kellesJust got back from Borders and I finally have it - my very own Hellsing volume 5. ^___^
It wasn't available before X-mas, but now they have tons of copies. Also got the last book in the Shadow saga (4 books), The Gathering Dark, by Christopher Godlen. I read the other volumes over a year ago and have been dying to read the last one. It's got most of the great things that Hellsing does (except for the Nazis): Vampires, insane Catholics, strong women, and humor. There are also ancient demons (and a trip to hell and back). It is a GREAT read and it's been the only vampire novel besides Hellsing (and Dracula) that have held my interest. And bought a Buddhist planner - hoping to learn more about the religon. And I'm VERY happy that my dad invited me out to dinner tonight at a GREAT steak house. Can't wait to eat some filet mignon. I don't drink sooo eating is my celebration.
And I've started yet another Hellsing ficlet. It's some dark thoughts of Alucard taking place after the current storyline. Not sure what else - might have a semi-smuttish scene with Integral.
Anyways - HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of my LJ freinds.

Date: 2004-12-31 10:29 pm (UTC)months agobut it doesn't compare to having the actual book in hand. Somehow the scans don't convey just how erotic Rip's death scene was - OMFG! Hirano can sure draw the the blood drinking & tongues so damn sexy. I know I am twisted.I do want to check out The Sandman. I might do that now that I've gotten Hellsing, vol 5. I also want to buy the X 1999 series. I don't like many shojo series but that one is dark, twisted, and gory enough for me. I've also started Esclaflowne. And Angel Sanctuary seems good. Read the 1st volume.
Thanks for the compliment! I like your writing too. Love the Pip & Seras one. <3
