Yes, Lucia is a pill, but she gets her comeuppances now and then. And the episode of the Guru was hilarious. No these are not characters to warm up to, I think it's the writing itself that warms me up.

I think I'm going to like them very much. I waited this long because I just felt I wasn't ready.

I do hope I enjoy them after all this build-up! I'm sure if I do, I'll need to see the TV series too. Lifetime Reader, M&L sound like fun, I hope we have a similar sense of humour when I actually dive in.lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-69345496517159570642010-12-16T07:58:19.787+11:002010-12-16T07:58:19.787+11:00Gorgeous editions!

Then BBC did a mini series on the books, which were so much what I had imagined while reading. I read paperbacks, nothing a lovely as the Folio editios. <br />Enjoy!Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15988251415347075888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-37419675630505168162010-12-13T08:22:37.328+11:002010-12-13T08:22:37.328+11:00I think I might have to decorate a room to match t...I think I might have to decorate a room to match those Lyn! And I do agree about the beauty of the Folio editions, I have a few that they have very kindly sent me and they never disappoint. Sometimes just essential to have treasured reads in treasured editionsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
