  1. That's funny, I think it does make quite a lot of sense. The whole book is about Blue trying to understand what happened and how. She's basically doing a study over all the disasters [her special topics in calamity] that has happened in her life [basically the physics: motion, time, energy, force of nature, "to understand the order of how [her] life works"..] so, I think it's a rather clever play with word.
  2. So much happens in every episode. Crazily fast paced! and that's why it's so good
  3. Oh! I love this show!! And it just gets better and better, if that's possible.. Caroline is quickly becoming my favourite, and Katherines evilness is perfect.Can't wait for thursdays episode!
  4. Hi! Welcome to the forum
  5. She's not that well known here, or known at all I would say, so summer sisters is the only one I know. And you're right,she writes characters one can relate to easily. It's fun to see how different one sees them all now from the first time reading it. Hope you find it!
  6. This sounds so good, I have to find it at the library! Thanks (:
  7. ^Really good casting! The first I was sure it was the same actor and that they'd only made him look smaller while on the bike...
  8. Sorry! I'm just too picky and didn't really like his writing style, and the dialogue! we don't talk like that... So if you're finding it excellent now I'm sure you'll like the rest of them
  9. I started his first one, but never liked it so gave up..
  10. The Denali coven has been cast as well!
  11. the guardian (I think it's called that?) about the us coast guards. very predictable and quite a rip off from the richard gere one, but not bad at all.
  12. I liked the film, and the subject of the book but never really his writing... So I do agree with you about that big parts of the book felt boring and could have been cut out without hurting the story.
  13. Hi! Was wondering if anyone else here has read Summer Sisters by Judy Blume. Would like to hear others thoughts about the ending and the characters in general. (:
  14. It's not her best one, but it definitely deals with an interesting subject. When I've misplaced something I can't find I like to pretend it's now in the place where all lost things ends up, socks, persons, things... (: The beginning of the book wasn't as easy to get into as her others but it grew on me.
  15. Those are harsh words! She's far from the best author out there, and her writing is very simple most of the time but they are charming and filled with emotions that makes you both laugh out loud and cry. All the subjects she takes on are such that I find myself thinking about long after I've finished the books. A place where all lost things ends up, imaginary friends... I guess I would say she writes fairy-tales for grown-up kids (:
  16. In a way we see the things we wanna see. The crime itself is only used a catalyst, it's the atoning that the book is about, especially Briony's but also the other characters.
  17. Isobel, Izzy, Julia's twin sister is a lesbian. (:
  18. ^ true! and some make up and they all look fabulous...
  19. I agree with what you said. And it really bothered me that they changed the whole "Kirk O'Bain" (or what name she used..) storyline, Marcus and Ellie's relationship just never made sense for me in the film as it did in the book.
  20. I've realised that when I'm stressed out about things as I am now I lose my patience to get into the book. I need to be hooked after a half page or so or I loose interest.. I've tried rereading books I like but mostly it's just makes me jump from the different parts that I remember liking. So annoying!
  21. Erlend Loe's books are absurd and easy and most of them are fun. Same goes for Douglas Coupland, especially All families are psychotic, it's easy to read, fast paced, definitely absurd and funny. I think I have to find some of Jasper Fforde's book myself now
  22. I can't seem to concentrate enough to really read at the moment so am just reading chapters and parts from the most emotional book I've read.. Have started Jane Eyre though, and so far so good.
  23. Your fairy is called Moth Willowglow She is a caster of weird dreams. She lives close to crystal caverns and stalagtite grottos. She is only seen in the light of a full moon. She collects crystals to wear on her dresses. She has delicate green coloured wings like a cicada. she sounds pretty sweet
