Reading.....

I love George R.R. Martin. The way he can string together a few words and paint a picture in my head amazes me. I am a full on fangirl when it comes to reading his fire and ice series; I spout family words, recognize sigils and argue conspiracy theories with fellow fans boys and girls.

Knowing how much I enjoy his writing has led me to his other works and short stories which often combine paranormal and science fiction. His Fevre Dream is a great read with an interesting take on vampirism. His short story, skin walker from Night Visons 5 is supposedly one of the best werewolf tales ever written. So, I being the obsessive fangirl, black girl nerd, or BGN have been on the hunt for this book since I finished the last S.4.F.&I, almost two years ago.

NV5 is not offered on Kindle and I am completely opposed to ever buying an actual book again. One, I really hate dusting and having books on my shelves just makes more work. Two, I like that I can carry my books with me wherever I go in case I need to re-read a passage, or Hulk out on some loser that challenges my knowledge of a particular book. Three, I hate all the necessities that go along with reading a physical book, like light (Kindle HD has a backlight), turning noisy pages (hubby complains that I'm making too much noise) and the inevitable stain that ruins the pages. Yes, I eat and read. Don't JUDGE!

So.......

I finally found the story in a George RR anthology, Dreamsongs II and the library let me borrow it! Yay!! Fist pumps and happy dance!!! "No, I'm not having seizure" Hubby asks me the strangest questions sometimes :)
