I'm just gonna say now that I'm probably going to be the shittiest commenter ever, maybe this whole break but at least until after Christmas...I'm spending all my day time reading and hanging with the fam, and when I get online at night, I'm reading everything but I'm sort of out of commenting brainspace :( Fail me, I know /o\

But. BOOKS. OMGGG BOOKS.

So. I have always been a gigantic bookworm--I always had a book with me, the only thing I ever got in trouble for was reading under my desk, and I would go through 6 novels a week easy. But since college started, I just haven't had time or inclination--I read so fucking much for class that when I'm done with that, I just want to log on and read some nice happy fanfic.

I remembered Sunshine was one of my favorite books, that book that you can flip open at any time and to any page and go "oooh, I love this book" and settle in for a while. But I started reading it again yesterday and...I forgot how much I love that book. Seriously, if there is a single book I rec to any of you that you decide to read, it should be Sunshine. When I was reading it, I actually saw a lot of parallels to Twilight, and I was kind of like "...people need to read this to find out how some of the basic ideas in Twilight can be AWESOME." My major issue with Stephenie Meyer's work isn't that it's terrible (I think Twilight is okay as a braincandy book), but that when you say "vampire romance" people immediately go "Oh, like Twilight?" NO. NOT LIKE TWILIGHT. Read Sunshine. It's got vampires, spunky heroines, adventure, rambling worldbuilding, and just EPIC EPIC JOY in book form. I love love love that book. ♥xinfinity
