In Dublin, and it's beautiful. There was an 'episode' earlier where I couldn't find my hotel, but obviously that's sorted now! I do find it uncool that the street the hotel is on is not on my map ( Read more... )

It is! And I do love sparklies. Like those tiny cupcakes!!

WHAT WILL I DO WITHOUT THEM!?!?!?! Beyond making my characters have them so I can live vicariously... Which is just sad!

American Gods is one of the Gaiman works I hear raved about the most, so it should be good :)

Enjoy your crazy Irishmen!

It was that way for me with Angelspit. I preordered their new album simply because Amelia Arsenic is so lovely :)

Well, he was right. You are pretty!

I do know I love his words though, because that Amanda Palmer book is incredible.

Thank you, Lewiface :D

I love the bustle of Grafton Street, but if you need help from any of the stores I found the people act like they are your family, they were so caring & helpful.

I too found Wicked too hard to get into - its one of my very few unfinished books, but then I don't feel so guilty about it now.
Neil Gaiman's American Gods was quite wonderful - almost Clive Barker epic wonderful (if you like his stuff) - but it left me wanting a little.

I shall stick the others on my GoodReads bookshelf :)

Have fun :)

THAT'S where I should have asked. I got the greasy from a taxi driver but eh, I'm in Dublin, I got over it :D

I so rarely do not finish books. I read SO quickly, that I just devour them. But The Other Queen by Phillipa Gregory, and now Wicked are the two most recent ones. In the Other Queen, it's the SAME THING over and over again. Which bummed me out because I liked most of her other books! And the one I didn't like (Virgin's Lover) I could at least finish!

I started American Gods last night and couldn't stop reading!!! I finally put it down at like 3 am. Silly me! And I do love the Clive Barker and it makes me squee that Clive and Neil are friends :D And apparently this is a special edition so it's 12,000 words longer than the original.

The Bronze Horseman is just....woof. It's a trilogy and it's all based around the time of the siege of Leningrad (or that's when it starts) and it's incredible!
