Kayla's Book Nook

Yesterday, while I had the day off from work, I thought that I would pick up a book by four different authors. Laurell K. Hamilton, Yasmine Galenorn, Marjorie M. Liu, and Sharon Shinn, all come together to write a book with four different stories with the same theme, magic and love. Each story surrounds a princess of some sort, from one time or another, but each also has an element of magic in it. The first story, Can He Bake a Cherry Pie?, by Laurell K. Hamilton is about a princess who would rather take her own destiny in her hands, than be married to someone that she does not want. Instead, she decides to save a prince that was banished from his land, and kept away by a witch, because he did not appreciate women. Although, this is a short story in the book, it's a great one that is filled with a woman who does not fear dieing instead of living a life of hate, distaste, loneliness, and abandonment. The second story, "The Shadow of Mist," by Yasmine Galenorn, is about

Today, I looked at my loans and all that I have to pay back for an education that I might not even use, a degree that is doing me no good now, and who knows if it might in the future. I pay all this money, put my life in debt, and then I don't even get to use my degree to do what I love, or to pay back those loans. This life, this economy, the way we are set up here in America just makes me want to fight someone sometimes! Tell kids to go to college, and rack up money in loans, and that it'll be okay because they'll have a degree to use. But what they don't tell us is that the economy sucks, unemployment sucks, and that loan people are effing sharks that just want their money no matter what! I am so freaking sick of all this shit, it makes me not want to go to grad school! I just want a job where I can afford to live, to buy food, and to be happy. Is that too much to ask for? Why go to college, when the job I'm doing now doesn't require it?
