    How about a compromise -- two extra Nocturnes, two extra medicals each month?

    I think chocolate covered bacon might not be that bad . . . I've enjoyed bacon with maple syrup when they combine on my plate, so the sweet/savoury combination can work.

    Nocturnes!  There's a wide variety of options in paranormals, and not all the options are to my taste . . . more per month means it's more likely I'll find something I like and have something new to read every month.

    Oooh! They sound fascinating, and much more interesting than the Bobbesy twins.  It's wonderful to come across old gems like that, isn't it?

    It's pretty clear that she's plagarized.

     There's a 98-page PDF that  neatly catalogues quite a few examples and compares passages from Edwards' novels to the sources she copied from.  And it's not so much a dry spell as not writing the actual text herself -- check out the document and see.

    I was on my school's Reach For the Top team, and we made it to nationals when I was in grade 11.  Haven't tried out for anything bigger, but it could be fun.

    It's an easy slip to make, I realize . . . my annoyance is a major downside of the piles of trivia books I was obsessed with as a kid.  My English teacher didn't like it when I corrected her poetry analysis.

     And it is a beautiful print, so the distraction is entirely understandable. Cool

  • This misunderstanding really
    04/24/2008 - 20:27
    This misunderstanding really annoys me -- the "wherefore art thou Romeo?" doesn't mean "Where are you, Romeo?", it's "Why must you be Romeo?" and thus, a Montague, therefore an enemy of her family and the worst possible guy she could fall for.

    Try saying it wasn't to your tastes, put in the cover blurb, then rant away. Sometimes I find that I want to read a book after reading a negative review -- it might be that one person's pet peeve is another's guilty pleasure.

     . . . that, or to give fair warning to anyone who would otherwise have to suffer through a piece of dreck.
