(Um...someone who makes links that work, help me here....)

A little while back I wandered over to a post about the disappointing nature of much YA literature, on a blog called Ask Nicola.  I recommended she try the Attolia books, and she did!  She posted a review on July 15 under the heading Young Adult Adventure Redux.  And she loved them!  So, feeling very proud of myself now for connecting the right books to the right people.  But feeling also a little silly because my links always fail...

Philis! Even I can make a link. *shakes head sadly*

(From FAQs)

This is a link to an example website (http://www.example.com/)

*would very much like to read review*

Ah. The link has actually appeared because I am so wonderful and make links to non-existent sites.

I had LJ for over a year before I worked out how to post, let alone anything else. And I'm a member of the internet generation.

I found this useful - Clickety Click Click Click (http://www.livejournal.com/support/)

Apologies for calling you Philis. It sounds rather like you're the King of a distant country (when clearly you're the Queen).

Way to go Fellow Evangelizing Reprobate!

I can't help you with Linketies, because I just do whatever LJ makes easiest, but I hope you figure it out.

Way to spread the love, Philia. :)

What do you think about what Nicola said about the general pattern of the books - that Gen always wins and finds it convenient to be underestimated?

It's true, isn't it? Even if his plans don't work out exactly as planned, he's always made them work somehow in the long run. And about being underestimated - yes there too. It's hard NOT to underestimate him sometimes because he's just. so. good. Also, he never tells anyone how he plans to go about accomplishing anything so he is doubted when things look bad even if that's part of it all.

Oh yes, I agree, I was just wondering whether anyone else had a different take.

(On another note, I love your icon.) :)

(I LOOOVE IT TOO. I'm going to have to message the person who made it and pass on all the compliments :D)

I was thinking of Ornon when I asked. :) Though I hadn't thought of relating it to the change in point of view before - it's an interesting explanation.
