Absolutely genius premise: heroine pens letters to a made up sweetheart on the battlefront. Then guy with the same name shows up on her doorstep years later with her letters and starts making trouble for her. Lots of hijinks, lots of banter. Love!
This delightful picture book was beyond adorable. Lil Kelp the narwhal find out he might actually be a unicorn. Look at his lil floaties!
Favorite ALA find: Children of Blood and Bone sampler. Can't wait to see the final cover art and read the book in full!
This book made me remember how fun Shakespeare can be. The pacing of the story is perfect, and the characters are all complex and wonderful. It really drew you into their world of theater (and villainy!). I'm not yet sure how I feel about the ending, but I enjoyed the rest of the book so much that I'm not too hung up on it.
My favorite lines so far: "... even though he was a cat and therefore understood the rules of solitude, it was still disconcerting to glance up and find... [he] was watching me, the way cats did, with steady and unblinking eyes."
If there's any creature on this earth that understands the rules of solitude, it's the cat.
Ok just kidding. These are probably my all time favorite panels (the hat was a raccoon the whole time ?!?)
This book is marvelous so far. Also I get the Beatles song stuck in my head whenever I look at the cover.
While reading, I was inordinately pleased to discover that the Lady Killer cover perfectly matches my ottoman.
I've never read manga before, but this was too pleasant to pass up. It has a wandering island! And a little cat with cat-sized aviator cap! Need I go on?
I enjoyed much of the characterization, especially Scorpius', but the hackneyed plot made this story frustrating to read in screen play format.
Love the premise of this story: you can travel to any place - real imaginary - so long as you have the proper map.
Love this philosophy of using a bookshelf. Also I find the phrase "the good book consorts happily with the good pot" utterly charming.
Anti-theft signs in medieval libraries were intense: "If anyone take away this book, let him die the death; let him be fried in a pan."
