books I read

[jade_sabre]

I READ SAVING FRANCESCA.








Also the Demon's Lexicon series and Team Human (which was surprisingly emotional at the climax and had some interesting characterization bits amid an otherwise shallow-but-entertaining read) and The Last Unicorn (which was beautiful and which I need to read in one sitting). I had to return all the others but I'll get them back, and I have Unspoken and The Marriage Plot and Code Verity

but

Saving Francesca

not only reminded me of how wonderfully lucky I have been in love

but also

just

so perfect.

flawless.

wonderful.

tightly plotted and everything is doled out at just the right moment and also it's hilarious and I care so much about all the characters and I'm so happy and

go forth and read it RIGHT NOW.

Saving Francesca is so, so good. I love it. I reread it fairly recently. Her phrasing gets stuck in my head.

UH HUH

UH HUH

THIS IS MY I-TOLD-YOU-SO MOMENT AND I AM LOVING IT (also Brandy's!)

It is so, so fantastic. I don't even know how many times I've reread it. Now you need to read The Piper's Son.

And I can't wait til you read Code Name Verity.

Yes! Sooooo so good! And yes! The Piper's Son! Awesome!

I'm wondering, did you read On the Jellicoe Road? I loved that one, too, but my brother didn't like it as much as I did. One of the all time great first sentences...

FINALLY!!!!

I'm so glad you liked it. This is actually my favorite Marchetta novel. So much so that when Chachic asked me to write a post for a Marchetta Madness event she had that's what I wrote it on. I also learned from that event that I'm in the minority when it comes to loving Will Trombal. What's wrong with people?

My love for these characters is why I like The Piper's Son better than Jellicoe Road (though it's good too).
