am super trooperly sleepy right now
not good
am lazy to type out everything i am thinking
i dont want to be sleepy!
i want to get cracking on my new book >:
just finished This Charming Man tonight
Lola and Rossa Considine got together!
:> (smug 'i-told-you-so' moment here)
but great story anyhow, plus i absolutely love the plot in a plot thing. the last time i read a book like that was such a long time ago i dont even remember the title. i do vaguely remember the plot though, but This Charming Man has more angles and less giveaway on 'past' plot, so it trounces! (am starting to recall now, was prolly a louise bagshawe book, although is uncharacteristic of her and differentish from her usual books, nevertheless same great flair)

and did i mention the cover is just rocking? love the textures, colours, everything! might put it up on wishlist, bad thing to do, really, i might just end up with book-buying addiction on top of my shoe addiction. especially with my fetish for new books.

so great story, loved it, not too long-drawn, finished off nicely without leaving me wanting to know more (or maybe im just too sleepy). except i do wonder, a little, what happened to Paddy and Alicia, although whatever it is cant be nice so maybe i dont really want to know either. amazingggg story despite dark themes. AND funny at times AND lovely AND didnt make me cry (so is not some sappy love story although Lola and Considine did get together) AND interesting AND long enough without being long-drawn, great book great book if i want to buy it must be a great book (not to discount great cover too).

okay shall stop waxing lyrical about TCM, i only seem to be going in circles, but it is an awesome awesome book AND it comes full circle(so important to me in a book).

"If you drove all night," I said, "you must have gone via Morocco. (Is) only three-and-a-half-hour journey."

- Lola to Considine on him driving all night to reach her
