You're not fond of Christie either? I thought I was the odd one out on that point. I keep picking up different ones, hoping for the overwhelming majority view to 'click' but it hasn't happened yet. ;))
Yes, because I believe we discussed the other one after we'd both read it. (Pretty much all I remember at this point is the shallow thought that I'd pictured one of the characters to resemble Col. Mustang. XD)
Oh, really? Do you remember where/when we discussed it? Because I don't remember, and a quick search in my email didn't pull up any records. :"> (Haha! Do you remember which character? :D)
How fun! :D I meant to snag this from Mel too, but haven't had a chance. And I still have a reading meme from you to finish. *hangs head in shame*
Ooh! I have a little paperback of Twenty and Ten that I got years ago, too, though I still haven't read it. :">
I like some Christies---like her Tommy and Tuppence books---but others have left me rather underwhelmed or even hating them. So, I understand a love-hate relationship with her. :)
Hehe, I read LotR when I was young, too. I think 10? But that was with my dad reading it to us when we were little and with a false start a few months before I actually read it. (I got stuck in "Shortcut to Mushrooms" oddly enough. It was because I was trying to read it in the car and was feeling carsick, and so didn't find it all that interesting, I think...) Well, Dickens can be fun! When he's not being horribly depressing that is. :P (Speaking of which, it looks like you recently read Little Dorrit? :D
( ... )
Aw, don't beat yourself up about it! : P I'm sure that, like everyone else, you've got a lot going on!
Twenty and Ten is a quick, sweet little book you should definitely read if at any time you find yourself finished reading your on hand library books. ;D
Another Christie non-fan! I'm feeling less and less weird. : D
Exactly on Dickens. He wrote with a great sense of humor but he also packs quite the emotional punch. I'm actually still working on Little Dorrit. Just haven't been posting quotes (until that one I put up yesterday). It is very good.
: )
Promised is the last one, yes. I'm waiting for my library's copy to come in.
Neat! Is there any Swede blood in your family, or did someone just stumble upon the books and decide they would be intersting to have?
Yay! And I know which two. (You have read Entwined, right?) Do look into the other two! They're very worth reading.
I'm glad they liked it. My sisters and I thought it was pretty fun too. : D Did you write it down? Thanks for your comments on my tumblr
*coughs* Yeah...there is a lot going on with courses, research, and such. :P
Welll...I just checked out some more library books. XD But I read through them already (graphic novels, I guess, by Shannon Hale and her husband, and another unrelated Hale), and am working my way through some of the other books. :) So, hopefully eventually!
I'm pretty sure there are some other NWebbers who agree with you about Christie not being all she's cracked up to be. ;))
Mmhmm. Ooh, yes, I'm enjoying the quotes you've been putting up on tumblr. :D I really enjoyed Little Dorrit, so I'm glad you're liking it too
( ... )
Whoo. It's been a while since I took care of things on LJ. (once again...) Meanwhile, you and Mel got on tumblr! A nice surprise.
Heh, I know about strategically planning your reading. I almost didn't finish Little Dorrit before it ran overdue.
The Italian PC was picked up by some family visiting Italy, yes. My sibs and I are 1/4 Italian, so while we haven't personally been, our parents and other relations have.
I'm sorry you didn't like Azalea. On the whole, the author did a great job giving personality to so many girls. Great! : )
Sounds fun. I can kinda make it out - hints anyways! : D Fickle is a great description of many part-time writers. : P
