Oscar Wilde as amateur sleuth??? I want to read!

I couldn't resist it!! I'll let you know what it's like, don't know if I can seriously review it for SiN, though. Probably not. Curse me and my strict rules.

Can't wait to see what you'll make of Oscar Wilde and the Candlelight Murders - I'm not sure if I love it or hate it - picked it up at Waterloo last week on the way to Derby and have passed it onto my best mate for her opinion!

I'll let you know.... But first, HARRY DRESDEN and the super smexy Sirius Clone, Thomas....

I very much hope you enjoy Lian Hearn's Across the Nightingale Floor. If you do, there's the rest of the trilogy, then a fat follow-up novel, and most recently (and probably that'll be it) an exploration of what happened earlier. (I don't have that yet - waiting for the hardback price to come down. I like these novels well enough I decided hardcover was the way to go.)

Her not-Japan is wonderfully complex and satisfying, her characters a mix of great and flawed, their interactions fascinating, and she's not afraid of real tragedy.

i read AtNF a good few years ago, just as a random - pull off the shelf read - long before I even discovered the joys of m/m, and I rememeber that I enjoyed it, even though I can't remember anything much about it. I know that I nicked the floor for Lucius' house when i got to fanfic...

So I'm very much looking forward to reading it again - I had no idea there were others! Are they m/m? should they be on The List?

[leni-jess.livejournal.com]

Not candidates for The List, sorry. The principal pairing is het, and so are their other entanglements. One could well imagine slash fanfic for the hero and his mentor [just cut several words here so as not to spoil you, if you're really forgotten!], but it's not in the text.


And I must get back to The Dresden Files! I was halfway through Summer Knight when I left The Hague, and haven't got back since. So much to read, so little time!

The Brandreth one is great - I loved it!

I read the foreward and really liked the sound of it, I can't wait to get to it!
