I never want to be a writer!

OK, so I really do want to be a writer.  But there comes a time when you read a book that is so devastatingly beautiful and amazing that you realize you will never come close to comparing.  That time has come my friends.

Please do yourselves a favor and read Laini Taylor's Daughter of Smoke and Bone.

Here is the official teaser:

      
Around the world, black handprints are appearing on doorways, scorched there by winged strangers who have crept through a slit in the sky. 
In a dark and dusty shop, a devil's supply of human teeth grown dangerously low. 
And in the tangled lanes of Prague, a young art student is about to be caught up in a brutal otherwordly war. 
Meet Karou. She fills her sketchbooks with monsters that may or may not be real; she's prone to disappearing on mysterious "errands"; she speaks many languages--not all of them human; and her bright blue hair actually grows out of her head that color. Who is she? That is the question that haunts her, and she's about to find out.
When one of the strangers--beautiful, haunted Akiva--fixes his fire-colored eyes on her in an alley in Marrakesh, the result is blood and starlight, secrets unveiled, and a star-crossed love whose roots drink deep of a violent past. But will Karou live to regret learning the truth about herself?


I think I just died and went to heaven. 

I would post my favorite quotes, but I'm not sure about copyrights and all that.  However, I will still post just one, because I think it has a great message. 


     "To stay true in the face of evil is a feat of strength."



SO TRUE! THAT IS MY NEW OFFICIAL MOTTO.

Honestly, I have no idea why I hadn't heard of Laini Taylor before now.   But I'm even more excited because the second book in this trilogy is coming out in the Fall of 2012.  That is this year you guys.  Freaking out here!  And guess what the title is?

Days of Blood and Starlight


 I think I have fallen in love even more.  This goes to prove my theory that books is all a girl needs.  Really, I could just die happy right now. :)

Have a great day.

Aiden.
