Best belated Christmas gift ever: Sarah Rees Brennan has posted a new parody of the second Hobbit movie. The last one absolutely delighted and this latest one, entitled Thorin Dreamboatshield: Dreamboat Reloaded, is equally hilarious. Enjoy!
If I'm being perfectly honest with myself, I've done a shamefully poor job of addressing my love for Cat Sebastian 's books around these parts. I've certainly noted each time her beautiful stories have appeared on my end-of-the-year best of lists, see: The Perfect Crimes of Marian Hayes , basically every book in The Cabots series , and of course We Could Be So Good . And the pull is, quite simply, this: nobody is as kind and gentle with their characters and with their hearts than Cat Sebastian. Nobody. I haven't always been one for the gentler stories, but I cannot overstate the absolute gift it is sinking into one of Sebastian's exquisitely crafted historicals knowing that I get to spend the next however many pages watching two idiots pine and deny that feelings exist and just take care of each other as they fall in love. I wouldn't trade that experience for the world. Not this one or any other. Only two things in the world people count by months. H
Thanks for posting this! I loved the first but don't follow Sarah's blog closely, and I probably would have missed it without your link. I've also passed it along to everyone I thought would enjoy it (and a couple of friends on the borderline). *grin*
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure, Cece. :) Her parodies are my absolute favorite.
