My partner and I have this thing where we ask each other if we are the other person's x, where x is something ridiculous, cute, grotesque, or profane. For example, I once asked my partner if I was her gutter-bloated corpse, to which she, of course, answered in the affirmative.

I'll soon find out if I am actually a tasselled wobbegong carpet shark in the eyes of my partner.

As an aside, I asked the corpse thing after reading this delightful line from one of my very favorite books:

“Body found floating by the docks,” Glokta breathed, “bloated by seawater and horribly mutilated… far… far beyond recognition.”

Unexpected first Law by Joe Abercrombie! Loved it, Glokta is such an interesting character.

I've just finished the Book of Law trilogy. Again.

Very cute, best of luck in your quest!

I just read that part of the book a couple nights ago.

Man I love those books. Only time I've finished a series and gone straight back to the beginning again.

Love Joe Abercrombie!
