No snow on the ground. I'm glad this year, we are in the middle of getting the hole in the foundation finally fixed, and I don't have to worry about ice so long as it's not wet out. No ice equals no falling, as you know! lol <br /><br />I don't know how many books I have on my tbr shelf, it must be close to 400 too. I have a couple more to pick up for my Christmas box, and then I'm going to do that challenge and not buy any books until April. *shiver* lol!!!<br /><br />Yaay for getting Seraphina soon! I really hope you enjoy it.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095246748581382752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145452263098688113.post-7198356460496432552012-12-06T04:30:12.192-05:002012-12-06T04:30:12.192-05:00Well, they're predicting another winter like 2...Well, they're predicting another winter like 2010/11 for the UK and the snow is creeping slowly towards us in the SW. So yes, Susan, I really do need to make sure I have enough books in the house! (We won't mention the 400+ books already on my tbr pile...)<br /><br />I checked my library catalogue online and it turns out my local town library has a copy of Seraphina! I was very surprised and will grab that next time I'm in there.<br /><br />Oh, you already have the first book of that Jane Austen series. I really should have guessed that. lolCathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145452263098688113.post-53869411490690789502012-12-05T17:22:32.294-05:002012-12-05T17:22:32.294-05:00Kelley: thanks so much for coming by and leaving a...Kelley: thanks so much for coming by and leaving a comment. Merry Christmas to you too :-)<br /><br />Aarti: Yes, it did end in a way that was satisfying, didn't it? It was good to have this part of the story wrap up, even as it continues on. <br />I'm glad you enjoyed it too. It's such a fun fantasy.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095246748581382752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145452263098688113.post-87393113824260630582012-12-04T21:02:44.798-05:002012-12-04T21:02:44.798-05:00I liked this one a lot, too- looking forward to se...I liked this one a lot, too- looking forward to seeing what happens next, though like Ana, I am glad she ended it in a way that kept me satisfied until then :)Aartihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02354873119188597611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145452263098688113.post-6321640173900471662012-12-04T02:45:06.131-05:002012-12-04T02:45:06.131-05:00I do enjoy the Virtual Advent tour.

I haven't read any of the Jane mystery series, though I do have book one waiting to be read. <br /><br />Ana: yes, the ending of this book was satisfying, though I so much want to know what happens next! I didn't know you had read it too, it was Memory's review early this year that caught my eye. I have to link to both of you as soon as I get some time. And come to read your review too :-) I'm delighted you enjoyed it so much too. <br /><br />Belle: Thanks! I'm not very musical either, except I can hear it really well - I have some ability to hear rhythm, even if I can't play or sing it! So I love it when I hear someone and that pure sense of creative energy comes through, and Seraphina sings that way in the book. I hope you find it soon - I got it out from my library, since the softcover is out only next fall.

I'm not very musical myself, but the energy and passion in music can blow me away sometimes. I'm definitely adding this book to my TBR!Belle Wonghttp://msbookish.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145452263098688113.post-19420180235395953022012-12-03T13:00:29.027-05:002012-12-03T13:00:29.027-05:00I can't wait for the next book either, but I a...I can't wait for the next book either, but I actually found the ending satisfying in a way - it at least closes this phase of the story, if that makes sense. Anyway, so glad you loved this! One of my favourites of the year as well.Ana S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16092495983972185943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145452263098688113.post-51129026275080959842012-12-03T04:22:34.917-05:002012-12-03T04:22:34.917-05:00Ok, well I'll take a look at this on Amazon......Ok, well I'll take a look at this on Amazon... to add the 2 books I already ordered over the last couple of days (book 2 of the Green Rider series and Jane and the Unpleasantness at Scargrave Manor by Stephanie Barron, have you read any of this Jane Austen crime series?). Not to mention High Rising by Angela Thirkell which came last week. I'm having Christmas early....Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.com
