Book #23: Voices of Dragons, by Carrie Vaughn

Girls are Awesome, Here There Be Dragons, re-imagined world, acting their ages (instead of their shoe size), remarkable maturity wrt sex and general all around awesomeness.

I really, really loved this book, you guys. I knew by the bottom of page two that it was probably getting a 10, and then by the end of the chapter, I was afraid I'd have to stop reading it because of The Story of Owen, but I decided there were enough differences that I could keep going (and, frankly, the fact that I came up with some similar ideas without reading this book first indicates that it's just common sense, I think), and I am REALLY glad I did, because I REALLY LOVED THIS BOOK.

10/10, for DRAGONS and AWESOMENESS and CLEVERNESS and for talking about geography and so on.

Fic: The Other Side of Midnight (Sanctuary)

AN: I felt I owed James something a bit happier after Friday. It may have got away from me a little bit. There’s still cuddling though, so it’s not a complete loss.

Spoilers: None, but it’s kind of a tag for Of Mice And Men.

Disclaimer: Clearly, if they were mine, there would be more cuddling.

Rating: Teen

Characters: James Watson, Ashley Magnus

Summary: James woke to the faint creak of his bedroom door, the scrape of oak on old hinges that hadn’t been oiled since the War. There were soft steps on across his bedroom floor, sock feet and a short stride; Ashley, then.
