tt_lisaHappy New Year! Seems a bit odd to be saying that when it's over 25 bloody degrees outside, but there you have it. It's 2002. And how did I celebrate? I stayed in! Believe it or not! With all the new restaurants and clubs opening, I actually took a night off; Paul, the cook at the Pub, said he didn't mind running things for the night, seeing as it was going to be quiet anyway, and seeing as I run his lunch shifts without complaint, being the boss and all. And so I headed home as soon as we'd sent the last of the fixings off to Shacklebolt's for the night!
I took a long, cool shower (can't imagine anything else here), made myself some tea (my 'secret stash' from London, I've only got a little bit left from before I came over, but it's still delicious), and sat with a good romance novel all night long. I think I may have even been asleep before the big countdown. Mum & Dad even let me off the hook for the night, sending me just a short hello via datapad. How lucky am I?
So, this book I'm reading, I found it here in the datapad's general library. The lucky girl finds out shes a witch (imagine her surprise!) and then spends the whole series leading a magical army and trying to decide between the roguish but passionate warlock and the seemingly too good to be true vampire. Can you imagine? I wish! A warlock, a vampire, romance! Obviously, we could all do without war and battles and magical duels, we've had our share of that and then some, but to be swept off my feet by a handsome hero? Whoever was handing that out skimped on me, that's for sure.
