I love that when I go to sell some of my used books to Gilbert Joseph, I always come away having spent more money than I just won. And when I say "I love" I do mean "vaguely annoyed but pretends to be faintly amused" XD

So here... X volume 18, one Magicians of the Night which is a sequel to a first volume I don't have, and Patricia A. McKillip's Riddle Master's Game trilogy in one volume. I'm crazy buying books when I've read so little lately, my pile of books to read is getting huuuuge. Maybe I should drop the Barker and just try something else.

Anyway, drabble posted at

togakushishrine for Shi's First Kiss challenge. After all the gorgeous answers everyone else gave I feel slightly ashamed of my own, but I never pretended to be a great writer :p

Should go now... I have all those RPG characters I'm supposed to be fill the background of. *sighs* Really not in a RP mood lately.

EDIT : this cracked me up
Anne-Elisa: Canada's a bigger place than the USA anyway
Geoff: Its true. If we were in Prison, America would be our bitch because we are on top and bigger. ^_~
Anne-Elisa: LOL
Geoff: *loves that joke*
Anne-Elisa: oh my god... I must start to ship CanadaxUSA ; "Canada : I'm your seme, bitch !" USA : "eeep !"

Current Mood: nervous
Current Music: Leo Ferré - Avec le Temps

That is luverly you know, to have an extremely cool place where you can leave unwanted books and get a few more in exchange - ok, leaving some money there, but if I know our condition, you would have in any case. And you mean person, you are giving me Gilbert Joseph cravings, i want to! I can order and do order stuff online, but there is NOTHING like a bookshop for real.

And call me your addiction pusher, when you see something by either Martha Wells or Lynn Flewelling give it a try, I think you might like those, and they are good.

LOL ! I know I am hideously priviligized for living in Paris where there is so many cool bookshops where to do those stuff. And it's good I am, because I hate ordering books online - I actually never did it. Besides, it gives me an excuse to go out from my home and take a breath of fresh air.

And call me your addiction pusher, when you see something by either Martha Wells or Lynn Flewelling give it a try, I think you might like those, and they are good.

*chuckles* Sweetie, you say that as if I hadn't already read everything Flewelling published. As for Martha Well, yes I do remember your rec. But she's near impossible to find in english, and in french she's translated in that scandalously expensive edition I don't want to buy unless it's a bargain sale.

I sympathize with your envy ;) come live in Paris ! ^^

From:

generalblossom.livejournal.com

Well, I would go visit in an instant you know, though Paris is apparently not sufficiently varied to find Martha Wells in English ;) ( there are some advantages to ordering online unseem, sigh, though nothing like bookstores already crammed full of stuff you want).

*envy* And sorry for the Flewelling rec, forgot you had read her, though *preens* I knew you would like her :)

etrangere.livejournal.com

though Paris is apparently not sufficiently varied to find Martha Wells in English ;)

Hehe, good point :)
If you ever get the chance and time to visit Paris again, you do know I would be glad to invite you home, right ?

And sorry for the Flewelling rec, forgot you had read her, though *preens* I knew you would like her :)

*chuckles* With all that slash, how would I not ? Seriously thought, Flewelling is one of those writers who i'm keeping an eye on because althought she's not very good yet, she's improving at an impressive speed. I have no doubt she will become one of the great ones in time.

Thanks for the invite, I wish I could take it, maybe one of these days. Thanks yet again though!

About Flewelling, even her first books were good, nice stuff, IMO, the writing was nice, and the plot interesting enough, but yes, she is improving and improving, though she was already more than Ok to start with. If only she would write the final of the Tamir trilogy - but it should be out next year, apart from any AFFC syndromes happening!

From:

etrangere.livejournal.com

She was okay, but... evil empires of Necromancer sorta makes me go "heh", 'especially with prophecies to deal with it : /
But she already had a nice grasp of characters. I especially liked Traitor's Moon, very ambiguous crime story plot in a fantasy setting, was very nice to read. And the Tamir trillogy is, of course, so far excellent. Very capturing.

From:

generalblossom.livejournal.com

Agreed, the real evil dudes are evil dudes - though she has a talent for extra-gory. But I am wimp, so can not be sure!

OMG I have to tell that Canada/US joke to Everyone I Ever met Right Now.

LOL!

Their love is so continental ! ^^
