I survived...

 My time leading the department is over (my manager was on vacation). The six days stretch was grueling,  especially as the first four days were ten hours each. I'm so tired (and the passive-aggressiveness today didn't help. I told her that I couldn't get everything done and I was so far behind and I apologized every time she came in and she said it was all ok, but she was still angry at me today). 

But I was reading the new issue of S2B2 today and thought I'd share. 

A beginner's guide to stealing home is cute and sweet, but isn't a Happily Ever After. It's a good read anyway. He wasn't really in a place to receive a HEA, not being out about either his sexuality or where he worked. But maybe, post story, he'll find someone even better.

The Ultimate guide to beating your rival is two pages long and the characters are very believable. They get a HEA and although they'll probably face other hardships in the future, they'll overcome them.

True North was not my thing. Lots of blood sacrifices and heart-eating gods. They'll be together someday. When one eats the other's heart. Or takes their soul. Or something.

The Hail Mary is so good. I laughed a few times and my eyes hurt from when I teared up. So good. The writing was a little odd (Third person present, and some weird phrasing, such as teared instead of tore) but that didn't really distract from the story. I think I'm going to read it again tomorrow. Or I might make myself wait until I've read the rest. 


It's past bedtime and my house is too hot to sleep.  And it's supposed to get broiling outside by the end of the week. But I have nowhere to go tomorrow.
