This line does not sound like you at all and I can't figure out why.
"Double-D-Means-Th" Thing That I Always Forget, Frickin' Celtic/Welsh/Fffdlyrd Languages
these languages require more saliva to pronounce correctly than i think the entire west coast of the united states could collectively produce
I couldn't come away from the novel without minding to watch things or telling off the bairns for their foolishness when there's work that needs doing.
i love it when this happens, so much. LEND THIS BOOK TO ME unless it's a library book, in which case dang
I will write a fantasy set in a D&D cutout world and you will like it anyway
you do realize that that's pretty much guaranteed to at least pique my interest, i don't know what all this "anyway" stuff is, man
would you kindly tell me why all my punctuation and capitalization always devolves into nonexistence when i comment on your posts
idk probably because you're pretending to chat? I mean my Is always deteriorate when I chat with you.
also probably because I probably stole the line.
also lol they're so much fun.
also it is a library book but it's from bailey cove. also I just renewed it, so you could borrow if you turned it in by the...6thish? idk I'll tell you. :-D :-D
Oh book reviews! Nice. I appreciate, more than I can say, your reading the Princetta, and biographies, and that Ranger's Apprentice book so I don't have to.
I really liked Book of a Thousand Days. Not as much as Goose Girl, though.
Read Eagle of the Ninth! See if it doesn't remind you of A Conspiracy of Kings. Only without the humor.
I'm relieved to see that other commenters didn't absolutely love Book of a Thousand Days, although it still doesn't help me figure out why I didn't love it. I'd probably have to read it again. And I still have to find Goose Girl.
I love Quest for a Maid. When I saw Braveheart, there's that scene at the beginning where he's just a kid and they find all the men hanging, and I was tugging on Dr. C's sleeve going, "I know what this is!! This happened at the end of Quest for a Maid!! I totally know what's going on!" which was cool 'cause he didn't.
I also read Shining Company this past year -- believe I posted about it a while back. For more side-by-side religion of that era, see also Nancy Farmer's Sea of Trolls trilogy and the movie The Secret of Kells.
That's interesting about Book of a Thousand Days. I liked it but didn't love it as much as I expected to. I think Princess Academy remains my favorite Shannon Hale.
oh yeaaaaaaaaaaaah! man Braveheart. I had to leave the room about the fiftieth time Robert de Brus de Elder screwed everyone over and scream into a pillow and missed about twenty minutes, but other than that, it was really good.
oh, I will go back and look for the post--I think I skipped it because I hadn't read it.
That's kind of how I feel about 1000 Days. It felt like I should love it, and yet I didn't.
Oh thank you! I really enjoyed this post. Some good ideas here. I have read R Sutcliff but not that one; I bought Book of a Thousand Days but I haven't read it yet. I will look for Zel, and maybe even Notorious, even though I'm not much of a biography reader (since those little ones from grade school). Keep 'em coming!!!

Ooh! I want to see that soooo bad! Our independent theater showed it, but I was out of town that week and I'm so disappointed!
