The scene where Babs and Judith bond over tea after tending the wounded all day? Brilliant.
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.
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.
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.
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?

Mostly it means you're EASY.

Hee. That's just the buzz I got.
oh good . I just grabbed Bet me as it came in the door at the library today
I especially loved that she gave us a "where are they now?" kind of epilogue. Awwwwww.
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?
And there was no small dog! The sausage dogs were bothering me.
The one with the forgery is my favourite, though.

Because it kicks ass. But I loved the friends in Bet Me. AND they all had jobs! Like, regular-people jobs, mostly.
