HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! YOU'RE HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haven't read it yet because it sounds depressingly non-Potterlike, not so much because it's not a fantasy book but because it sounds like it doesn't have the humor or root-for-able characters of HP.

YOU'RE HERE! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

No, not the root-able characters - or yes, maybe but it's not worth rooting for them. (Trying not to be spoilery). Not easily root-able and you'll pay a price for liking someone, I guess I'd say. I did think it was very JKR, if not at all Pottery, and I liked it.

Not interested in reading it even though I had a friend who ended up enjoying it. I just can't work up enthusiasm when I read a summary of it.

Severe meh.

I had thought it was a mystery - I don't know why so I was pretty excited and then when I realized it wasn't I was already pretty into the story. I'm not sure I would have been attracted otherwise but I did like it immensely.

You! How are you doing?

I started it, got distracted by other reading I'm supposed to be doing, but am looking forward to getting back to it.

Did you like it, in a non-spoilery way?

I did like it very much. I thought it reeked Rowling, just not Potter.

I'm doing okay, how about you?

I'm good - back in the UK, and single. It's been a stressful few months, but definitely the right thing to do. :)

Sorry that things have been so challenging. There are never any easy answers it seems to me anymore. Glad though that you are at peace with your choice and hey, I've got a far better chance of getting to the UK than Australia :)

It's good to see you!!!!!!!!!!!

I have no thoughts about Casual Vacancy - yet. I'll read it when I can get it from the library.

How are you?

I have it sitting on my phone, but I'm not exactly chomping at the bit to get to it, as my plate is pretty full with RL at the moment. I'm sure I'll get around to it eventually.

Nice to hear from you, though! LJ is pretty dead these days.

It's nice to be heard from :) RL makes that harder and harder all the time.
