It took me a while to get around to it but sometimes you appreciate a book more if you've waited to read it.Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-82007257539391811912009-08-10T04:03:17.797+01:002009-08-10T04:03:17.797+01:00I have this on my Mount Tooberead!

There are some books that I *had* to have right away but still haven't read a year or two later. Makes no sense.<br /><br />Nymeth: yes, it was thought provoking and interesting and also quite beautiful in places. I'd love to hear what you think when you get to it.Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-23576565988890757812009-08-09T22:05:38.624+01:002009-08-09T22:05:38.624+01:00This has been on my list for far too long.

Other books I read straight away - I need to work out why, but I suspect it's just how my mind works!BooksPleasehttp://www.booksplease.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-17288765229225409632009-08-09T10:30:09.885+01:002009-08-09T10:30:09.885+01:00Jeane: yes, I agree completely and can see this on...Jeane: yes, I agree completely and can see this one staying with me for a while too.<br /><br />Danielle: this one is not your average fantasy book, it's a lot more than that and I think it might interest you. One to get from the library maybe?<br /><br />Pat: that's an interesting thought and it would make a really good meme - which literary characters have you been attracted to that you shouldn't have? Except that the list would be very short! Other than Marak I can't think of any. Which is silly because there must be others. 'Snape'... he would be another one.Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-78687827870828622112009-08-09T10:17:27.725+01:002009-08-09T10:17:27.725+01:00Only twice has someone who "should not" ...Only twice has someone who "should not" be the one that appeals to me happened.

I loved it- for all the reasons you name. The author did such a great job at creating atmosphere and that feeling of confusion and need- the boys each seeking to find out how they belonged.Jeanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02270303640902731044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-41122823486290692392009-08-09T00:14:42.657+01:002009-08-09T00:14:42.657+01:00Hi Pat.

But yes, if I vote with my heart those win hands down, *probably* because I love the romantic aspect of Clare B. Dunkle's books... and Marak of course.<br /><br />Kailana: I had no idea KD had a new book out! I'll go and look in a moment.<br /><br />Booklogged: It's the kind of book that makes you think a lot about various issues. Plus the setting is so very beautiful. It's a worthwhile book, imo.Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-19767420664496249552009-08-08T22:22:55.695+01:002009-08-08T22:22:55.695+01:00I remember seeing reviews for this one.
