I bought this

I have decided that I am going to try reading actual paper books this summer! Instead of fanfiction! I don't know if it'll work, but we shall see. So, anyway, you should tell me what's good to read! I like comedy, teens, romance, time-travel, dogs, horses, sci-fi, historical fiction, etc. I don't like anything heavy or depressing. I don't mind having to think, but I'm hugely disapproving of long, boring descriptions, no matter how accurate or whatever. I'm afraid I have a low tolerance now for epithets, sloppy POVs, use of "lover" (oh god, shoot me), and, seriously, hate, hate, hate something that's overly-wordy for no purpose at all, but just because the author likes to write about flowers or bicycles or sunsets or clothes or quidditch (hi, JKR) - bleh. ANYWAY, I'm sure you all can suggest something to read that isn't going to make my eyes bleed and my brain ooze out of my ears. Summer fun!

I've got 27 pages of utter Kevin/Mike high school AU crap, but whatever, I'm still trucking. I figure I'll just write and write and write and then go back and slice it apart and put it back together into something that maybe makes sense and doesn't suck, but no promises.

Also, I'm SO TEMPTED to write iCarly het, because Sam and Freddie are so adorable together and Sam is like my favorite character on TV right now and iCarly rocks, even J likes it.

I don't know if you like murder/mysteries, but if so you should definitely check out Naked In Death, the first of a (long) series written by JD Robb. She's a pseudonym for Nora Roberts who writes ... we'll call them "bodice rippers," and while there is a bit of bodice ripping in the ...In Death series, it's not all "Reginald's quivering member" rubbish. Also, it's murder mysteries set in the future so you really can't lose. I enjoy these when I'm looking for brain candy.

I used to overload on Nora Roberts! I knew she wrote as JD Robb, but I've never read any of those, I'll have to give them a try - thanks!
