being on mc gives me the luxury of reading books to my heart’s content, so to speak. and i find myself reading supernatural fantasy paperbacks from the library.

i am pretty sure it had been decades since i read supernatural fantasy romance novels, ya not even the twilight series. i honestly cant remember when was the last time i read novels of that genre. i used to read nora roberts and i havent for the longest time. but i somehow picked up two books from my recent library book haul.

i tried reading YA, but they always put me off after the first chapter. the themes are always the same, a girl who is odd or non-mainstream, likes a guy who is always handsome or cute or something, and then someone ‘special’ comes by and the girls realise they have some powers and suddenly becomes THE special one. i mean , i get it, empowerment and whatnot. i tried. it’s just the age, i guess. enough YA at the momet.

the two books i borrowed were Nalini Singh’s Angels’ Blood and Cecy Robson’s Sealed with a Curse. well they basically involved human angels, vampires, witches and were-beings. i LOVED Charmed but i had not read any witchcraft fiction novels. i adored Twilight, but i had not read any vampiric stories. Danielle trussoni’s Angelology was among my fave books but they were more quite historic and quite religiously themed, and i had not read angels being too graphically and emotionally human because sometimes they’re too blasphemic. although i have learnt to not associate the term angels as being used and described by the westerns and novelists with my belief towards malaikah, my basic pillar of iman.

anyway. after reading nalini singh and cecy robson, i wont say i love reading them but they are ok for some light reading. because really, i could finish a book in a day (without distraction that is) and i totally skipped some parts because i didnt think it’s necessary to read through to understand the storyline. and since they are always in trilogies or series, its rather fun to find the next book and read what the authors have in mind for their fantasy stories. and i wont be giving reviews for this genre, because, they are after all, supernatural fantasy, they are not supposed to make sense.

so don’t judge me please. i did promise myself to read something academic or non-fictional after completing reading these library books.
