Reading Repast

So Mark had done this a long time ago, and it seemed fun enough, so I thought I would post it as well just to get back in the groove. I think I've been hiding long enough.

Lame? Yes. Better than nothing? Yes.

As you'll see, there isn't much on this list that I've actually read, but I could add loads of my own titles if it covered a more fantasy genre.

Thorso Originally uploaded by lightnyn . Thigh & torso. Makes sense right? Anyhow, it's a New Year, and therefore a new series of HNT posts. And to wrap up the few from last year, I'll be sure to include an archive message to make finding them easier, although it's not like I had so many that they're hard to find. Enjoy, and please let me know what you think.

And if last week's post was any indication of my own deliciousness, this should whet all of your appetites even more. Seriously, I'm still a bit baffled by how much praise I received for last week. I honestly didn't think the photo was all that hot. But then again, I tend to think that about most of my own photos. I'll just have to rely on my wife's affirmation that they are. Psst, thank you, Love!
