Sleepy Rambling #2

Alright readers and just awesome people who read my ramblings. I just wanted to let you know I'll be reading Set in Stone by psyche001 Summary: From within the night's secret shadows,a beautiful winged creature falls for a human girl. She is forbidden fruit in his world but still,he crosses the line to save her life.What happens when their worlds collide & she discovers his horrible fate? AU/M/BXE


You can read along with me or check in with me later to see what I think about this one. This was the selection for the Denver fanfic meet up part 2 aka Denver FanFiction Peeps. Yeah I didn't rec one because my brain seized but I will the next month. I hope its good but its looking really fantasy based and you know I'm a fantasy snob so I'm pretty excited to dive into it.


Well don't be surprised if I put my reading on hold until I start and finish. There's nothing worse than someone showing up for a book club meeting and they haven't read the material. Personally I would just chicken out and not come. (that's true!) Anyway, I'm reading it and plan on finishing so I don't become that person who shows up with the oh shit don't ask me a question look.


Yep, I have no excuse for not reading it. Hell I'm not even working and I have no children. No damn excuse ain't that sad lol. Well I'm going to bed now because I have to go to Whole Foods tomorrow well today.


Be safe out there,
L4J

Sleepy Ramblings

At the moment I'm reading two stories. I'm reading There Will Be Blood by johnnyboy7, whic was rec'ed to me for the past two months by @tropicaltherani every time it crosses her mind. I love her by the way. She's as passionate about fanfiction as I am. I think she's worse because she won't even read a book anymore lol. Anyway the second story I'm reading is Voice for Me by PachasPickMeUp rec'd by Althea Jams blog. She gives good rec by the way. I love her descriptions and summaries of the stories.


Two different stories both E/B both have me very interested for totally different reasons but that's a whole different story.


I beta'ed chapter six of My Boyfriend's Jeans for Ilovetwilight79. I pre-read a story for its-rpattz-baby and its freaking hot. Hopefully that story will stay in the forefront of her brain because I like a lot. Also I plan on finally finally pre-reading Cullen Technologies Inc by Silk and Steel this week thank God! I love it but I don't remember that I'm suppose to do it until I get sleepy like I am now.


Oh I forgot to tell you guys I went to Denver Fanfic meet up last month on October 20th. It was so cool. After wolvescaneatme volunteered to give me a ride to and from. Yes, she's awesome! Anyway, we went to the Cheesecake Factory and the food was okay but I don't go there for the food I go there for the cheesecake and the it was the bomb. Seriously.


Good times were had and I lost my name tag so many times I stopped looking for it. Then I found it on the ground before we all left funny, huh? It's true I blame it on being left handed and all but I'm sure it was because I wasn't paying attention to it. Well, I need to get a job since I have no car I know right boooo!


I'm going to try and read some of the Denver authors that hold down the Mile High City for twilight fanfiction. I don't know why I just typed that like they are the mob or something? I'm gonna blame JB haha. Alright that's enough of that. Next subject.


So I'm volunteering at a non-profit until I find a job which will then probably impose on my volunteer work that's what usually happens. Anyway, time to end this long ass post and get some sleep. Maybe I'll update y'all tomorrow if your interested? If not, I might do it for myself. So there! lol. 


Who loves you baby? I do! I hope you enjoyed this little peek into my twisted fanfiction addicted or maybe its obsessed world and I didn't freak you out lol.


Peace be safe out there!


L4J out!

THE Chapter 30 Teaser

I turned my back and walked up the driveway to the front door, listening as his car pulled away from the curb with a loud screech and flew down the street. I froze in place, caught my breath to fight that lingering unease in my chest and entered the house.

Phil was home but Renee wasn’t. I considered by passing him up to my room without a word but he caught me just as my foot found the first step.

“Hi Bella.” I turned to the sound of his voice and didn’t even bother to hide my emotions.

“Hey,” I replied dryly. I didn’t make a move from the steps. I needed to be alone as soon as possible.

“How was your night?” he asked casually, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.

I paused as visions of the night before flashed through my mind. I fought back the tears that were threatening to spill at the turn of events and replied with a mumbled and unenthusiastic “Fine.”

“I’m heading out in just a bit anyways... have a few errands to run.” He stated to my disinterest. I nodded mutely before turning back toward the stairs and hurrying up to my room.

Once inside, I shut the door and threw myself onto my bed, collapsing like an old rag doll as I nuzzled my face into the pillow where I lay on my stomach. I wanted nothing more than to escape the world and its negatives for a few hours.

I switched my phone off, not in the mood for being disturbed, grabbed my iPod and stuffed the ear phones into my ears. I switched it onto shuffle, turned up the music and curled into my bed, surrendering myself completely to the natural pull of sleep.



L4J Note: I'm currently beta'ing this chapter and I can't wait to read it. Oh shit, wtf is going on with Bella? Let's keep it real she never goes radio silent. I'm hoping Edward didn't fuck something up?! Damn it these two I tell ya. Until next time, you know I love you guys. Be good out there okay be as good as you can be lol. Peace.
