Texans and Goths

Hiya everyone, I just saw the calender and saw that summer is dwindling. WTF?! It's August and I realized "Summer goes by fast" except when you're reading because then you're either in Spring, Winter, Paris, or the Underworld (and come on you guys, who doesn't want to be in the Underworld in the Spring) *crickets*

Anyways, I just finished Texas Gothic by Rosemary Clement-Moore and it was pretty fanfreakingtastic. It's got humor, snark, paranormal, a hot cowboy, sassy witches and it will make you snort with laughter (so don't be drinking Caf-Pow* while you're reading this.)

Texas Gothic is about Amy (Amaryllis) Goodnight living in the chaoticness that is the Goodnight family. The Goodnight's are a *big* family of witches (no guys! YEAH) who have an affinity (like Daisy who's a psychic and Amy's sister, Phin, who works well with kitchen magic) but Amy doesn't really have an affinity. And she's glad of it. Amy's the "normal" one in the family of witches that helps maintain the sense of normalcy to the outside world and hides the eccentricity of the Goodnights. So Texas Gothic has Amy and her sister Phin ranch-sitting for their Aunt Hyacinth when one day an unfortunate accident (the goats Taco and Gordita in a tree...) has Amy meeting the neighbor, who is the Hot Cowboy, Ben. But soon after the goat incident, a ghost gets through their Aunt's protections and starts haunting the ranch and Amy. Without giving too much away, Amy and Phin are then involved with another local ghost story in their town and they have to be solved the mystery.

Texas Gothic was.... amazing. Snarkily delicious. Hot. I didn't dislike anything about this book and that's pretty awesome (well except for Emery...) and I also LOVED that Clement-Moore has women in the field (of science, anthropology) which leads me to the whole girl-power thing is KA-POW. I loved how the Goodnight women were there for each other and could hold their own (Daisy, I love you. No seriously, you dress like Abby and I think Abby is schmazing).

Confessions of a (Teenage) Geek: Geek Tuesdays

1. I think I'll do a list for today's blog post.
2. So continuing off from the past weeks, Geek Posts I think I should mention again: I'm a HUGE Whedon fan. It's actually ridiculous and that I came up with a song for author Beth Revis. I'll link it soon.
3. I might also add, I'm a HUGE SMG (sarah michelle gellar) fan, that I am SO EXCITED FOR RINGER. and that new Buffy movie in talks. I IZ EXCITED!
4. Believe it or not, I found a new obsession called Lost Girl (for like 18-25 but yanno, age doesn't stop me)
5. It's. SO. GOOD. it messes with my psyche every freaking week.
6. GAH!!!!!!!!
7. I keep going back to Etsy to stare longingly towards all the steampunk stuff. *longing stare*
8. DOCTOR WHO KEEPS GETTING SO AMAZING I MIGHT DIE.
9. The Iron Fey series mocks me ,but I GET 3 DAYS OFF SO HAH!
10. I should probably continue my homework during my free track but I'm blogging, so HAH.

Confession of a (Teenage) Geek: Geek Tuesday's

HOLY CRAP I HAVEN'T POSTED IN A WEEK. I blame the internet which I have not had since like last week but no fear, today's geek post is here!!!

1) Teen Wolf isn't on today,I find that super depressing. Thank god for Tumblr though because they feel my pain. *stares at downloads to finish so teen wolf can be on my iPod*

2) Bloodlines by Richelle Mead came out today. I. AM. SO. EXCITED.

3) So, re-watching Angel yesterday, I realized that sparked my obsession with vampires. But not just any kind, I'm talking being able to stake 'em and burn them in the sun. Also, Cordy was the BOMB!

4) Warehouse 13 and Eureka have taken up space on my computer. I regret nothing.

So while Geek Tuesday was short, tomorrow Books will be back!!!!!! With Texas Gothic.

Confessions of a (Teenage) Geek: Geek Tuesdays

My priorities are screwed. I'm SORRY BUT MY DVR CALLS TO ME!!!

but anyway I blame my obsession with Monday nights (like EUREKA, and WAREHOUSE 13 and TEEN WOLF?!) is exactly like my obsession with Thursday's and Friday's. But right now is Geek Tuesday's where I say what makes me scream with fangirlishness that rivals those "Twi-peoples" obsession.

1. I know the words to the entire musical episode of Buffy Once More, With Feeling. Like, if you ask me, I can break into "I Got a Theory/Bunnies/If We're Together"

2. The SYFY channel also makes me scream with delight every time I turn on the TV.

3. I went to Comic Con like two years ago and saw Supernatural on their panel. I went and the peoples found me awesome because I KNEW EVERYTHING ABOUT THE SHOW. It was awesome.

4. I have playlists FOR EVERYTHING. Don't see how this is weird but I have a playlist for cleaning. IT'S WEIRD.

5. I have an obsession with any show that is Supernatural. MTV's Teen Wolf, Vampire Diaries (!!!), Supernatural, Pretty Little Liars, Smallville, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Torchwood, Firefly, Doctor Who.

6. Despite the list, only Doctor Who makes me want to go find a Time Lord and a TARDIS and have epic adventures.

7. Torchwood (adult show, tread carefully) makes me want to fight aliens and Captain Jack Harkness is totally swoon worthy. *cough*

7*. That being said, the main cast of Torchwood looked ridiculously good. Especially Ianto and Owen. God, I love them.

8. Only three episodes of Buffy were able to make me cry, Passion, Helpless, and Seeing Red. They're just... *bawls*

9. I saw Firefly when I was 5-6. I didn't understand it then 'till I was 12 and had Netflix and understood it. BUT YEAHH FIREFLY!

10. When I was a wee little child, my brother and sister introduced me to video games specifically the Final Fantasy franchise and Kingdom Hearts. In KH2, there was an organization called Organization 13 and I REALLY BADLY WANTED THIS COAT. And yearn for. I adore it that much.

Anything that makes you scream with joy? Or just something that was always in your life, post it on your blog and link it in the comments if you want.
