"They Say in Heaven Love Comes First..."

[rainbowjehan]

I forgot Don Quixote and my history book, so I had to get an emergency book from the library to read while I was at the gym to-day; since The Savage Damsel and the Dwarf was out, preventing me from rereading it again, I got out one called 'I am Morgan le Fay'. Is v. interesting so far, with nothing embarrassing. So far a little formulaic, but not

Ooh. I like I Am Mordred. The ending is very sad. I haven't read the Morgan one, though.

[rainbowjehan]

Really? ^___^ --Well, come on, how could it not be? It's the kids? The Morgan one is okay so far!

[canadabear]

This is true! But it kind of does a different twist at the end and it seriously made me cry the first time through because god, poor Mordred. I even got a muse out of it, but haven't found a place for her.

[rainbowjehan]

Oooo. Well, then. <3 That's endorsement enough for me.

I read I Am Mordred! I don't remember if it was good though. It was a while ago. Have you read Rosemary Sutcliff's Arthurian books? I love them.

[rainbowjehan]

XD NO FAIR. --NO not yet but I need to and I couldn't remember her name or I would have put 'MUST READ HER DAMMIT' in the post! ^^;;;

[reconditarmonia]

:P :P I think I read I am Morgan le Fay as well. There was a time when I read all the Arthurian stuff I could get my hands on. -Her books are amazing, OMG. There's a trilogy about the Round Table etc, and a Tristan and Iseult book. She's also written loads of historical fiction, but I've only read the Arthurians and, I think, two other books of hers.

[rainbowjehan]

Aha. And hee, that's--sort of what I do, but I have limits. I am not going anywhere the heck near Rosalind Miles, ohhhhh no. XD And oooo, okay. I must look out the Arthurians! ^__^ Do you happen to know the titles?

[bewareofitalics]

You read Peter and the Starcatchers? How was it? I've been avoiding it, having heard not-so-good things. But hey, maybe it's still better than that stupid book about Captain Hook's childhood. Or the stupid "official" sequel which hurt my soul. Whyyyyyy can no one get Peter Pan canon right? :(

(And yay, Don Quixote! I need to reread that one of these days...)

[rainbowjehan]

It was actually okay! I kept squeeing because everything kept neatly fitting in, and I love it when that happens. Admittedly, there was a love interest type person, but she went away in the end with no love happening (except that she comes back in the seprequel, WHAT is up with THAT there is no way that can be good), and--it worked. For, you know, being a totally serious prequel to a pretty non-serious and whacked-out book. But he was definitely respecting the canon.

(It is awesome and insane. XD)

[bewareofitalics]

Perhaps I shall try it, then! It would be tough to be worse than ickle!Hook randomly nicknaming his friend "Jolly Roger" and then randomly naming his ship after the friend. And also not being weirded out by the color of his blood. :P

(Have you gotten to the second half yet? Something in there is my favorite part, but I wouldn't want to give anything away... *g* And heeeey, you'd better stop reading all these books about knights, or your brains will dry up and you'll go insane!)

[rainbowjehan]

I think it's worth a try! Then you can wail at me for everything that's wrong. :D

(I'm exactly at the beginning. Ooooo, I can't wait to find out...! (I can't wait for Aldonza. ^^) And yes, really. Uh-oh. But I don't read any of the ones the priest burned?

The Savage Damsel and the Dwarf is, hands-down, my favorite Gerald Morris book! ♥

[rainbowjehan]

XD MINE TOO.

[cachecache]

!!!!! I think I love you 18% more now.

[rainbowjehan]

XD You so do not.

Gary says hi, by the way. :D And that you are a non-scary female.

[jiasachan]

. . . I've read both I Am Mordred and I Am Morgan Lefay and I was all excited to babble about them and then I realized I do not remember a thing! XD

Meaning this comment is entirely pointless. But, um. It happens sometimes. >.>

[rainbowjehan]

Heee! ^__^ <3333333 Do you remember them being good at all, though?

[jiasachan]

I think so? It was a long time ago. XD

[rainbowjehan]

Of course. XD

By the way, two quick questions! One, Percy wants to know whether Haynes is okay with a guuuuuuuuurl roommate, as he's offered Cimorene a room--and Mabon wants to post for Miz Deliverance with deer if that is okay?
