Over on my blog, I posted a Sentence Sunday request, & as I was reading the replies today, I thought I'd post here too. (x-post from my blog ) For those of you new to this game, here's how it works...sometimes for writing,  Alana has me "peace is at the edge of the ocean" feeling. Your Turn Anyone care to share a paragraph that captures a feeling you've felt or a setting you've loved? Melissa Marr

(Original post with links and a poll on tattoos at http://randomminutiae.blogspot.com Please stop by for the poll. I've been so long away from LJ I forgot how to link) Yesterday I finally met with Cynthia...canvas. I'm already planning another one, much larger, starting at my back and "wind" blowing it around my torso. She has such impressive ideas. The work is in the waiting! It's going to be beautiful!

One small piece of advice: after declaring Apollo as a patron, do not then state that you haven't worn sunscreen since July, and therefore have no need of it at the end of August. This is foolish.

Um. Thank you author, for your blatant bias and superstition. I'll just resume my summer reading, shall I?

So anyway, Aislinn spends half the book drooling over...Inuyasha drew away from me, looking as if I was the most pathetic thing he'd ever seen. I gritted my teeth at that look. "Don't you know anything?" he asked scornfully. "I'm not some lousy human!"

So, Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr. I picked this up last winter, and positively devoured it... until it tricked to an end, and I wondered why the heck I'd bothered. See, Marr is good at premises and world...hanging out with a faerie that meets her for the first time in Ink Exchange. Um. And Ink Exchange is obviously *after* Wicked Lovely. So. Confused. You suck sometimes, Melissa Marr. I will return late

See, Marr is good at premises and world... Momentary pause of Sue Analysis so I can explain the plot. Keenan can't utilize all his powers as Summer King until he finds the Summer Queen, who is going to be mortal because... um, I don't know
