Book

[hypatia42]

Last Thursday I worked. It was pretty slow for foot traffic though the big boss man reassured me that the sale were really good for the day.

I read a book. I finished the book. Mmmmm, book.

The Enchantment Emporium. Tanya Huff.

I may need to own it. I really hope she writes more in this world. There are aspects of this book that are really upsetting to some people. Most of those aspects I am really fond of. The treatment of sex frex. Not taboo. Not bad. Not shameful. Just another part of life, like eating and sleeping.

One habit of the main character was drawing charms on people that effectively said "MINE." I understand this impulse recently. Maybe I'm just getting to an age where I feel like I need to mark mine. A name tag of sorts, or perhaps a warning label. "No really. Don't fuck with this one. It comes with bigger consequences than you wanna deal with." Its not even a mine and only mine thing. I'm not selfishly possessive. Maybe I'm just tired of mine getting hurt. I won't do this. Everbody has their lessons to learna dn getting hurt is part of it. But wow is it tempting. MINE!

Is that the one with dragons, and the aunties?

[libwitch.livejournal.com]

Yes. And the cousins and horns, and.....

[hypatia42.livejournal.com]

Yes.

I'd like to see what you'd use to indicate "yours".
It's surprising how much info can hide inside of a sigil.

This was one of the books I read while with my family in Vegas. I also really enjoyed it. And, wait, I'm pretty sure I've seen "MINE" on some of your loved ones :)

No, that's just glitter.

[hypatia42.livejournal.com]

Oh? What did it look like?

[libwitch.livejournal.com]

somehow, it would include leather.

[hypatia42.livejournal.com]

Duuude! The leather pants were taunting me! Not the other way around.

I should have know you were going second circle, they tend to get possessive...

I am not being possessive!

You have marked every male you have came into contact with MINE.

Oh well, uh...

That was a good book...even if I had to work my mind around the incest part of it. I mean, cousins, but STILL....

SPOILERS!

[hypatia42.livejournal.com]

Go read it. Then we can talk about it!

[libwitch.livejournal.com]

no, not really.

The incest part was interesting and I might've been more upset by it if they hadn't made a point of "too close" and if I didn't know something of genetics with regard to breeding.

[libwitch.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know..its just...well, most of my family has that level of relatively, so to speak. So I start thinking about me knowing my "cousins" that closely and NO.
