Something you should know about me is I have a really SHOCKINGLY BAD memory. How bad? Well let's just say that I've managed to read an entire book before and not remember I've read it already - until I read the last chapter and go 'oh fuck yeah, I remember that now'. You so know that means there's fics I've read more than once right? Not such a bad thing if it's a one-shot but a complete fucking pain in the arse of a waste of time if it's a multi-chapter fic!
Now, considering I've not been around the fandom that long, I seem to have acquired a shit load of fics in my favourites list but, and here's the thing, I've not even read some of them yet. Yes, I have been guilty of adding a fic into my favourites in the absence of FFn having a 'still to read' option. Maybe it's worse because of the whole lack of memory thing but that shit's just downright unworkable to me!
What's a h00r to do? I let my little inner geek come out to play and started myself up a lil old spreadsheet, that's what. Still a work in progress but I ran through all my favourites and highlighted the ones that were *actual* fuckawesome favourites so I can clearly see the ones I've not even read yet. Simples, no?
Oh yeah and, because of that, I've discovered a fic that I added AAAAAGES ago and hadn't started. This means my fic rec for tonight is being made based on no more than I added it to my to be read list and I'm gonna read it tonight - or at least make a start anyway! Tonight's rec therefore is No Place Like Home by Telling Me Lies - enjoy!!
Thank fuck this blog is written down or I'd be reccing you the same fics all the motherfuckin time!! And if anyone has any awesome ways of organising their fics, please, please get in touch!

I now beta this fic - No Place Like Home - and let me tell you, tellingmelies is so fuckawesome!
ReplyDeleteThe banter and chemistry she has managed to create between Edward and Bella is fantastic and her characters are well written and reveal their secrets and emotions with each new chapter.
Playboy Edward’s on the road to self discovery, while a feisty snarky Bella keeps him on his toes. This fic is packed full of funny and sweet moments and the UST is off the chain.
My beta perk is, I know what's coming and if the chapters that are already posted aren't enough reason to read it (and trust me, they are), then what's coming next is definitely worth your attention!
So get to steppin - click the link and show tellingmelies some love.
well there you go...don't just take my word for it!! Take the word of someone who knows just how much more awesome it's going to get. I.Can't.Wait!!
