Apologies for a Gothic Tuesday at this late hour, ma petite belles! I am in France, and today I was trapped in a manor, the power off, our electric gates not working, and my friends trying to scale the walls.

Gothic problems, man. Gothic problems.

Don’t worry, I kept a cool

this is the first gothic novel i ever read, and it's still not been topped in my heart.

It's great, right? Must have been odd to read, all the references to other books... but fun to find them afterwards. ;)

Someone tell me there is an icon somewhere that says "Excuse you, it is always linguistic byplay o'clock."

I must track this book down, it sounds amazing.

[sarahtales]

Maybe someone will make one. ;) *looks about hopefully*

That is fantastic; seriously-- and, as an academic, I appreciate it even more (in the "mad chortling about the BOOK-LOVING NINJAS" sense)

*goes off to check the academic want-ads to see if the book-loving ninjas might be hiring....*

Uh, so speaking as a woman writer, I'd have to say I'm pretty glad my style is NOT driven by blood-congested genitals.

Sarah, don't be silly. You can totally read in the shower with a little creative maneuvering.
