so I was wondering...
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.

I understand, and as a reader, it's great to get new installments out every year. But at this point, I'd really like the authors to go back and, you know, re-publish and say "um, here was what the sequel was meant to be if I had longer than 6 months to write it."
Heck, even Garth Nix, who's a great writer, managed the excellent Sabriel, then Lirael (though if it were any more aimed at angsty teens, she'd have worn black nail polish), but sort of fell off the track with the finale, the much shorter and somewhat incoherent "Abhorsen".
