Sunday Ramblings...Feeling Domestic????

I am feeling extremely domestic today, don't know why, haven't felt that way in a while.  I woke up in a great mood and started an awesome book (check out Mystical Lit Lounge on FB for the deets) and Z-man, my cuddle bug, came and cuddled with me this morning or maybe the meds are just working the way they need to be, who knows maybe I am just in a good mood which is rare.

But you all know my moods can turn in an instant especially with two bickering boys around who won't do what I say. 

What I am trying to read this week:

  

Fan Fic Rec's 

 

Tomorrow is Music Monday, anyone have any great music suggestions for me?

And last but not least:

Sorry had to do it 'cause you all know I love him?

It's Fan Fic Friday...

I know I missed last week and I am really sorry.  I am making up for it today though.

First up is  The Gentleman From Washington State by Betty Smith.  This story owns me right now.  Nothing beats Navy Seal SenatorWard for me, ummm that just conjures up all kinds of yummy images.  This is a little West Wingish which I loved. Senator Cullen is kind of a Manwhore until Feisty Intern Bella Swan comes into the picture turning his well planned out world upside down.  Add a Jealous Jacob Black and you got a great Political Drama with some sexy times mixed in.

Summary: Senator Edward Cullen is the handsome scion of the Cullen family. A playboy's playboy, he is taken with an intern in his office, Bella Swan. She is untouchable for many reasons, and he's in a tough re-election battle with Jacob Black. AH,M Adult Content

Beautiful Stranger by NJNYTwigals is a story about a one night stand that Bella or Edward could not forget about.  Edward and Bella are both single parents to adorable little girls who become good friends and once B and E figure out who each other are there is no denying the attraction.

Summary:  Newly divorced and single mom Bella decides it's time to let loose and have some fun at her friend's Halloween party. After an encounter with an alluring stranger, Bella's life turns upside down. AH-Cannon Couples. A one-shot turned multi-chapter.


The Weight of Words by georgeygirl is kind of like UoEM but with its own twists and turns.  Edward is Bella's TA for a Shakespeare class and she also works for Edwards Dad as his assistant. They meet and of course instant attraction ensues but the complication of starting a relationship with all kinds of obstacles in the way leads them to lay down some ground rule which they seem adamant to break.

Summary:  Bella is in the final months as an undergrad student at U of T. When she meets the PhD candidate who will be the TA of her senior Shakespeare course, her world is turned on end . What do you do when the only man you want is the one you can't have?

Well those are my recommendations for this week, happy reading.  If you like Paranormal Romances check out my other site for mine and my friend Kim's twice weekly Book Club Podcast The Mystical Lit Lounge.  This month we are reading City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare, the second book in The Mortal Instruments Series.

Fan Fiction Recomendation Wednesday...

It is Sick Bella Day on Rants Raves and Recipes today.  I am recommending Fics where Bella is ill or lost her memory.

First up is Don't Forget To Remember Me by Oliviamk1218.  This is one of my Favorites to read, The love between B and E gets a little mushy but sometimes that is better that all the angst I like to read.  B and E meet in college and immediately fall into a wonderful friendship but are too scared to take it to the next level thinking it would ruin their relationship.

Twilighted Summary:Edward and Bella met at college and are best friends. Edward goes to med. school and Bella gets a job that takes her away from him, but they remain close and discover a deep love for each other. An accident causes Bella to lose her memory and Edward struggles with the loss he feels, desperately tries to help her rediscover their love and all they meant to each other.  Can her heart and soul remember him, even if her mind doesn't?


WINNER INDIE TWIFIC AWARDS- BEST AH That Knocks You Off Of Your Feet - WIP!   




Next is Six Different Ways Inside My Heart by April09.  This is a Bella and Edward story where Bella has Leukemia and she meets Edward in the hospital after he has knee surgery but he has a secret all of his own.  

 Twilighted Summary: A story about love, about death, about keeping secrets, and dealing with the consequences.  Bella and Edward meet at a hospital when she is diagnosed with a life threatening disease and he is recovering from knee surgery.  She confides her fears to him; he changes his life because of her.  This is a story about their journey through the confusion, awkwardness, pain, and beauty of first love.








Last but not least Ladder to the Sun by Rosybud.  I fell in love with this story and sat down to read all the chapters that are published in one night.  Bella has an incurable cancer and has a year to live.  She want to live it to the fullest and not take anything for granted anymore, so she quits her boring Library job and moves in with the eccentric Alice Brandon and meets the subject of town gossip Edward Masen.

Twilighted Summary:  How can you die when you've never really lived? That's the problem Bella Swan faces when an incurable disease leaves her with just twelve months to live. Can she make up for twenty six unhappy years in the short time she has left... and maybe find a little love along the way? EXB
