Smadronia's Adventures Every Day is an adventure, especially out here on the road.

So, I was showing Pet some truly awful Twilight tattoos. And, one of the ads was for a ‘co-written’ personalized novel involving vampires. So I bit the bullet and visited the site. It’s one of those semi-personalized books, you enter in your name and some stats, and you hero’s name and stats, and then they’ll print a book (starting at $40) and send it to you, so you can daydream about your fantasy guy.

If you can’t think of a hero’s name for the preview, they suggest a few. Robert Redford, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, and Hugh Jackman I could understand. Then I got to a book called “Magic Bound” in the adult romance section. This is what it gave me as suggestion:

I just finished reading/listening to Matched by Ally Condie. It’s set in the future, where everything, including what you eat and who you fall in love with, is determined by probabilities and statistics.  And for Cassia, her world is falling apart.

She’s 17, and has been Matched to her best friend Xander, an uncommon occurrence. When she goes to view the information the Matching comittee has given her, it first shows her Xander, and then the screen blanks out, and shows her a different boy for her Match. It’s also a boy she knows, in her neighbourhood (called a borough) named Ky.
