so I was wondering...

[seperis]

So this is the thing about Twilight by Stephanie Meyer - the more sporkings and reviews I read, the more I want to read it. You see, that angsty obsessive vampire thing is something I never got over. Plus, sparkly.

Now, to what I'm actually looking at thoughtfully.

Master: An Erotic Novel of the Count of Monte Cristo (Paperback) by Colette Gale, who also wrote Unmasqued: An Erotic Novel of The Phantom of The Opera, which I am also looking at thoughtfully. Mostly because I have this suspicion this is going to be very, very bad.

And also, despite the fact it's called Master, apparently this is not going to be about Edmund taking it and liking it from the prison guards.

...this could be sleep deprivation. Anyone read either one and give me a yes/no?

Also.

Phantom by Susan Kay, which my favorite extensions of Gaston Leroux's original. It's really good. And it's really fun. And it builds a *lot* on the history of the Phantom.

ETA: Huh. I forgot she also wrote Legacy about Elizabeth I and I really liked that one too.

While the idea of Twilight does nothing for me (not into vampires, sorry), I am intrigued by Legacy for two reasons: (1) I'm usually nuts for anything British History-related; and (2) the book got a perfect 23 votes for five stars. Geez, no one who rated it gave it less than a 5?? That puts it on my "interested-in-reading" list just out of principle.

When my car gets back from the shop (hopefully tonight and without too much damage to the family bank account) I think I'll head over to my favorite used book store and do a little browsing. This guy carries a lot of hard-to-find good books if you're willing to go digging through rows and rows of uncategorized books...which I usually am *g*.

Legacy is extremely interesting. I'm not entirely sure how to categorize it, but it feels a lot different from most historical fiction.

Forget the car. Run! This and a particularly sappy Kathleen Woodwiss novel are the only historical romances I can pick up and read again and again.
Is it possible to give it more than a 5?

Can you tell, I love Legacy and cheer anyone considering it!

K.W.'s appeal ran out on me some time back, I'm sorry to say. Judith McNaught and most Nora Roberts works still make me squee *giggle*.

But I am anxious to read Legacy. It sounds like something that would be right up my alley.
