Temeraire by Naomi Novik

I just finished reading this book and I absolutely loved it! :) I really can't wait to read the next two books in the series. :) Um normally I'd have more to say but all I want to do is squee. I had to order the book from Amazon.uk. and it was well worth the money. I happened to love the Horatio Hornblower series and the Midshipman Hope series and now I get a naval fantasy adventure. :) There are very few series that incorporate dragons into the story this well. Robin Hobb's Farseer and the Deverry series are just two great examples that I can think of at the moment. (never really cared for the Dragonflight series)

I loved the main character the dragons the way the story is set up. There was plenty of action and moments with great character development. I like war books and this one met my expectations and rose above them. :)

SGA rec

Moka by saffronhouse good plot, loved the character moments, the kind of torture? I loved the angst and am not going to apologize about it either

EDIT: Just found out that this is the same Martha that wrote Sinner's Grove, one of my all time favorite SG-1 Jack/Daniel rape fics. (it had so much more than just the rape and I think I read it more than 30 times) In retrospect, I now I know why I felt like I recognized the writing style. :) Though I guess the author didn't go through great lengths to hide or her id or anything. I just read the story first before I looked.

SGA Vid rec

I know everyone and my mom is reccing this vid but it really is good. :) Running Down a Dream by just_eunice I loved the editing in this vid, the fact that it's about John, and the way the shots are structured. It doesn't hurt that it's Tom Petty either. :)
