Jilli, have you read "The Coldest Girl in Coldtown"? It's a vampire YA I kept thinking you would really enjoy. I did
I have not! I've been reading a lot of hilariously trashy "Gothic Satanic Romance" pulp from the 70s, because apparently my brain is craving fluff right now. But I will add it to the list of things I should read.
I just finished The War for the Oaks , based on recommendations from here (I'm pretty sure).
LOVE that book. I should add it to the rereading list.
Right now I'm reading Long Live The Queen by Kate Locke, the third book in her "Immortal Empire" set. The whole trilogy has been fun so far.
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
I read this for one of my first book salons (theme=Books and the Bookish), along with
The Reader
(also WWII-themed, but certainly not endearing). Obviously, it was quite fun to be reading
about
a book salon
for
my book salon. I don't remember much about it beyond that it was a sweet book, with a sweet publication back story.
I know I'm late to the party, but I finally read Code Name Verity and Rose Under Fire last night.
Both were engrossing, but CNV was astoninshingly, utterly engrosseningly good.
I just started
Rose Under Fire!
All the callbacks to CNV are making me tear up.
CNV was astoninshingly, utterly engrosseningly good
Yeah to all of that. So good.
My computer glitched at 2:30 am, RIGHT in the middle of...the scene towards the end of the book that makes you cry. And I flipped the fuck out, and had to continue reading in tiny 2.3 point font on my phone while the laptop rebooted (which takes 10 minutes, truly.)
Aims,
I am not sure the book is worth processing. It is a shame b/c the 1st book had some ideas worth thinking through. All that gone.
Classical poetry fans, there are apparently two more Sappho poems available for your enjoyment: [link]
I think this may be in the wrong thread.
