Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc Sec was super quirky and lots of fun. It had a bit of a cliffhanger ending so I'm hoping there will be more movies but I guess we'll have to wait and see.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how closely it follows the comics? Could always track those down to resolve the cliffhanger.
DeleteNow that is a true friend who can anticipate your book needs. My blogging partner has this same ability. Those purchase books look gorgeous and I look forward to getting your review thoughts.
ReplyDeleteIt's seriously a gift, I don't know how she does it.
DeleteI like how you refer to me as "swooping" in. It makes me feel like a dragon, and frankly, I'd make a kickass dragon. Also, how have I STILL NOT READ SERAPHINA? It's a travesty.
ReplyDeleteA TRAVESTY. But if you save it for closer to the release of Shadow Scale, I can probably be persuaded to reread it with you... ;)
DeleteAnd you would make a kick-ass dragon.
I've read A Long, Long Sleep a while ago. The premise is interesting and I remember enjoying the beginning and the middle, but the ending was kind of blah (the best word I can think of to describe it). Not in a way that would mess up the whole story, but just not fulfilling. Hope you feel differently about the end and enjoy the others.
