Out of nowhere today, I remembered a book I read ages ago. I wanna say I was in Jr High and I found it in the library. I don't remember the title, but it was your standard plucky heroine saves a wild horse that's too much for her story. But the girl was also a witch? Or learning to be one. And the horse was really a gunslinger or something that had been cursed in the shape of a horse. So he could finally be tamed by a woman?

Which? Looking back? Hm.

Now here's the thing, there was all kind of weird, vaguely sexy descriptions of both man and horse, which is still pretty par for the course for a book a teenage girl would like. I think she has to seduce him away from the witch who cursed him, but there was also something about her father that made it even weirder.

Usually when I remember a book like that, I think I'll track it down on Amazon and read it again. This time? Not so much.

Things are a little better here these days. Turns out I thrive in a hermit situation. And am now forbidden to be closer than six feet from the person who had been making me so miserable. So I'm sorry everyone else has to suffer with me, but I'm kind of glad to have some time to myself.

I should've known that things weren't going too well for me when I stopped reading and drawing and other things that used to be all I wanted to do. I blamed it on stress and the classes and the job, but it didn't get any better when those things changed. Now the job is worse, the classes are over for now, and the stress is the new normal, but I was determined to take back my own interests. So, I did make it through the 50 books this year. My To-Be Read pile is pretty big thanks to the two year backlog of barely reading, but I'm working on it.

This year dies tonight, and I can't be anything but relieved. The dread/hope of what the coming year will be can start tomorrow.

Things I Learned Once Again Today:

1. People on a budget should NOT go to book stores.

2. I'm the reason the Barnes and Noble doesn't have carts. If it's too heavy to carry, I've chosen TOO MANY.

3. I probably can't afford more books than I can carry anyway.

4. Stay the hell AWAY from the chocolate cake/oreo layered dessert in the coffee corner and that goes for the pumpkin pie eggnog too. I get weighed in TOMORROW.


In news unrelated to my bibliomania, I finished two fics today. They were both started two years ago for a Halloween prompt and a random November prompt and are just now being completed. Better late than never!
