I read Infamous Army sometime in my high school years. I remember skimming through large chunks. It is one of the few of hers that I never reread. I bet I'd feel differently about it now.
I can hurt a demon!! That's right. I'm back. And I'm a BLOODY ANIMAL!

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."

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I adore Infamous Army. Heyer intertwines the lives of the characters and the battle so naturally and seamlessly that the amoutn of work that went into the piece never shows. The scene where Babs and Judith bond over tea after tending the wounded all day? Brilliant.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Gods, yes. Perfection.
And during the battle itself, what held and kept me were the POVs of people I'd come to care about. Charles, watching a close friend get hit, calling out to another friend shortly after to see if he knew anything, and finding an even closer friend dying nearby...
Crikey. I love that damned book.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Has anyone read Woman Thou Art Loosed ?
The movie is being released and I'd kinda like to read it. The little girl on a show I watch is gonna be in it and I'm curious if it's any good.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, I finally read Bet Me, and now I'm all awwwww and mushy. Glad to read a nice fun book, after The Mermaids Singing. Also, I had an experience with the current round of library books I've never had -- TWO books I couldn't bring myself to finish. Kind of a bummer.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
You know, whenever the whole "I don't find X attractive" conversations come up, and people always say, "Hey, fine, more for me?" I'm always on the "more for me" side.
Is that bad?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Mostly it means you're EASY.

Hee. That's just the buzz I got.

I especially loved that she gave us a "where are they now?" kind of epilogue. Awwwwww.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I bought a few books off the street the other day and meant to post about them here. One is a 1960 cheap paperback fairly pulpy looking "Assault on a Queen" by Jack Finney. I fully admit to buying it for looks only - it appears to be big ships crime adventure.
The other three books I got are by Carolyn Wells. They are 1913 & 1017 printings of part of the Patty Series. "Patty Fairfield", "Patty's Friends", and "Patty Blossom". Anyone ever heard of them?
