borgmama1of5First, thank you for all the lovely birthday wishes! It's a little mind-boggling when I think that 95% of my LJ friends became my friends because of a mutual love of Supernatural! :)
My present to myself was to spend 20 of the last 36 hours of my birthday weekend just reading :D
I have never seen an episode of Glee. However, my dear friend![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sandymg is a Glee fan, and a while ago she encouraged me to try something different and read a Glee!fic.
And am I ever glad she did.
I spent the last 2 days immersed in the world ofrainjoyswriting's Superhero 'verse. Knowing nothing about what I was supposed to bring to the interpretation of her stories, I found myself simply inhabiting a riveting world of charismatic characters, meta world-building, and a story that had me knotted up with anxiety--and it's been a long time since I found myself actually scared for characters in a book!
So I am going to rec this for anyone who would like to lose themselves in a superhero world that has superhumanly human protagonists, a wrenching and wonderful romance, truly scary villains, plot twists you won't see coming, multiple layers of story-telling, and a theme that will make you think for a long time afterwards, I recommend All the Other Ghosts and Grey.
And one fun picture of the awesome chocolate chip cookie my coworkers gave me:
