you he's not really a biker, that's the best definition I can think of that you might follow). The authors description of him is delicious, I'm sure that you would enjoy it. (the description to start with anyway).

One thing that stuck with me is what the author calls The Pixie Code. "Might made Right." It's an interesting concept, the idea that if you could fight to get something, and fight to keep it, you could. It added a bit of depth to the story, as there are small snippets that give dreamy insight to the pixies background. (Sympathy Card inserted here)

The story is set in December, with a lot of hints and references to Christmas. (Which is why it's being shared this month, I am trying to be seasonal.) We get a fun description of a fundraiser date auction, a stormy blind date, ideals about family and acceptance. It's a pleasant read.

Rated M for mature, due to sexual content, this is not a book I recommend for reading at work. Some of the Scenarios even made me blush. (And I honestly try to stay as uninterested in romance as I can.) I do not recommend this for teenagers due to the adult content.

Treasured Tale of Far Away

We all run into different books as we go along over time. Sometimes a book is so sad that it clings to your memories. For me one example of that is the book Today's Post is about.

The Little Prince
by Antoine De Saint Exupery
111 pages

The author wrote and illustrated this book for the reader to enjoy. And the first thing you find when you open it is that is dedicated to a good friend, but not as he was at the time, as he was when he was a child.

That tells you a lot about the writer in my opinion. For a writer to care about a friend so dearly, but to acknowledge that children might find offense in his choice to dedicate it to an adult is charming.

As you read the story you find out various things, both about the Little Prince, but also about the narrator. They both have a lot to teach each other, even the one answers questions more often than the other.

As charming and sad as some parts of the tale are, there are some things young readers may not understand. Adults that indulge in the piece, after reading it in the past, may find more in it than they had in the past.

There's something sweet about a Little Prince that watches over a flower, and wants a sheep. But as in all things mortality is questioned, and there is no answer given for certain in the end, but your given the choice to decide the outcome yourself.

For sometimes the most unusual meetings are the ones that leave a lasting impression.
