I was super lazy again today. I mean, I am always lazy so today was really no different. And honestly, if I do not have to do anything, I  would gladly just stay in bed and do nothing. But alas, I needed to go to the store today for a little bit of grocery shopping. 

And, to my surprise, the stores were crowded! I mean, it really should not have been. Why? People were not able to leave their houses since Friday because you know – the roads were icy! Any decent human being would not have left the house. Your car would have been an actual death trap. If you have TikTok, I’m pretty sure your FYP was swarming with Seattle ice storm shorts.

I have just been reading Guilty Pleasures as well today. I am not flying through it, I stop every chapter. I am taking my time on this one. I might end up reading nonstop tonight. This would be the last night that I can stay up late so I will take advantage. I will be back to work on Wednesday morning. So yeah, 

The first time I read this book was in 2007 or 2008 I think. It has been a while. And now there are about 20-something books out in this series. I think I stopped reading after finishing book 9. I think I got pretty busy with life. But I remember enjoying the series so I just made a decision to just continue with the it.

And yes, when I got to the chapter where Jean-Claude was introduced, I swooned. I mean, that was no surprise. I remember having the same reaction before so there is just no way that my reaction would be different now. The thing that’s funny though was the fact that there was not much description of his physical attributes during that introduction, so I was surprised why I was so smitten right away. But I was. I think it was really more on the fact that he is a master vampire. Who knows. All I know is just I’m smitten with Jean-Claude. If I remember correctly, there will be a list of vampires that I will be smitten with as the series goes on.

I am also debating if I want to read another series alongside this one. Back then I was reading Dresden Files while also reading The Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter series. I might just read a one-off novel alongside each book from Anita Blake. Reading two series at a time might be a bit too much for me – I honestly think that’s what burned me out years ago. Who knows. Not set in stone. I do need a palate cleanser. I can’t just tackle a huge series like Anita Blake without something to break it with.
