Rambling by numbers

At last! Someone else other than me, blogging about getting the facts RIGHT in historical fiction - or indeed any fiction

Paid my overdue car tax today, six months overdue to be honest - I was lucky not to have a fine and points on my licence.  I was SURE it was for a year, but it was only six months and expired in January. Urghk.  Anyway, all legal again now and I was lucky to get away with a £40 overdue payment. But Gah I hate driving into Norwich, it's a veritable maze and everything goes one way and you really need to know where you are going and change lane speedily. Verily a 1000 year old city is not built for modern life.  They should pedestrianise the entire centre imho.

First Book asks "which book got you hooked on reading?."  Well, I'm sorry - who are they asking? Cletus?  "Dear Publishers Weekly. I don't know what the name of it was, because it was made of cloth and I was six months old."  Idiots.

My "how will you get banned from LJ" is too dull to post. This is annoying, as everyone else's have been hilarious.

Sod It. I'm bored. I'm going out for alcohol.

Ha ha fooled you. No numbers.

Yes, yes, spamalot, but I did say I was bored

 You know when you've been spending too much of your vacation playing Splinter Cell Double Agent when:

( Cut so I'm less annoying. )

And I've just been looking at this thread (which is out of date and this is pre-DH) and it's quite true. If Felix Felicis was so successful for Harry (and Ginny seemingly as all her attackers missed her) why did Hermione have such bad luck?  Perhaps she didn't take it?

And I've updated the M/M Historical Fiction List. gehayi  kindly put it into alphabetical order for me, and I've begun to link to reviews done and the Amazon links where available.  If you've done a review of any of the books that don't have a review please give me the link and I'll put it up there. It gets one of the highest hit rates on the site, so word must be getting around.  A lady called Brandy Purdy emailed me today saying that she'd written "A Confession of Piers Gaveston" which I have duly added to the list - has anyone read it?
