Books and other dangerous stuff

Last night, I finished reading the first book in the "Ukiah Oregon Series" by Wen Spencer: "Alien Taste". That's one amazing book that catches you and refuses to let go until you finish it. The characters - the goodies of course - are so lovable and the plot so intriguing. I mean, would you have thought about something like letting the blood of the alien turn into mice when it leaves the body (like when they get shot or stabbed - and Ukiah goes through that quite often too, the poor thing)? Ukiah is an absolutely amazing character that doesn't do dumb things like the main characters of other books I've encountered in the past. The Pack is adorable too - especially when they call Ukiah "cub" :D And then there is Max, Ukiah's partner, an ex-SpecOps, ex-this and that with really cool gadgets and a Hummer too (gosh, I love that car! it's so macho :D). And Ukiah's lover, Indigo Zheng, the Lady of Steel as the Pack calls her because she has a brain and she knows what she wants and she is determined to get it too. And then there are Mom Jo and Mom Lara, Ukiah's lesbian mothers and they are so cool. Oh, and I mustn't forget Cally, Ukiah's little sister, and her GI Jane Barbie doll... :D Amazing, truly amazing and worth every penny. And the books is really cheap too - 7 bucks only! Go and buy! The author even received a price for the 4th book in this series and all the books are at least 4,5 stars! *excited*

And then there is the other obsession of mine - namely Bleach. I have never seen an anime before that had so many interesting and well developed and distinct characters. And the relationships between them are so intriguing. Especially the relationship between Matsumoto and Ichimura. I mean, when Gin stops grinning like an idiot, he is a really handsome man, don't you think? I think that he has a soft spot for Matsumoto. And even after all what happened, I still don't think he is a bad guy. I have this weird feeling that his behavior has a really good explanation. You know, the Japanese baddies are not really bone deep bad, right?
You know what squad I like the best? The 11th. Zaraki Kenpachi and his group. And who do I like most from this bunch of guys? Ayasugawa Yumichika :D I mean, he is hilarious. When he fought with the 69 guy... he had such a "I just got laid" look the little hearts and dumb smile included... You just have to wonder, what his zanpaktou actually is... ;P

Ken-chaaaaaaaaaan!!! *gets sliced* Sorry, I just adore him even though he's kinda... masochistic. XD And Gin, yes he is love. *o*

Bleach is what I look forward to the most now. *squee*

Kenpachi is really great. I especially love his relationship with his Lieutenant :) But he really has a one-tracked mind :D Too bad it's not about sex :P

Yachiru is the cutest thing ever. *hugs her* Except when she got made that one point. She was scary. >.>;; I want to see what kind of powers she has. ^_^

I love Kenpachi. Just when you think he's going to be one way, he turns out to be completely the opposite. And he looks cool, too.

I'd have to go with the 13th. ^_^

Ah, Ukitake, huh? He and Shunsui are so cute together. But Shunsui and his Nanao-chaaaaaaaaan are fantastic too. I love how she cares about him but refuses to show it ;P
