Book 29  
Title: The Glass Books of the Dream Eaters
Author: G.W Dahlquist
Published: 2006
Pages: 753
Synopsis: In The Glass Books of the Dream Eaters three most unlikely heroes become inadvertently involved in the diabolical machinations of a cabal bent upon enslaving thousands through a devilish 'process': Miss Temple is a feisty young woman with corkscrew curls who wishes to know why her fiancé Roger broke off her engagement... Cardinal Chang was asked to kill a man but finding his quarry already dead he is determined to learn who beat him to it and why... and Dr Svenson is a chaperone to a dissolute Prince who has become involved with some most unsavoury individuals.
Rating: 5/5
Review: Exquisite! A wonderful page turner with not only a great mystery at it's core but some brilliant characters, I particularly liked Dr Svenson and deliciously evil Contessa. The language is crafted to evoke feelings of Conan Doyle, Dickens and a definite feel of the 19th century. I don't think I can praise it enough, I really enjoyed myself reading this and a definite recommendation to anyone who is a fan of the more bizarre. I also really loved the extra pages at the back of my copy with adverts from the time, maps of the manor, diagrams of the 'process' and other bits and pieces.

Have His Carcase, Dorothy L. Sayers  
"...But I'll have to get a decent frock if there if such a thing in Wilvercombe."

"Well, get a wine-coloured one, then. I've always wanted to see you in wine-colour. It suits people with honey-coloured skin. (What an ugly word 'skin' is.) 'Blossoms of the honey-sweet and honey-coloured menuphar'--I always have a quotation for everything--it saves original thinking."

"Blast the man!" said Harriet, left abruptly alone in the blue-plush lounge. Then she suddenly ran out down the steps and leapt upon the Daimler's running-board.

"Port or sherry?" she demanded.

"What?" said Wimsey, taken aback.

"The frock--port or sherry?"

"Claret," said Wimsey. "Château Margaux 1893 or thereabouts. I'm not particular to a year or two."

Equus mix: Dan on Late Night, Equus pics  
Equus on Broadway is quickly approaching its September start, and the publicity train is kicking into full gear.

Dan is scheduled to make a television appearance on NBC's Late Night with Conan O'Brien on August 25th. Late Night begins at 12:35 AM on NBC after The Tonight Show.

Additionally, last week we received a couple of publicity photos from Equus' production company. You can see a shirtless Dan right here and another one with him and Richard Griffiths here. There's also a promotional Facebook group you can join at this link.

Don't forget that you can purchase tickets to Equus and find more details about it on the official site.

I want to catch some rays, picnic and swim. I really just need a day at the beach before classes start!

Looking to Celebrate!  
okay, my exams are over.
Whether I passed or not is a different matter.
>.<

Anyway, to cheer me up, I was wondering if you could recommend me something good -
Something along the lines of Pansy's Volcano or Claiming Hermione and such.
*happy fics with yuminess*

Also, I realise this is not the best place for this fic request, but if any of you Dramione fans have some Blaise/Hermione tucked away somewhere secret, please share? I'm in need of one of those too.
 
Thanks.
*advanced payment of cookies and huggles*

I've made a change to the challenge:

Submit fanwork (art, fic, icons, whatever you can think of) of a particular ship pair and a fruit.

Any genre, any ship, any length, any fruit. I'm talking bananas , strawberries, mangos, peaches - any fruit!
It's easy, it's fun, and is a cure for writer's block.

Have at it!!

Here's some prompt responses I've gotten from this challenge: Tasty Fruits

Respond on this post as a comment. I will compile all of the replies into one entry and post them.
Thanx :)
