I am a total sucker of kitties, and we got two new ones last July, and the thought of someone gentling anything that cute and full of life makes my blood boil! >:(<br /><br />You can have the girl scouts you like: when we moved over here I was looking forward to their famous cookies, but they are decidedly average. I would be so much more likely to buy them if they were home made, even if they tasted horrible! :D<br /><br />Mr Lynch does have a great way of creating interesting characters that we all want to keep following.

There's a much louder voice in my head screaming for Locke to return there in some future novel and burn the place to the ground. Lynch must be a pretty decent writer if everyone is as freaked out by that place as I am!! <br /><br />send those girl scouts over to my place, I haven't bought a single box of cookies yet this year! and I want some thin mints and those horribly bad for you chocolate peanut butter things too.<br /><br />I'm not into romance, but I do love Selendri and Requin's relationship. I do think they are way, way past the honeymoon stage, but he trusts her implicitly, and will do anything for her. How can he act otherwise, when a horrible poison meant for him instead affected the woman he loved? I kinda wouldn't mind meeting those two again in a future novel as well.
