Hehe, oh yes - there's a line to get my autograph! But seriously, the creation of this vid has made me wonder about how this storyline will be dealt with in the next book - IF indeed it will be dealt with, coz with regards to the context and the values and beliefs of that time period, i don't see how they can bring Fee's dad to justice really..... though God, i hope they do!

hehe! Guess what! I cancelled my order with Amazon because they were taking way too long. I bought it from Barnes and Noble and I have it in my possesion MWAHHHHAHAHAHA!! It's ginormous... I have so far read her acknowledgements which are hysterical in themselves. Since it is my sister's book I have to wait until she is done with the book. BUT! Under your recommendation I am reading I Capture the Castle and I love it! I can't bring myself to finish the book. What did u think about the whole Simon & Cassandra thing!

You lucky ducky - we don't have it here yet, to my knowledge. I'll have to wait til the end of the week i expect to got to Borders and have a look-see, but rest assured if it be there, me BUY BUY BUY! And as for ICTC and the Simon/Cassie thing, i really really feel for poor Stephan - he's a lovely guy, in many ways much much more immediately likable and accessible than Simon IMO. But then, love isn't meant to be understood by anyone else other than yourself.

That's true/ I finished it yesterday and the ending felt extremely bittersweet... Especially when Simon was still in love with Rose and Cassandra knew that when he had almost asked to marry her it was only in the spur of the moment and not because he cared for in that way....

Hehe, it's ok sage - Lostgirl has kindly given me spoilers, coz i was dying of curiousity. I have however ordered my copy and it should be here *it has to be delivered from the US, as we still don't have it here yet* within the next week or so - hopefully! But once i have all the facts devoured for myself, sage, i will be ready for a most in-depth discussion, i promise! There are certain things i already know i shall be saddened by, annoyed with, or relieved over.

Sage, we can finally talk about SFT - I finished it last week, but as i've been without a comp, i've had to wait for out chit-chats and debates! I really enjoyed it, but found many themes and ideas depressing - in a good way, if that makes any sense! The characters all followed interesting paths and the conclusions to each persons' storyline was either satisfying or at least thought-provoking.
