Got hit with a bout of insomnia last night. It's fine, because when I wasn't trying to get to sleep I managed to read a pretty awesome YA book (The Splendor Falls) in it's entirety. It was somewhat reminiscent of Twilight, but there were no vampires or werewolves involved. Just a girl deciding two hot boys, a journey of self-discovery, ghosts, and a little magic. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who got tired of Bella being such a damned weakling (I say this with love).
It's kind of sad that lately I feel like adult romance fiction has been less exciting than stuff for teens. I haven't been reading as much romance as I used to, but everything I've browsed from the best seller lists seems to be just blatantly bad or rehashing the same old tired tropes without any originality. I guess I should stop complaining and finish writing my romance novel so people can have something good to read/hideous and unoriginal to complain about.
