Also, I (accidentally) no sold your Jemisin fear and yes *gasp* I was so sad. I don't have an extra copy on me this year but I think it's available everywhere now. When you get round to it please let's do discuss. I have so many comments! I wish it was the type of book my book club would read because I have so many questions!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12471937819219493034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2856065630155928814.post-89326996461209902842011-11-01T10:48:21.296-07:002011-11-01T10:48:21.296-07:00Hi Rachel,

That is actually something for which to be congratulated.<br /><br />I'll go look at what goodreads says about Blood of Flowers & Wench now. Decided to bow out of my bookclub's reading of 'Snow Flower and Secret Fan'.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07498466631016466048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2856065630155928814.post-37587230370132421062011-10-30T22:04:05.467-07:002011-10-30T22:04:05.467-07:00Hey Kate - RRH is definitely interesting but the b...Hey Kate - RRH is definitely interesting but the bad execution sort of sucks the interesting out of it... unfortunately. If you decide to give it a try I'd love to hear what you think.<br /><br /><br />Hiya M - Have you read THE BLOOD OF FLOWERS or WENCH? Both are historical fiction and not of the usual variety.<br /><br />I know the moment you're talking about it Miranda Cheever... so many wallbangers that it's hard to settle on just one.

I remember watching that movie about Golden Crysanthemums on a similar principle of liking to see non-European history and then just saying "Whaaa?" or "Maybe I don't have the right cultural background to interpret this right?" and stuff like that.<br /><br />Miranda Cheever: Was a wallbanger DNF for me at the halfway mark when the hero (THE HERO!) turned into a petulant child and lobbed some sort of missile through a window to hit the heroine square in the chest. I was so done.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07498466631016466048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2856065630155928814.post-76402784225025129042011-10-25T06:45:00.839-07:002011-10-25T06:45:00.839-07:00Funky.

Julia Quinn usually manages the semblance of a romp. <br /><br />The others weren't on my radar but you've managed to make Red Riding hood at least sounds sort of interesting.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02495558736099438348noreply@blogger.com
