my pie in the sky wishlist at powells. really though, i can get more book elsewhere for cheaper so i'm all about the gift certificates! ;)
i'm not interested in making any money off of any of this, i just wanted to be able to post the book cover pictures because that's prettier and more interesting.
theoretically, i would get a comission off of any purchases through this site, but a) i'm not expecting a dime, and b) if i do get a dime, it'll go to a charity. which? not sure. if you have any ideas/inclinations, please tell me.
also, check out the following sites for (usually) cheaper prices: bookfinder.com, alibris.com, overstock.com, & bookcloseouts.com.
sequel to ‘the goose girl’, i was really looking forward to this book. overall, i liked it and more than anything was very happy to revisit the characters and world. but.. this book was a bit of a disappointment—the writing was just not as smooth and complex as it was in the first book.
the first book took several years to write – i believe 7 in fact. this book, on the other hand, took a year or two, and it shows. or maybe it’s more that the first was based on a fairy tale and so had a decided structure to it, whereas this second book felt quite rushed.
still, i really enjoy this writer’s style as well as her creativity and vision and will definitely read her forthcoming books.
