The way I came up with this theme for today’s Etsy Picks is a strange and twisted path… For one thing, there’s this: If you can’t figure out what a bunch of drunk Russian programmers has to do with anything, don’t despair, I’ll help you out. You see, they are taking part in an annual [...]

Ok, you’ll have to imagine this. I’m sitting at work, in a tanktop and flip flops. It’s quite hot and humid, and there’s water dripping from the skylight. LOUD, rhythmic dripping. Chinese water torture is nervously biting nails in the corner… I am also bored to death and dying to go back to reading my [...]

The Iron King by Julie Kagawa My rating: 4 of 5 stars Wonderful story! At first I was a little worried that it’s gonna be yet another “summer/winter” forbidden romance (which it is, but also so much more!).
