Ramesis, The Temple of a Million Years by Christian Jacq

I enjoyed the book when I read it last year - talk about being caught between a rock and a hard place:( Whilst I don't believe Koontz is the best of writers, his storylines are entertaining and the characters believeable. As to comparing this particular book to his others... I cannot say...

All the better for keeping his readers 'fascinated'. Pure magic:D

You have to be a very good girl for the elusive book fairy to visit. As for Pontalba lending me some bookshelves.... Sounds like fighting talk to me. Now that her new ones have arrived I doubt very much if she'll part with them anytime soon.

The Book Fairy left me with a Mary Stewart book as I'd not read any of her novels - it's entitled This Rough Magic. Also couldn't resist two Terry Brooks novels - The High Druid of Shannara - Jarka Ruus and Antraxx. And to add to my reference library I picked up Catilin Matthews book...

Mmm, I wonder what wonders tomorrow will have in store;) That's not coffee - you must be mistaken. Hey, Holmsie we need your investigative skills - coffee or soot:p And get Dr Watson too, we may need his medical assitance:p Just teasing - I'm sure your coffee tastes just right she says...

I was struck by the emotion of this bowl scene too. And you are so right - the receiving of a gift by someone you care about is one of life's treasured moments - and highlighted further when gift receives praise from others. Can you imagine the bond that would have formed between Timofey and...

OMG they're here, they're here. Breath woman, breath - that's it nice deep breaths. In fact go get another cup of (steeped:p ) tea and a couple more sandwiches - you'll need to build your strength up:p

No surprises there - after all our VN is a genious - even in his early days. And I must get started on Glory myself. Tried yesterday but the Book Fairy waved her magic wand and lo and behold I found myself standing in the middle of a book shop. Oh the temptation of it all. At this rate I'll...

Yes, but they didn't really get to know him and Pnin didn't really want to get to them either except for a well-chosen few. And it wouldn't surprise me if those that looked down upon Pnin don't get their come uppence somewhere else in Nabokovia - I'm sure VN paid them back;) And then again, I...

Now who's the tease. Ms P you are a very bad influence and now Peder is at it too!! Like I said before... Two Ps in a pod:D And knights in shining armour are not just for kids. I'll say one word (name) 'Jamie'. Ms P will understand I know;)

Ah, but those that take the TIME to get to know Pnin warm up to him very nicely indeed. And I think he is absolutely adorable too:D

Within the pages of a Fantasy novel maybe;)

Here, wear these.

Either that or the moon is particularly bright:p

PS: Good Morning all

Reading that first para in the Amazon book description fits HH to a 'T': Wandering the earth (to hide his dirty little secret), tortured existence (knowing what he wants/does is wrong), looking for someone who will take on his contract (poor little Lolita);) Thanks for the link Pontalba and...

And here's hoping it stays well to the north. Not that I'd wish a tornado on any one but we've got enough trees down as it is. I reckon it will take the better part of a year to get them up cleared up.:(

Or.... it could really have happened. I'm telling ya these little critters are something else. I can tell you a true story cos I was there. One bright and sunny spring morning I went for a short walk. I was quietly minding my business when a flurry of activity caught my attention. I had...

Ah, could be. We are under a tornado watch:(
