Gotta love Austen
Despite all of today's *grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr*-ness
(though Tigg, for your information you're the vocalization of "*bounce*" -- which I suppose is to be expected. at any rate, it kept me running for the rest of the day, so THANK YOU *heart*)
that eventually faded into lots of naps and a lightning storm, as well as PotO at Em's:
Mr Elliot STILL managed to sneak into my head.
A Letter Unwritten
Wtf?
Ah well.
Now, tWW on a makeshift bigscreen (the living room curtain)!
Ooh. Wait. This, I did at 4:fiftysomething this morning. I haven't reread it since, but it's my 'taking a kid out into the yard and shooting it' (or: just-after-finishing-the-book) So, I have just finished Paladin of Souls. Of course, as the chirruping birds remind me, I didn't... actually, sleep... but-that's-beside-the-point.
Here's the rundown, in veryveryshort because not a lot of people care, et cetera.
Firstly, I liked Paladin a lot more than I did Chalion. For reasons of focus, organization, hardcover, and, okay let's face it, the dudes. They were hawt *g* (shut up it's 5 in the morning and I am a teenage girl). Would say more; don't want to babble. But one is free to ask, I suppose; one always is.
Secondly, what The Curse of Chalion did for the concept of fate/providence, Paladin of Souls did for love; they both hit hard on the sacrifice scales, clearly. It's actually... hm.
...Shitshit, since when did fantasy novels start getting me into Abstract Rethink Mode? .::mutters to self and pads off in a wtf-ish daze, seeking tea and a nice view of the sunrise::.
N.B. if by this time tomorrow I'm clawing at the walls for a library with Hallowed Hunt on the shelves, please pat me on the head and tell me to simmer down because the sooner I start Hunt the sooner I finish it, and the sooner I finish it the sooner I fall over and land in science fiction. Am still digging in my heels about that and shouting 'no! no! no!'

If you want to tell her how much you are enjoying the books, her email address (I post it here because she uses it on Usenet; it's not a private one) is lbujold@myinfmail.com
She enjoys fanmail very much, has been known to squee a bit herself and is therefore entirely squee-friendly, and is, in general, as you know because you met her briefly before ever reading any of her stuff, a very cool and not at all scary human bean. :-)

Wouldn't you rather I patted you on the head and handed you the autographed copy I bought myself in Minneapolis yesterday? :-)

You are? Whyever for?
