Muppets, Puppets and Queen

So it all began when the Muppets posted their rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody on their youtube account.

 
Of course, the Avenue Q cast could not let that go unchallenged. And thus we have We Will Rock Q.

 
And then finally, my mother yesterday sent me this:

 
So there you have it: Muppets, Puppets and Queen. What do you think?

I Think I Shall Spirit Myself Away

I’m not a faerie but I need more than this life so I became
This creature representing more to you than just another girl
And if I had a chance to change my mind I wouldn’t for the world

Swallow by Emilie Autumn

So I have been thinking about what I want to read over the summer/next few months/year and I have come up with something that is either going to be very fun or very… not. I have a lot of faerie books on my shelves, many of which I have yet to read – there are at least five series I can name off the top of my head1 that I have read one or more books of but have not finished (even though, in the cases of some, I own the next book, if not the whole series).

So, since I am in the mood for lots and lots of faerie stuff, and it has been a long time since I have read books in some of these series, I have decided to make it a little project.

The project basically boils down to:

That’s right. I am going to see if I can READ ALL THE FAERIE BOOKS. ALL OF THEM.

Well, not exactly, but you get my point. Not all this reading will be in a row – I will be reading other types of fiction, of course – but I will do my best to make sure that series will be read one after the other. It will be an interesting experiment to see how it’s like to that2. After I finish a series I’ll post my thoughts on it; it won’t be an official review but it will be something.

I have started to make a list of books I would like to (re)read. Most of these I already have and several I have already read, but there are also ones I will have to acquire in some way (purchase or library, basically). There will obviously be ones that I have missed, so if you have any suggestions (or want clarification on which ones have been read/I own etc.) comment away. :)

Behold the list! »

  1. Wicked Lovely, Tithe, Iron Court, Soul Screamers and Wondrous Strange []
  2. I haven’t done that in years – mostly it’s been books one and two and then wait for the third to be released []

If Vi Had A Facebook…

So in my NaNo region forum someone posted one of those “if your character updated their Facebook status right now, what would it be?” threads. Although Viola would not have a Facebook and would not update this for several reasons, this is how it probably would go.
