chaliepud Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 'The two tombstones were covered with a veil of cobwebs that fell apart like rotten silk with the flame from the lighter. The white marble was scored with black tears of dampness that looked like blood dripping out of the clefts left by the engraver's chisel. They lay side by side, like maledictions, chained together.'

poppyshake Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Oh I've read this recently It's The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon The tombs of poor Penelope and her baby Quote
chaliepud Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 I thought you might get this quickly Pops, well done! Over to you! Quote
poppyshake Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Yay!! okay then ... 'And there are never really endings, happy or otherwise. Things keep going on, they overlap and blur, your story is part of your sister's story is part of many other stories, and there is no telling where any of them may lead.' Quote
frankie Posted October 30, 2013 Author Posted October 30, 2013 Somehow familiar, although somehow not. I feel like I've read it, and I feel like I have not. Odd feelings, these I'll see what others will have to say... Quote
chaliepud Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 I'm pretty sure I've read this in the not too distant future, and may have an idea which book it is from, is it an unusual read? Quote
frankie Posted October 30, 2013 Author Posted October 30, 2013 Give us a teeny tiny clue, luv? Pretty please? Quote
gardengirl Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 sounds like an English author? [fishing a bit here] Quote
poppyshake Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Sorry .. I've been away with the fairies (that is not a clue ) I'm pretty sure I've read this in the not too distant future, and may have an idea which book it is from, is it an unusual read? It is quite an unusual read yes Give us a teeny tiny clue, luv? Pretty please? umhhh .. it would be filed under ... fantasy sounds like an English author? [fishing a bit here] It's not an English author gg. Quote
chaliepud Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 The NIght Circus (Erin Morgenstern/stein)??? Quote
frankie Posted October 30, 2013 Author Posted October 30, 2013 Oh wow, that was quick, chalie! Sounds very readable Quote
poppyshake Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Oh wow, that was quick, chalie! Sounds very readable It is indeed and I'm sure you would love it Quote
chaliepud Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 It was frankie, very readable and very unique! Ok, here is another... "We got to practice our skills somehow, don't we? Case we ever need to defend ourselves. Otherwise we'd get rusty. Plus there's rules. We ain't allowed to kill anybody. Just scare 'em up a bit, like. And if someone does get hurt, well, they're back right as rain the next day and don't remember nothing about it." Quote
frankie Posted October 30, 2013 Author Posted October 30, 2013 It is indeed and I'm sure you would love it It was frankie, very readable and very unique! I think it's the circus thing that makes me a bit hesitant. I've never liked circuses Although the book is definitely on my wishlist. Ok, here is another... "We got to practice our skills somehow, don't we? Case we ever need to defend ourselves. Otherwise we'd get rusty. Plus there's rules. We ain't allowed to kill anybody. Just scare 'em up a bit, like. And if someone does get hurt, well, they're back right as rain the next day and don't remember nothing about it." This sounds familiar... somehow.... This must be British? Quote
poppyshake Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Sounds like something the Badun's would say in 101 Dalmatians .. except they don't sound like they're talking about puppies so it can't be Is it a YA book chalie? Quote
frankie Posted October 31, 2013 Author Posted October 31, 2013 Are there any supernatural elements involved? Quote
chaliepud Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 Hmm, difficult one.. I'll just say yes but not in vamp/werewolf kind of way. Quote
frankie Posted October 31, 2013 Author Posted October 31, 2013 This is what's giving me grief: And if someone does get hurt, well, they're back right as rain the next day and don't remember nothing about it. I want to say Molly Moon's Incredible Book of Hypnotism but I think that's a children's book... Quote
frankie Posted October 31, 2013 Author Posted October 31, 2013 This can't be Harry Potter, can it? Quote
chaliepud Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 Nope to both.. I don't think you've read it frankie, it should mean more to someone who has and I know plenty on the forum have enjoyed it. Quote
frankie Posted October 31, 2013 Author Posted October 31, 2013 Okay... Will give floor to others Quote
