Look and listen...

Watching: Castle. I've been watching this show since it first aired in the US and it's now in its fifth season and I couldn't love it more if I tried. I've got each season on DVD and I'm definitely snapping up Season 5 when it's released later this year. If you're a fan of American detective dramas with a little comedy and sass mixed in you should give Castle a try.

Listening to: Memory Lane... The Best of McFly (Deluxe Edition). I got this album towards the end of the year and I haven't stopped playing it yet. I've been a McFly fan for a while now and their songs are always so catchy. The deluxe edition is a 2-CD collection of all their biggest hits as well as featuring several cover versions and rare songs.

Reading: Wallbanger by Alice Clayton. I started reading this book back in December but, due to one thing and another, didn't get to finish it until a few days ago. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and it definitely had me laughing out loud. Oh, and the sex scenes are smoking hot!

Here's the description taken from Amazon:

Caroline Reynolds has a fantastic new apartment in San Francisco, a KitchenAid mixer, and no O (and we’re not talking Oprah here, folks). She has a flourishing design career, an office overlooking the bay, a killer zucchini bread recipe, and no O. She has Clive (the best cat ever), great friends, a great rack, and no O.

Adding insult to O-less, since her move, she has an oversexed neighbor with the loudest late-night wallbanging she’s ever heard. Each moan, spank, and--was that a meow?--punctuates the fact that not only is she losing sleep, she still has, yep, you guessed it, no O.

Enter Simon Parker. (No, really, Simon, please enter.) When the wallbanging threatens to literally bounce her out of bed, Caroline, clad in sexual frustration and a pink baby-doll nightie, confronts her heard-but-never-seen neighbor. Their late-night hallway encounter has, well, mixed results. Ahem. With walls this thin, the tension’s gonna be thick...

Planning: 2013 is the year I really want to finish my in progress stories. One of them only has about three more chapters left so it's certainly doable if I get my butt in gear. I've received a few messages over the past couple of months asking me if they'll ever be completed and, as a fic reader myself, I know how frustrating it is when your favourite stories aren't updated so I really need to get on top of things.

Anticipating: This year's Porn Battle XIV which gets under way later this month. Hopefully, writing a few little ficlets will help get the creative juices flowing again.

Thanks for reading!
