LF’s Blog

Hey Watchers, I just wanted to check if LF has posted anything new and interesting on her blog, but guess what happened: Instead of her blog, there’s an Ejaculation Guru - yes, you’ve read that right. It’s some kind of add I presume and a shady download for said Guru. What happened?! Has she moved her blog? Has it been hacked and hijacked, what’s going on??? Does any of you know?  (◎_◎;)

Blog about books that I’m reading.

Well, I have decided to start a blog that reviews/ talks/ expresses my opinions about the different books that I am reading. I don’t think I am going to have much structure to it at first. Just what I am thinking about what I am reading. The first one I am going to write about is “Fahrenheit 451″ by Ray Bradbury. I’m not actually “reading” this book, it’s an audio-book that I listen to on my way to and from work every day. But it really makes no difference for this purpose. This is post is just the intro. I’ll post the actual post about the book later today. I just doing this for. As a place to record my thoughts and my ideas about the books. Maybe help me to remember what the books are about if I forget later in life. There will probably be spoilers in the posts. I’ll try to notify if there are just in case anybody ever reads these. Well that’s about it.

The Nightrunner Series by Lynn Flewelling

[themultitalentedredhead]

I like the dagger as maybe a nightrunner tattoo. With “Luck in the shadows, and in the light” around the blade.

[themultitalentedredhead]

I am trying to find “Luck in the Shadows and in the light” in aurenfaie, and unfortunate I don’t have time to reread all the books to figure it out. I know it’s said at least once in aurenfaie in the book! Please help! (It’s for my next tattoo)

I’m in a constant state of distress that more people don’t read Nightrunner, and it’s partly because they deserve to be read and partly it’s completely selfish.  I want Nightrunner parties.  I want Nightrunner clothing.  I want to see Nightrunner tattoos on Nightrunner bodies.  I want a Nightrunner webseries.  I want a Nightrunner movie.  I want the Internet to stop telling me that Nightrunner is spelled wrong because it’s forced to recognize Nightrunner as a word because so many people use it so often.  I want to be a Nightrunner girl living in a Nightrunner world.
