While She Knits--Show and Tell

[idiosyncreant.livejournal.com]

*gosh, I'm tired...*

Guiding question for the week:

Is there a book where the descriptions or the character portraits or the settings just blew you away? Or cover art?
 Tell us about it. Give us quotes, if you want, as long as they're not spoilery, to give us a taste.

Or, chaos as usual.
  As you will have it. Carry on.

*thank you, Checkers, for the poke, I am half-dead and will be till November*

"just finished it" on my recommendation, that is, and really enjoyed it as she went along, too, though she had found the beginning off-putting.

Totally random/off topic/whatever but anachred, I LOVE your 'magus in question' icon. "Why did you come if not to kill my king?" "I came to steal his magus." "You can't," said the magus in question. "I can steal anything," Eugenides corrected him. "Even with one hand." One of my absolute favorite lines. Along with like a billion others.

Isn't he adorable?
It's Rickman, even, so yes. Love it. It was just too perfect to pass up.

One of my top 5 in QoA, I think, that section.

I just read it this morning. It was in class while we were waiting for our teacher to come back and I opened the book and remembered I was on chapter eight. I mouthed to my roommate who has read the books too, "I'm on chapter eight!!" and pointed and grinned. She just smiled, shook her head, and rolled her eyes.
