Utterly Destroyed.

WARNING MALAZAN BOOK OF THE FALLEN SPOILERS AHEAD

SKIP TO THE NEXT BLUE TEXT IF YOU WANT TO AVOID THEM

Good morning, Readers.
Picture
Anomander Rake, whom I first hated, then loved. And lost. Weird, isn't it, how hard the deaths of fictional characters hits? Image courtesy of thecriticaldragon.com. Click for link.
So, uh, Toll the Hounds was a great book.  A very worthy addition to the Malazan Book of the Fallen series. But in this book, I lost one of my favourite characters.  And I am feeling quite depressed about it right now.  All I want to do is bury myself in a mound of chocolate and alcohol and cry.

​Instead, I'm going to indulge in something silly and inane to try and lighten my own mood.  There's this silly list floating around Facebook about life achievements or something called The Bucket List - Canadian Edition.  So I decided to fill it out.

Because I need the distraction.

Because I am in mourning.

​Ugh.  Books can utterly destroy you sometimes.
