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.

Not The Wands You Know
I have a very bad habit. I download books not by content or for any specific reason. I generally just get them by genre.
Deadly Wands
Brent Reilly
683 pages
In many popular books wands are generally used as tools to create or interact. They are frequently used for magic, and performing other amazing tasks. Not in this book though. Instead they are the equivalent to jet packs, guns, and other various items that aid in mass destruction and help create a war like atmosphere.
This book is unique in the way it presents an alternate world history. It demonstrates knowledge about tactics, as well as ways that various cultures interact. It's based in a fictional copy of our world, so a lot of the places named are ones the reader will know or recognize.
I was amused by the authors choice of main villain : Genghis Khan. Basically Khan has created an imperialist empire by conquering most of the world. He has armed his fighters with wands which other countries do not have access to. These wands enable the users to fly, shoot flames, and fight with weightless swords extended from the wands.
The main protagonist is Billy the Kid. Most of this book examines the various details of his life,from child to "adult" we see him as he develops. We learn about what angers him, what he believes in, as well as what he is willing to die for.
A major theme is the importance of family. It seems like every other page or two reflects on some aspect of family. Whether it's who your uncle is, or who your great great great grandfather is. Truthfully it is intriguing to think that there are folk that would be as concerned about their lineage as the ones that are in this book.
The ending of this piece is rather open, leaving me wonder if there is or will be a sequel.
There area few reasons that I won't recommend this piece for young readers. One of the major ones is sex. There is a running stream of commentary that implies procreation to simply extend ones lineage outward is appropriate. I'm not saying that some people wouldn't agree with the idea, I just do not think it is a point that the youth of today need stressed to them. Also, while sex is a major topic, it is far from romantic in nature. It is not descriptive and tantalizing like some of the more erotic pieces I've read. Oh, there is not an extensive amount of foul language (which is pleasant), but there is a large number of descriptions that to some may seem gory.

Not for the General Audience
Now I know my reading habits seem to be rather, sporadic. I don't read just one genre, and I don't stick to certain lengths or story types. That would make reading boring.
Anyway, todays recommended stories are more for adults than for younger readers. I do apologize if you were looking forward to hearing about something for kids today, but we'll do a post just for them soon.
____________
Cinderella's Wedding Night
by Tony Murfin
16 pages
This story looks at something that is normally left out of the old fairytale of Cinderella. It goes over a lot in it's short number of pages, and makes the story feel that much more grown up.
You get a glimpse at aristocracy, not necessarily in a good light. The author reveals odd desires from the Prince. And just what did happen to that glass slipper in the end? This is the story that explains one possible outcome.
Not intended for young readers at all. High School age readers, might be ok, but I strongly recommend that if you do let youth read this you read it as well.
____________
The Pause Ghost
by Joshua Scribner
30 pages
This is the only story in todays post that isn't sexual in nature. I know that means I should have saved it for a different day all together, but It's nice to have something here for readers that don't like smut. (no the other stories aren't THAT bad, but I'm rationalizing the inclusion of this story.)
This story takes you into a home, where there are 2 boys. We get to see their family christmas, as well as their favorite present, a casette playing stereo. But there's a problem with it, it pauses itself while they sleep.
This story is interesting because it gives a quick glimpse at family dynamics, as well as how family members deal with tragedies. Can be read by young adult readers without fear of them being traumatized. Not sure about younger readers though.
____________
A Twisted Bard's Tale
by Selena Kitt
36 pages
This story is a fresh look at the story of Romeo and Juliet. The author reveals her impression of what may have started the families to feuding together. And rather than spoil the reason, I will simply say that it had nothing to do with death.
This story is not for young readers, and a knowledge of the basic plotline of Romeo and Juliet is recommended as it will give some depth to the story that on it's own it would likely lack.
I classify it as adult because of it's content. I would also classify it as alternative lifestyle literature because of the type of sexual content included. This is not a bad thing, but just a heads up for those that prefer the writings of Shakespeare.
____________
Toe Tag
by Jr. Pau Bens Paul G.
40 pages
I don't remember this story actually being 40 pages long when I read it, but that's what it's telling me it is now. This story isn't intended for people with weaker stomachs. Not because it is gory, but because there are a few moments that might not be suitable for all readers.
The story itself is about a man that works at a shoe store, and his view on other peoples feet. Mind you as the story progresses we learn just how far he'll go to find the perfect pair of feet.
I would classify this as adult. There are hints at a fetish(ok strong hints). I dislike that it makes the fetish out to be 'bad' but, it's the Authors Story, not mine.
____________
Now remember if you read any of these, that some of them have a different feel than the fluffy stories i read frequently. But don't consider that a bad thing.
