coraaToday the boy and I got to hang out with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rachelmanija! I will post more later -- we ate an excellent Japanese izakaya meal, which I definitely want to blog (conclusion: delicious), had some equally delicious little molten chocolate pastries, and bought adorable tiny modeled food. (I would post more now, but I'm tiiiiiired.)
But what I want to mention now before I go to bed is that Rachel gave me an, uh, interesting collection of books on the condition that I will blog them. ;)
Here they are! Pardon the photo quality -- it was taken with my phone:
Left to right, top to bottom, that's: The Prince's Waitress Wife (which speaks for itself), She Died Too Young (such a very Lurlene McDaniel title), Pawns and Symbols (part of the Giant Floating Head school of Trek novels, and I particularly appreciate the chessboard they're floating over, and the Enterprise flying out of Kirk's chin), Dwellers in the Crucible (another Giant Floating Head book, this time hovering over young women with very 80s hair and rags), The Sheik Surgeon's Proposal (OMG), Spock, Messiah! (OMG), and Tuned Out (OMG).
I'm going to start with The Sheik Surgeon's Proposal, because, OMG. But what should I read and review after that? :D
(I'm stealing a tag from Rachel.)

Date: 2009-12-09 09:01 am (UTC)A while ago B. and I decided that someone needs to write the inevitable category romance In the Clutches of the Pirate Sheik. (He has a camel! And a parrot!)

Date: 2009-12-09 09:19 am (UTC)After that... maybe Pawns and Symbols (because I live in hope that such things turn out to be about mindgames rather than just about chessgames -- sorry, but when I played highschool chess the only game I won was with someone who I then beat with a textbook fool's gambit, and time has since proven that, while I like the idea of such games in theory, in practice I lack the patience to, well, practise) or Spock, Messiah! (because OMG with bonus exclamation mark!)

Date: 2009-12-09 10:04 pm (UTC)Nevertheless, I definitely agree that the world needs more mad scientist romance. Not only does madness lead to an additional level of tumultuousness and angst, the sex scenes are guaranteed to be really, really interesting.
