Those are the most comments I've gotten on a post, ever! I haven't pre-ordered the next Meredith book yet, but I probably will. I don't mind the amount of sexual content in those books as much, there was never any pretense that Meredith wasn't that way. The fae are just so sexy.
I should review Witchy books too. Right now, I'm reading Power of the Witch by Laurie Cabot. She's THE Witch of Salem. I'm do a full review when I'm finished. I also ordered the sequel to The Spiral Dance by Starhawk from OneSpirit.com. It's called The Earth Path.
As far as the Anita Blake series goes, I'm done buying. I'll save my pennies to buy Meredith Gentry when they come out in hardcover.
Merry Part and Blessed Be!

Pajama Day!
Today is PJ Day at Adelphia. I'm wearing my Tigger and Pooh pajama bottoms and a T-shirt. Jeff thought I was silly. But pass up the chance to be this comfy at work all day? No way Jose. Of course, now I feel like taking a nap instead of working. But really, how is that different from any other day? :)
I also booked a hotel for us in Niagara Falls for the two nights after our wedding. A reminder here to friends to please get your RSVP cards back to my mom ASAP please. We need to know how many of you to feed.
Feeling a little down this week, I've got an unwelcome guest who's here til Monday or Tuesday. I am looking forward to role-playing this weekend though. Maybe I should go out and by some Midol or Pamprin. It's suppose to help with the irritability and the mood swings. I know Jeff would appreciate those going away. Hell, so would I. I don't like feeling like one of the patients.
Merry Part and Blessed Be, and see you guys for Vampire tomorrow night.
Oh, and what would be the interest level in getting together to hang out for Halloween?

Incubus Dreams
I just spend the last 24 hours devouring Laurell K Hamilton's newest book, Incubus Dreams. It's the most recent addition to the Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter series.
Some background: The title character Anita Blake is a necromancer, a Master Vampire's human servant, and the queen of the local wereleopard pard. She helps the St. Louis police solve crimes related to the preternatural, and is in general an all-around bad ass chick.
In Incubus Dreams, Anita is called upon to investigate multiple-vampire killings of strippers. All of her friends on the police force don't believe she'll do her job because of her ties to Jean-Claude, the Master of the City. But with her expanding powers and the help of the men who love her, Anita uses her gifts to find the murderers.
If you like erotica that includes vampires and lycanthropes, you would really like this book. If you liked the first 5 books or so in this series, you're going to hate this book. There are only 3 scenes where Anita is at crime scenes, and probably a dozen sex scenes. The sex scenes are almost all threesomes with Anita and any combination of 2 men. We've got Jean-Claude and Richard, Nathaniel and Damien, Nathaniel and Jean-Claude, the list just goes on, and it includes vampires we've never seen in the series before now.
I'm sure I'll re-read it almost immediately, mainly because the first read was so fast I'm sure I missed things. But for people who liked Anita the way she started out, you probably want to skip this one. In fact, you'd be best pretending the series ended at Obsidian Butterfly.
Merry Part and Blessed Be - Oh and do we like pink?

Ah, massage
I think I really need to go back to school for massage and hire Jamie to work with me. She gives one mean back rub! Role-playing last night was good, we saved the world in the Buffy RPG. (Go me! Thanks Evil Dad!)
I'm at work, bored and tired, I'll write more on another day.
Merry Part and Blessed Be!

Watch this space for pictures!
The printer I hooked up last week turned out to be a scanner too, so as soon as I get permission to download photohosting software to Soth, there'll be some pictures for you to look at. :)
Last night we played Mage. We've got the party split 4 ways now. At least we started off mostly working together... Now Paul and I's characters are with some Werewolves in a village somewhere in a jungle (we met a monkey spirit), Serena is back in Boston, Uriel (Adam's character) has been captured by the Technocrats again, and Jeff's character (whose name I don't even remember because he was so unpleasant the first time I met him that I kicked him out of my apartment) is in Boston too, but not with Serena.
And tonight's Buffy (Suzanne does impromptu Snoopy dance here :) Paul said I'm getting a new spell out of the books my father gave me. I'm going to learn witch-fu!
It's time for lunch now, then work. Merry Part and Blessed Be all!
