I like this one, for the expression. I like that all we see of the Nazgul is the shadow, but the rest of the shadows in the picture are off.
Lydia: Its removal from Burma is a felony and when triggered it has the power to melt human eyeballs.
Giles: In that case I've severely underpriced it.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I love how faithful this one is to the little details, so much packed in: [link] Theoden, the broken shield, the tears in her tunic and scratches on her face, Minas Tirith and the battle raging in the background.

I love the arc of the Nazgul's steed's wing in this one: [link]

Like the style, but hate her pose - "Talk to the hand, foul Dwimmerlaik." ::scuffs foot on bloody field:: [link]

Because books.
smonster, did you see in Natter whatever day I was echoing your Down a Dark Hall love? I actually still have my original copy in hardcover. LOVE.

Yes, I did! I only had paperback, and I got rid of it long ago, but I read it so many times.
I shouldn't expect any better from Frazetta, right? [link] Forgive my pickiness, but it was a key plot point that she was dressed like a dude. I THINK THEY WOULD HAVE NOTICED ARMORED BOOBIES.

Because books.
Lois Duncan and Lois Lowry were two of my favorite authors growing up, and I didn't know a lot of other big readers then, so I love hearing people who know of them.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, I really like the expression in dcp's link.
My major takeaway from all of this? OMG I LOVE EOWYN!!@!

Eowyn was seriously one of my first role models, the first time I remember thinking "holy shit, girls can be awesome!" We had a record of RotK from the animated movie, and so I remember that phrase from a decade before reading the books.
Gah, I really hope they make a book of all those pictures. BUT NOT THE STUPID ONES. If I ever have a daughter (or, heck, a son) I'll frame some for her walls.

Always Anti-fascist!
I read a lot of both Loises, but the one I remember most is Killing Mr. Griffin.

Because books.
Anyone want to help with a guest blog post I have to do? They want to know my ten favorite literary couples, and I'm coming up short. I have seven so far:
1) Jane/Rochester
2) Kit/Nat (Witch of Blackbird Pond)
3) Jo/Professor Bhaer
4) Clare/Henry (The Time Traveler's Wife)
5) Hermione/Ron
6) Aislinn/Seth (YA, Wicked Lovely)
7) Claire/Jamie (Outlander)
Who am I missing? Or who are some of yours?
