I wish I could read The Darkest Torment (Lords of the Underworld #12) by Gena Showalter, but…: 

19 of the 55 (at the moment) books that I have read this year have been in anticipation for this book. I re-read 11 Lords of the Underworld books and finally got around to reading Lords of the Underworld #11 The Darkest Touch for the first time and I read the entire companion series (3 novels) Angels of the Dark so that the entire story would be fresh in my mind for this one. I've been SO pumped for this book, because it's FINALLY Baden's story, which I have been wanting to hear since like book 5! But then it came out at the end of May, and it only came out in hardcover...all of the other books I own in LotU/AoD are mass market paperbacks. I can't have one as a hardcover, it's different when I buy a series I'm not really big into because I'm just trying to get all the books cheaply at that point but with a series I am really into like this series, or my HP novels, or my Rick Riordan ones, for example, having matching formats matters to me. So to bide my time while waiting I decided to reads all 4 books in her Atlantis series too.

Now I am stuck waiting until November 22 for the mass market to be released. At which point I may as well wait another month or so and use my christmas money/gift cards/rewards points for it the same way I did last year to buy all the other LotU/AoD novels...*heaves a put upon sigh and pouts* I'll stop whining about my first world problems now. Except I want to say just one more thing. Because of my impatience I did a stupid thing and read some of the Goodreads reviews a few months back...and now I'm not even as excited for it because from what I can tell, compared to what I had imagined on my own, she has butchered poor Baden's story.

          THIS WEEK’S RANDOM QUESTION:  Write out a description of your life, as if it were a book’s description.

In a world where travel between countries is almost prohibitively expensive and immigration nearly impossible; meet two best friends, soul mates who are separated by a vast ocean as well as multiple borders, time zones and governments. Follow them as they do whatever it takes to spend time together. For fifteen years they've found any way they can to eek out time to talk to each other plotting and planning for the day they can finally live in the same place. By day one works in a call centre the other a university library, by night they come together thanks to the glory of the internet to talk about anything and everything and indulge in their hobbies, those they share and those they don't (though the former out number the latter to be sure.).
