Everything I love about Silhouette Desires: drama, lots of passion, and an ending that literally had me in tears (happy ones). Emilie Rose's Bound by the Kincaid Baby delivers on the Desire promise with this one.
Nice conclusion to the Raintree series, but a word of warning: Don't read it if you haven't read the other two first.
Overall, I enjoyed Raintree: Sanctuary, but the relationship between Judah and Mercy was more volatile than I usually like. Some of their encounters were too close to rape for my liking.

I love when I find stuff that's free, useful, and pretty. It's rare, but when it happens, it's like magic. That's how Dropbox is.
Ever since I got my laptop, I've had the problem of multiple computers. (Yeah, woe is me, I know. I'm a brat for thinking that's a problem, but let's move on.) If you're a writer like me, you know that writing can happen wherever, and on whatever computer. After a while, you have multiple versions of your document floating around in your email and on your various hard drives, and it gets a little tricky to figure out which one you deleted that awful scene from and which one you fixed a typo in three weeks ago, and how you're going to get them all back together in one coherent manuscript again. If you're not a writer, I'm sure there are other reasons you'd like your documents synced between your various computers... Right?
In any case, Dropbox is the solution to my document syncing problem. You join to get an account, and then you download Dropbox onto each computer you want to sync. Dropbox makes a folder on your hard drive where you simply drag and drop everything you want to sync and it goes to work for you. All your files from one computer match the files on the other computer magically. Ok, well, I'm sure it's not REALLY magic, but it's magic to me. I love it.
Not only that, but Dropbox also allows you to share files publicly with anyone. Just drag files into the Public folder in Dropbox or mark a folder of your own as public. These guys thought of everything!
You only get 2.0 GB of space to play with, but don't bellyache, it's free. 2.0 GB is plenty of room for me to sync all of my documents and Photoshop files and websites.
The other drawback is that right now it's in private beta, but since I love you, my faithful blog readers, the first 9 people who email me get my Dropbox beta invites. Enjoy!

I really enjoyed The Higher Power of Lucky. The author's rich portrayal of the Mojave desert was almost as much fun as the colorful characters. Not sure it would have made me cry when I was 10, but it made me cry now. I think it takes a little more life experience to be so touched by complex emotions like that. Still, I think I would have read the book and enjoyed it at age 10 as well.
It hasn't been that long since I was in school, really. I graduated in 2003 from UNC Chapel Hill. I still remember, you know, classes and labs and studying and group work. I'm pretty sure I'm not that far out of touch about All Things Student.Or at least I was pretty sure, until I showed up at Durham Technical Community College last night for my first class on the way to my web technologies associates degree.
You know, grown-ups are different than students. I always kind of considered myself a grown-up (or at least headed in that direction) when I was an undergrad. But I wasn't. Grown-ups have to worry about stuff like full time jobs and their families and finishing school in a reasonable amount of time. They don't skip class because they're too tired to go, and they don't stop thinking about the money they coughed up for their classes once the check is mailed. They have so many things to think about and so much life to live already that I can't even imagine how some of them manage to do school on top of it. Grown-ups are awesome.
So to all my classmates, I think you're the greatest, and I hope I can be as great a grown-up as you are, if not now, than someday. Thanks for teaching me something even before the instructors could.
