Susan Hated Literature

Author: Kelley Armstrong
ISBN: 1841493414
Book 5 in the Otherworld series
DDC: 813.6

Eva Levine is a half-demon half-witch who also happens to be dead. She’s not in heaven, not in hell, just in the afterlife. Or at least the one that supernatural beings go to after they die. She is also a little preoccupied with keeping an eye on her daughter, Savannah, although being dead she has no way at all of protecting her, talking to her, or ever getting in contact.

And now she has to repay a favour to The Fates by tracking down an escapee known as The Nix.

This is a very enjoyable read, full of humour it is a quick, light read. It is almost a standalone, and could be read without any knowledge of the previous books in the series. Although events in the other books are refered to, so having read them will help your understanding.

Personally I still prefer the two Elena-centred books, but this is every bit as good as the Paige ones and well worth a read.

Remember Mr. Library man? Do ye? Well he gave me a call. Person who they offered the job to turned it down. I didn’t ask why. So… yes, he offered it to me.

I haven’t quite accepted yet, well I have pretty much, but tomorrow I go chat with him and get a little trained in round the library. So once all that checks out I’ll be moving to a new job.

Money isn’t great, compared to most librarians, but it is a small library, and I’ll be the boss.

Here’s hoping I don’t get any weirdness when I pay my visit tomorrow

Edited to add: Peoples, I want a list of questions I should be asking tomorrow. Bear in mind I’ll be running the library, and they are changing their management system pretty soon. Doesn’t matter whether or not you have any experience in a library though. Just throw some queries my way. Otherwise I’ll forget to ask him anything and be on the phone telling peoples about my new job when I know nothing about it.

EDIT: I forgot to tag other people. So instead I’m tagging you. If you are reading this you are “bound by law” to reply with your own list in the comment section, ot to let me know you’ve filled it out.
Okay, not bound by law. If you wanna you can. happy now?

Been tagged again I have, this time by weenie who wants to know the ten songs going round my head.

1. Jayne’s Song - from Firefly. Also known as the Hero of Canton.

I just really like going around humming this one. Its great, and very singable.

2. You and Your Sister - This Mortal Coil

Probably because I’ve just listened to it, so it is fresh in my mind

3. You cut her hair - Tom McRae

My fav song at the moment. I could listen to it on repeat all day. And actually have stuck it on repeat for my walk to and from work on occasion. I will find you still, move in for the kill, you cut her hair

4. Viva La Quinte Brigada - Christy Moore

This is just a great one for singing along to.

5. My doorbell - The White Stripes

Ray played this on the radio quite a bit. He seems to have stopped, but I still love it.

6. Weak - Skunk Anansie

Nothing like screamin away while listening to this one No tears for you

7. Time of the Season - The Zombies

I just really like this song. It might be floating around my brain because it was used in Dear Wendy

8. El Picador - Calexico

which is surprising cause there are no lyrics which makes it hard to sing

9. Óró, Sé Do Bheatha ‘Bhaile - Sinead O’Connor

Nothing like it

10. Glamour Girl - Chick On Speed

I just love these lyrics

Course the reason most of these are stuck in my head is because they are on Jean^[1] and so being played over and over again

Only three left in it now. Cork were well beaten by Kerry, who now have to wait for the winners of the match between Armagh and Tyrone. I seem to have developed a habit of supporting the losing team. I wanted Dublin to win this weekend, and they lost. Same with Cork. Previously I was cheering Laois. They won at first, but then lost.

So, I have to choose between Armagh and Tyrone now. I think I’ll go for Armagh, but I know that in the final I’ll be cheering for Kerry. Afterall, they do have the Gooch.

There are times in life when one really despairs of mankind^[1] . Today I went to see The Dukes of Hazzard. In a way I was looking for a shite film. I mean, after Serenity any film was bound to suffer, but OMFG Dukes is the worst excuse for entertainment I have seen in a long long long long long^[2] time. It has nothing at all that could possibly redeem it.

But boring and shite as it was there was one good thing about my trip to the kino tonight…

They played the trailer for Serenity

Can I get a W00T!!!!! But I still don’t like that I gotta wait till Oct before I can go see it again. Life is so unfair.

• Johnny Knoxville …. Luke Duke
• Seann William Scott …. Bo Duke

This doesn’t even deserve the title of film. A film has a story, a plot, characters! It entertains. This, this monster is just plain boring. Worst film ever! Yes, I’ve seen The Avengers, and The Pacifier. This thing is worse than anything I’ve seen

Not even the car chases were entertaining. Piece of crap.

No more needs to be said.
