Day 22 – Favorite non-sexual relationship (including asexual romantic relationships)

Ghost and Steve's friendship in Poppy Z. Brite's Lost Souls. It's beautiful.

Day 23 – Most annoying character ever

There have been so many, where I've just wanted to smack the pages. So many characters that have made me want to holler, "STFU already!" I can't remember any of them. I hate moony girls and toadies. I know a few people who loved Trashcan Man from SK's The Stand but he annoyed me, as did that guy who was released from prison shortly before dining on a fellow inmate's leg. Quit whining already. Hate whiners. Little Ease from Imajica was pretty fucking annoying, too, to the point where I'll only skim the pages featuring him whenever I re-read the book.

Day 24 – Best quote from a novel

Ok, so it's not from a novel, it's from a short story. But still...

“This is my country”, Coyote answered, with dignity, making a long, slow, sweeping gesture all around the vast horizon, “I made it. Every goddamned sagebush.”
- Ursula LeGuin, Buffalo Gals

Day 25 – Any five books from your “to be read” stack
American Gods - William Gibson
Naked Lunch
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
Something by Charles de Lint
The Dome by Stephen King

Day 26 – OMG WTF? OR most irritating/awful/annoying book ending

Hideaway by Dean Koontz. This is the one that set me off on deus ex machina & a lifelong hatred for Dean Koontz. An agent of heaven literally swoops down and carries the villain off. WTF?

Day 27 – If a book contains ______, you will always read it (and a book or books that contain it)!

Priestesses of ancient Goddess cults. I'm a sucker for priestesses and Goddess cults.

Day 28 – First favorite book or series obsession
Day 29 – Saddest character death OR best/most satisfying character death (or both!)
Day 30 – What book are you reading right now?
