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."
That's the thing, askye -- I was really interested in Vincent, and the whole wounded soldier storyline, and even in how Maisie got to where she is now, but it was just such a slog.
My mom owns the book, though, so I can always try again at some point.
The Phyrne Fisher series sounds like fun, despite the way her named is spelled. Who's the author? I loved Dianne Day's Fremont Jones mysteries, which were set in San Francisco at the turn of the century. Really readable, a lot of fun.
Kerry Greenwood wrote the Phryne Fisher story. She's supposed to be named for a Greek Courtesan. she was supposed to be named something else but her father was drunk and put down Phryne.
There was an Australian series made, I watched it on Acorn TV (streaming on the Ruku) but it's not on there anymore. The tv series made some big chances to the books, but the series was really good. It's not on Netflix or Hulu but maybe you could find it another way.
Woo hoo!
Episode 2 of Gooseberry Bluff Community College of Magic: The Thirteenth Rib is available to download.
Yes! I'm glad they emailed me, so I can stop checking all the time to see if the next one is there.
So, flipping through an old issue of Entertainment Weekly, they did an article featuring the Favorite Books of "Lit Stars". The graphic has a picture like it's a snapshot of their bookshelves, which is how I noticed that of the 13 listed by Stephenie Meyers, I only don't have 3. I feel a little dirty.
She has 13 books?? I thought she just had the four Twilight books, The Host, and that Bree Tanner thing.
Probably a copy or 2 of the Book of Mormon...
...Or wait, are you talking about books she's written?
Ooooh, now I understand.
Anne's House of Dreams is still boring(I bought the whole collection for the kindle recently for a dollar.) I thought I was just being a touchy teen feminist, but she really does spend a lot of this volume being complimented by adorable rustics. It's like Green Gables badfic.(Although being mature and sedate and telling your doctor husband he's awesome are not exactly compelling drama, either.)
Anne's House of Dreams was where I stopped reading on my first read through of those books. The subplot with the brain damage was just too much, and not much of anything else happened. It wasn't until several years later that I decided to give it a try again and realized how much the story picked up again in Rainbow Valley and Rilla of Ingleside.
