I have one friend who likes all the books I like - except for MWT. I don't know. Reading's a personal thing, I think; there will always be some book that you and another person will disagree on.

I think so--and it's a matter of where you draw lines. There are people whose taste I admire though we like very few of the same books, and there are others who like almost all the same books I do, but with exceptions that to me are just not right. XD

Oh, I read Her Majesty's Dog and enjoyed most of it, although I admit I was skimming a little in the middle. What's the last one on that row? It looks appealing, and I really like fighting romances. :D

Actually, besides Skip Beat, what else in on that first row? I find myself weirdly sucked in by the cover.

good grief, I'm logged into my poetry account... gossamer_spun October 13 2010, 01:43:15 UTC

The last row is Zettai Heiwa Daisakusen (Absolute Peace Battle!) where the prince and princess of long fighting countries (one seeming more Anglo, one seeming more Arabian) decide to marry for the sake of their countries' peace...but neither are having an easy time making peace with each other ( ... )
