:D:D:D Yay Elsha!

Im glad you liked it... ah Tigana... isnt it great... :love: *sw00ns* :Wooper:
*more sw00ning for Dianora...* :love:

Sarantium is good... the storyline is more complex than Tigana, and theres lots and lots of intrigue and political stuff in that book, makes it enjoyable. Lots of action too... :P Wait to judge the book until you read both tomes... the first one on its own is too little to judge the entire work on.

Arbonne was alright - definitely some memorable characters, but on the whole, I do tend to rate it at the bottomish end of the Kay hierarchy :P
...which is weird, because I thought the theme and topic would really appeal to me in Arbonne.... which it did, but the book still wasnt a super hit.


Stelly, I do agree Zandi seems Jesus-ish :P
I suppose he's alright for Alvar... I dont have such strong feelings for Alvar casting as I do for... Ammar for example :P :Wooper:
This movie is taking a long time in all the pre production talks... grrr... Im impatient :P

I took the stars from my eyes, and then I made a map, And knew that somehow I could find my way back; Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too - So I stayed in the darkness with you

I still haven't finished Tigana, I feel like a failure :bawl:

But I have read a book called The Other Boleyn Girl by Phillipa Gregory (spelling) and it was amazing. I highly recommend it.

Lay down
Your sweet and weary head
Night is falling
You’ve come to journey's end
Sleep now
And dream of the ones who came before
They are calling
From across the distant shore

Why do you weep?
What are these tears upon your face?
Soon you will see
All of your fears will pass away
Safe in my arms
You're only sleeping

In possession of Ysabel as of yesterday :love:

Reading, over 1/2 way done... I will be back with thoughts later...
for now... the obligatory *Sw000000000000n* for Kay!

Anyone else reading this one yet? (I think it comes out in US and the UK with a month's and 2 month's delay respectively though...)

Awwww :P Is it there yet 'stelly?

I was actually a bit disappointed... I have a review up in my lj for further details... of course I still love the man, but there were definite tick-offs in this book... had some issues with it... still glad I read though, of course....
