Why do I keep collecting titles that look interesting when I still have a ton of books on my ereader that I haven't even cracked open? I can't help myself, I see a book cover or hear chatter over a story and I have to look. Then I begin to want.
Honestly, looking through books is a type of therapy for me. It's a weird kind of decompression that allows me to relax. Weird, right? If you follow me, you might already know that I read everything. All romantic pairings: Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transsexual, all assortment of Menage (MFM, MMF, MFF, MMM, FFF, and more), mainstream romance, and non-romantic Urban Fantasy and Sci-Fi. So what have I found lately? I'm so glad you asked! (LOL). Please, share my pain with me.
Oh! And do you have any reading suggestions?? ^_^

As the most beautiful girl in Gavaldon, Sophie has dreamed of being kidnapped into an enchanted world her whole life. With her pink dresses, glass slippers, and devotion to good deeds, she knows she’ll earn top marks at the School for Good and graduate a storybook princess. Meanwhile Agatha, with her shapeless black frocks, wicked pet cat, and dislike of nearly everyone, seems a natural fit for the School for Evil.
But when the two girls are swept into the Endless Woods, they find their fortunes reversed—Sophie’s dumped in the School for Evil to take Uglification, Death Curses, and Henchmen Training, while Agatha finds herself in the School For Good, thrust amongst handsome princes and fair maidens for classes in Princess Etiquette and Animal Communication.. But what if the mistake is actually the first clue to discovering who Sophie and Agatha really are…?

She does this not only because they had killed so many people in her life, but also because she has an edge that no other human had…she has their abilities.

So the moment she found out that Darius, a nostvore leader was threatening to awaken an indestructible species to help him enslave all humans and mythlends, and that she may be the key to his plan, she knew her only choice was to risk her life with the little time that she had left and join her enemy to find out why, and to make sure his plan failed.
If that wasn’t dangerous enough, the more time she spends with the Vanatre nostvore Emmerich, and the mooran Kuron, who she brings with her for protection, the less she wants to kill them.
