This book is clearly put up to intimidate me, and no, actually, there have been no surprise repercussions from my drunken reviews.  Whether or not I choose to continue them depends on how long I want my reviews to be, and how much I like the alcohol I have on hand.   

Day 5 - A book that makes you happy:

• Mats Jonsson - Hey Princess. "Hey Princess is a story of moving to the big city, and being young, insecure, and desperate to be at least as hip as everyone else." It's written like a comic book and very Swedish and really fun.

• Patrick Rothfuss - The Name of the Wind (The Kingkiller Chronicle 01).

Day 2 - A book that you've read more than 3 times:

• C.S. Lewis - The Chronicles of Narnia. I'm not really someone that likes to reread, unless it's been a very long time since I last read it or i'm reading it in a different language than before.

Day 1 - Best book you read last year:

• Brandon Sanderson - Mistborn. I loved the whole series, some of the best books i've ever read.

Last week the STGRB started sending out web spiders (a.k.a. web crawlers) to crawl our new Booklikes blogs.  This was the notification I got from my IP tracking software when they tried to hit mine:

So why are they telling their adoring, but oh-so-clueless, supporters that they are not following us, when they know full well they have set up a database back-end to store our user content, and have web crawlers to capture it?

You may be familiar with the following: the Strong, Independent Female Protagonist is our little speshul snowflake. She has an ability that others would be in awe of, but she humbly just wants to be normal. She is thrown together with a guy she can’t take her eyes off, on a guy who makes her lady parts tingle, on the sexy guy with the walnut hair, the ripped abs, the piercing drowning ocean blue eyes. They may meet up with a Tall Dark and incredibly Handsome bad boy, with a body piercing in a discreet location and only hints of tattoos (of course, not covering the most beautiful parts of his body – the abs and the face), who tells them their plan for the salvation of the human race is silly and will never work, but agrees to help them out anyway. Together, this trio has to face danger and some sort of evil, and our heroes must rescue our special snowflake at least a couple times, just to facilitate the chaste nuzzling that makes our Strong, Independent Female Protagonist realize her real question. That is: which of these two adorable men should she be eternally in love with?
