This reminds me of a story about a writer-friend of mine. She wrote a fill-in book for the Chalet school series, it went through eleventy-million rewrites, a bunch of pre-readers, then the assistant editor, editor, a final neutral read-over, only to be published with the wrong name for the main char...

Oh yes, I can see what you mean about Roger chaging, he's definately not the same "nice" man he was before. Can't rememember whether I posted about William Longespee while I was reading Time for Singing, but I don't like him any more now than I did then! I'm reacting a bit Hugh-like as the hair on t...

I'm currently reading this & enjoying it thoroughly - I'm only in Oct 1207, so not very far at all, but I just wanted to post about something that made me laugh & think that nothing much has changed in the last 800 years. :) Mahelt's irritation boiled up. Why did her father-in-law have to interfere?...

In the main library (shared between SLOC & I) yhe books are alphabetical by author, then series order, the singletons in title alphabetical. The top shelf of each of the bookshelves are the non-fictions, and are fairly haphazardly organised (I'm a short-arse & can't reach them easily ;) ) And the ot...

They're mostly in storage at the moment - when I first moved in with SLOC, it was a small 2-bedroom unit, and there just wasn't enough room. Anyway, from memory: * Roman Vs Ancient Briton * Dr Who (the first one) * Star Wars x2 (one from the original trilogy, one from the new one) * Lord of the Ring...
