The way my life works right now is that I work not-quite-full-time-but-damn-does-it-feel-like-it and then I can choose the things I want to do afterward before I have to get nine hours of sleep (my body is so ridiculous). There’s fandom and games and TV and books and for awhile I chose books and tried to maintain a blog like everyone else, but it’s hard. I’m a Livejournal girl (it’s not you, blogosphere, it’s the threaded comments) and I honestly miss writing in fandom and doing ridiculously fun fic exchanges and getting dorky about my newsletter and writing filthy porn. I also want to try my hand at my own manuscript, seeing as how I’m 26 and I’m sure not getting any younger. Renay wants to write novels with boys kissing, universe! Please send her more time.

YA Fabulous will still have all the YA reviews I write. Basically, business as usual with all my nattering about jumping sharks and critical analysis that includes expletives and reviews in one long, Elements-of-Style-be-damned run on sentence, but with less rude commentary and essays about Why Does The World Suck So Much and Refuse To Shape Itself to My Desires (cue cheering). The other difference can be noted by visiting YA Fabulous! itself. The way my site looks now gave me the excuse to do what I’ve wanted to for awhile: combine my feeds. PHP is crazy, guys. So, feel free to choose one (you probably don’t want more than that, even I don’t like me that much):

• bottle_of_shine RSS (there will be fanfic posted here. it will probably have gay sexy times. you have been warned.)
• YA Fabulous RSS (you are currently here)
• Combined YA Fabulous/bottle_of_shine RSS (MAXIMUM RENAY EXPOSURE)

Truly, this is the best move for me right now, but on the surface for the three (maybe three. maybe) people who read this blog nothing much will change unless you change feeds above (and no one has to! Totally optional!).

So, um, enough with all that. What’s everyone been reading lately?
