WWW Wednesday

WWW Wednesday 9/11/13

www_wednesdays44WWW WEDNESDAYS… is a weekly meme hosted by Miz B of “Should Be Reading”, where you share: (1)What you’re currently reading, (2)What you recently finished reading, and (3)What you think you’ll read next.

As I am only contributing to this meme on a monthly basis, while comments and shares are welcomed here, be sure to visit Should Be Reading each week to see who’s reading what.

1. What am I currently reading?

I’m loving Sacrifice just as I thought I would, but I’ve managed, as usual, to prolong completing it by piling on other reads in the process. I’ve been in a weird mood of trying new and different things, and while I’m liking it so far, I’ll have to grab a good fantasy read soon. (Bridge of Deaths, Chasing the Avatar, Pride and Prejudice)

2. What did I recently finish reading?

Two down in the Dryad Quartet so no sense in stopping now. I’ll have to find a copy of the next one at some point. I started and finished the Grim Fairy Tales and Mercury Falls much quicker than I had expected and I, of course, breezed right through Batman: Death Mask.

3. What do I think I’ll read next?

I’m going to give Seraphina another try. I started this book before and enjoyed what I read, but somehow got pulled away from it and just never went back. I’m going to start from scratch and give this book the attention I hope it deserves. Artemis Fowl, The Woodcutter, The Guardian’s Apprentice, and Angels Without Wings have interesting covers and blurbs that may entice me into picking up at least one of them up fairly soon.

Character Files from the ToiBox 26: Rebecca aka Becca – Bio

FM-B

nofemaleBiography:  Subject FM 1-Becca

Rebecca Tinsdale is born to a wealthy family that eventually breaks up and teaches her first lesson on life, nothing lasts forever. Rebecca is not an optimist, but she’s also definitely not a pessimist. Seeing her parents divorce at a young age didn’t cause her to disbelieve in love, but losing the one man she ever loved, did.

Rebecca is surrounded by people who love and adore her and as long as no one speaks of romance, she’s happy. She’s a devoted daughter, sister, and niece, and even though she’s been in a steady relationship for about seven years, she knows it isn’t love and has no intention of getting married. Of course her intentions account for nothing when her beau goes and asks her to marry him.

Luckily for Rebecca she has a best friend who’s always there to help her keep a grip on reality. Rebecca has a lot to deal with: family drama, friend drama, and now relationship drama, but she handles it all with grace. Turning thirty didn’t get her down in the dumps. What it did do was give her a sense of needing to settle down, not that she was moving that fast. The only problem now is decided who to settle down with.

Thank you for taking the time to read this post. If you like it let me know and share it with others. See you next time, Toi Thomas. #thetoiboxofwords

You’re going to see tons of superheroes in these posts, so go ahead and accept it now.

It’s no secret that I have a thing for superheroes, but why is it that I like D.C. and the JLA so much? They are not the only dynamic group of heroes, all coming from different backgrounds and experiences to unite and fight against evil, but there is something unique about them. The D.C. Universe is one of my favorite alternate realities. All the people and place are similar to reality, but there’s no real sense of true danger. I don’t have to worry about what happens if Darksied attacks Metropolis because it’s not a real place.

In my writing I like to blur fiction and reality. I include places that really exist along with places I’ve made up. That’s doesn’t mean that I won’t be creating other worlds of my own. I will, just not in the Eternal Curse Series.

Please visit the Eternal Curse Series blog to see previous My Geekdom posts you may have missed.
