The Good German Shepherd: The Return of RinTinTin
Illyria: Wesley's dead. I'm feeling grief for him. I can't seem to control it. I wish to do more violence. Spike: Well, wishes just happen to be horses today.

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."

who was it who was worried about Alain
That was me. Sounds like it did get weirder than I'm comfortable with in the end.

Well, they never actually said that was what happened. . . but how far into the series did you get?
I surmised that this is what happened based on Alain getting sent back in time to the world pre-Cataclysm and marrying Adica and having that nice life and then after the second Cataclysm that put the world back together realizing who the heir to Count Lavastine really was. It kind of explains why the dogs accepted him even though he wasn't Lavastine's son but were perfectly willing to abandon him whenever an heir of Taillefer appeared (Anne, Mother Obligatia.)

I was actually kind of afraid that he would wind up as Sorgatani's pura so was happy that this wasn' t his fate.
I thought that the first two books of the series were the best.

I'm not a fan of time travel and becoming the ancestor of someone important as a plot point. But I was most impressed with the gender divisions of feudal life. It makes sense that women would be in charge of the nurturing parts of the world, ie, being Bishops and such. I didn't get past the third book, because I hit my personal wall of "What else is this poor person going to have to go through?" At some point a character I'm interested in has to have some real contentment or achievement, even if surrounded by angst. Even in the real world, miserable put-upon people get moments of joy.

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows"
Are they really "Deathly" or possibly just Sleepy?
Or possibly Dopey or Grumpy or Bashful or....

I think it's "Deathly Hallows" not "Deathly Hollows".

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Yup. My news feed says Hallows.
