a book!

llGuilty Pleasures, by Laurell Hamilton. Yay dark fantasy chick lit! Yes, some people might look at it and think "silly" (re: it being derided on the way home from Buckeye the other weekend), but it certainly doesn't take itself too seriously and is easy to read. Hamilton's Anita Blake is a fine character in the Stephanie Plum tradition, but with much more of an edge to her, and yet with that same quirkiness and uncertainty that makes for the charm. And I love what she's doing with her expanded setting, it's able to do stuff using the entirety of its setting that, say, my other favorite (White Wolf Publishing) is only able to do with an apocalypse - for example, stuff like making the monsters 'public,' and making the supernatural mainstream without resorting to extremes.
