Got a box full of sequels to "The Rescuers" in the mail today. I am now concerned only with the heroics of mice. :D

Apparently the only cure for my cold is as much Gilbert Bythe as I can read. (And as much Anne, of course.)

I forgot how much I yelled at this book the first go round. I think the more I yell at the hero the more I end up liking the book though.

Gonna punch Darkwell in the face.

Well, I am looking forward to rereading the second installment now!

I rad this book about a year ago, I believe, but I honestly cannot remember who the villain turned out to be. I am once again trying to pull the pieces together.

Rereading! It is nice to read some gothic romance/mystery with more modern gender and race values! Such a good series. :) Not a series to judge by its cover.

Ah! Stop it Count Morano-- no means no. Emily doesn't want your advances, go home. >(

Finally done with "Volume One"- and, indeed, the Oscar Wilde quote about three volume novels applies. Still, excited to press onward and am delighted by the change of setting from France to Italy.

Switching to a paper copy! YAY! Man, I do not like our heroine's aunt.

And our hero returns!

I am hoping to get a paper copy of this book ASAP. I'm looking forward to it immensely. Must say, I am a bit tired of all the weeping and fainting, but otherwise am enjoying this read.

The first strains of the Gothic have been struck. Oooh, I am enjoying this book. Slow start, maybe, but worth every page of build up.

My kingdom for a paper copy of this book! Capital R Romanitic, as in the era with its grand scenes of man and nature. And a little small r romantic for romance as well. I keep thinking of "Room with a View"- I may need to reread and compare since View is "modern" where Udolpho is, well, historic.

The plot thickens! Oh, I wonder what St. Aubert is hiding... Determined to read at least one chapter daily now.

One chapter in. Not bad so far. I can see why some reviewers thought the beginning boring, but the character depth it adds is worthwhile in my opinion.

Not sure how I feel about this book. Hmmmm....

So far so good.

Oh dear, another spelling of Robin? This does not bode well... Please don't be Goodfellow. Please.

These books, man, I dunno... they're just too cool. I am glad my new favorites did not die. Yet. Bring it on Book Four.

Puck genuinely cringing is my new favorite part if the series.

... did my heart just break a little for Queen Mab? It did. Please don't be another Iron Horse moment, please.

Okay, everyone stepped up to bat. Good.
