Shadow Kiss

I have finally gotten far enough to write a review for "Shadow Kiss" by Richelle Mead. I really like this book. They way the characters still have those relationships from previous novels. Mead's style of writing is one of my favorites. As much as I love Dimitri, he's kind of getting on my nerves. Sure, he and Rose have finally recognized their feelings for each other, but I think the fact that he keeps showing those feelings, knowing full well that they won't be able to pursue them, seeing as they will be both guarding Lissa when Rose graduates, is a little selfish. This may be just my opinion. Although, it is nice when he comes to her defense against the Council of the Guardians, and saves her from being taken out of the field experience. I only about 76 pages through, but already so much has happened. Eeeh! I am wired to read further. I've heard rumors about what happens later between the two, Rose and Dimitri, but I'm still going to read and find out for myself. Sure, sometimes people try to spoil my appetite to read a book, but what they don't understand is that no matter how much you try to spoil the book, I'll always want to read it for myself. I like to know the nitty-gritty details.

Update: I am not going to be buying anymore books for a while, but I will still be borrowing books. The reason being, I have to save up to get my mom's birthday present and it's a little expensive, but she's worth it :) After that, my library has an annual spring book sale, (Paperback 50 cents, and Hardcover $1), so I'll hopefully still have some money leftover and go on a small spending spree and get some more books. I just hope that they'll have some of the books that I want, that somebody else didn't want. It's always a crap-shoot when you try to find books that you want there. Although other times, you find books that you didn't even know you wanted, but you saw it and you fall in love with it and buy it anyways. :)

I don't think I can express this anymore than this does. I have this everyday. Some of my friends have asked my why I don't have a boyfriend, and I just said, with a completely serious expression, "I already have a few, they just live in a different world than I do." They looked at me like I was crazy, but I'm not. The people in my town are just too stupid for me to ever consider going out with. So, that ^^^ says more than you'd think.

Until next time,
