Done now. Back to unpacking.

[rikibeth]

Went to the Midnight Madness last night. Or, more accurately, showed up after eternaleponine got off work, picked up our wristbands, sloped off for dinner at China Pan, and then went back to join the festivities.

Here's a picture of melovechocolate dressed up as Tonks, with a Luna she found at the store:



You can't really see it, but she'd used iron-on letters to make a Weird Sisters T-shirt, along with her hair and wand and an emergency black bathrobe picked up at the Salvation Army because her Halloween Tonks robes from a few years back? Are knee-length now.

Borders made their money off of me during the wait. Three books (the new Emma Bull, a replacement copy of Cordelia's Honor because I dropped mine in the bath, and Virgin: The Untouched History) and a coffee drink.

I didn't start it before I slept. I started it at 9:30 AM after we'd dropped the rental car back at Enterprise (made scheduling repairs easier) and had picked up bagels and coffee.

I was done by 2 PM.

Have had nice chats with several friends about it.

After I finish my sandwich, it's back to unpacking for me.

holy christ you read fast!!

[rikibeth.livejournal.com]

Yeah. That was fast even for me but I was MOTIVATED. I am still not super thrilled with the ending but it could have been a lot worse.

There's a new Emma Bull?

Cordelia's Honor, along with _To Sail Beyond the Sunset_ (no, I don't know why, I just like it) are two I reread on a regular basis.

Territory. The Matter of Tombstone (OK Corrall, etc.) done as fantasy. A Western with magic.

And I love To Sail Beyond the Sunset myself. Comfort reading.

You totally win fastest reader award, jesus!

I need to post some pics I have of Fi from last night.

It almost felt like a stunt, reading it that fast, but I HAD TO KNOW.

eternaleponine and I have already sorted out the necessary retcons for Immortal Beloved.

Also, Percy/Oliver OTP.

a lot of my friends are done. however, my mom has our copy - and since she's going blind (until surgery - cataracts and deformed retina) she reads SLOW.

where is the pic of MeLoveChocolate???

For some reason the "insert image" didn't work.
