This may be near impossible, but... can anyone recommend a well-written supernatural or paranormal romance novel or series that's actually not hardcore erotica trying to pass as something else? Specifically, a book or series that is not all about vampires or werewolves? Seems like everything in that genre is about vampires and werewolves. Why are vampires and werewolves so sexy? They're not the only supernatural things out there. I'm tired of vampires and werewolves having sex. I want psychics and aliens and faeries and witches and sorcerers and gods having sex.

And speaking of hardcore erotica trying to pass as something else:

These made me giggle for ten minutes straight. I'm filing them away in my What Not To Do When Writing Novels section.

I just made dinner and am waiting for it to cool: Organic whole wheat penne with extra virgin olive oil, grapeseed oil, balsamic vinegar, Smart Balance butter, large black olives, garlic powder, and oregano.
The book in my purse now is PC Cast's Divine By Blood. I hope it's as awesome as people say it is.
I had completely forgotten that I had bought Terry Pratchett's Wintersmith two months ago and had stored in in my dresser. I wonder if I should find the books that come before it first?
After I am done with the PC Cast book, I'll go back to Rachel Caine and reread Firestorm and Thin Air, because the new book in the Weather Warden series, Gale Force, will be out in June. I can only hope things get better for Joanne and David and Lewis. I mean, really. Come on, Rachel, don't go all Terry Goodkind on us and start beating up your heroes in every book.
I have more Nature's Path Acai Apple Granola and Zola Acai Pineapple Juice. I am so in love. But better to be obsessed with a three dollar bottle of exotic fruit juice than a bottle of Mountain Dew *looks at husband*.
The penultimate episode of Smallville's seventh season is tonight. Excited girl is excited.
Excited girl is also excited about tomorrow's Battlestar Galactica. Grr. Argh. I love this show. Rrgh. So frustrating, so excruciating, so beautiful.
