Extolling the virtues of Meredith Ann Pierce

[equustel]

I wish I could write like this woman.

After so many years, I'm finally finishing up her Darkangel trilogy - PaperBackSwap granted me the final two volumes, A Gathering of Gargoyles and The Pearl of the Soul of the World (with much prettier covers than the recent reprints, hooray!). It's a shame that Pierce's books have flown so far under the

Ugh, god, ili SO MUCH. I also realized on my most recent reread that basically all the active agents in those books are women, if only by virtue of how it all comes back to Ravenna and her daughter. And Aeriel is so BRAVE and I get a little :\ over Erin sometimes but for the most part omg ♥

Ooh, good point. Gah, I'm so excited to find an f-lister that hearts Pierce! I was hoping this post might draw a couple out. Whee!

Man, I have so much love for this little world - I'm trying to take it slow and just luxuriate a bit because I will be sad when it's over. :( I sometimes try to picture what a film adaptation of it would look like, but then I just get scared, because it'd have to be something so unlike what's been done before and what are the odds of someone faithfully adapting a book this little-known and D: but! So gorgeous omg!

Speaking of, I've always thought the Firebringer trilogy (don't know if you've read it or not) would make a beautiful animated epic, but with 3D all the rage now, that's even more of a lost cause. Sigh. Oh, my brain. The movie in your head is better anyway.

Should I buy an expensive wedding ring...

A question to you all. Guys, do you feel pressured to go all out and spend lots of cash on an engagement ring to impress your girlfriend?

Girls, does the money dropped on the ring actually increase how much love you feel for your man?

I dont have a super big bank account but the ring I bought for my love the other day she said was to small so that was sad and now I don't know what to do. So, what's your thoughts on this?
