Oh, that sounds good. I love reading other people’s letters too, especially the Victorians. Thanks for the recommendation! I can always depend on the Internet to help me find books. 😀

I love Mexican food so, so much. When I did my year abroad in England, and I couldn’t find Mexican food anywhere, I realized how much I loved it. It is delicious. All that cilantro.

Deal! (I like saying “I must say” too.) In future I will try to be more clear about what books I am reviewing. Only I’m way behind on reviews and trying to cram several reviews into each post. :p

All I can think of is the Boxcar Children! But I think I am a little past the age of enjoying those, and I didn’t like them that much even when I was a kid. :/

I would say, with White is for Witching, I had an idea of what to expect because I had read Oyeyemi’s other two books first. I liked the shifting points of view; I liked the spooky flavor the book had; I thought the writing was gorgeous. Also, I went into the book not expecting it to be perfectly clear what was going on every minute, because that’s just the way Oyeyemi writes. That said, I would be reluctant to recommend it to anyone whose reading tastes I wasn’t very sure of, because it is confusing and unclear, and I can see why a lot of people disliked it.

English Passengers is supposed to be very good, but I didn’t want to read that one because I’m not the world’s biggest historical fiction person. Maybe I’ll get to it soon.

It was pretty good, but it didn’t live up to my very high expectations. Alas! Maybe I will like a different Kneale book better.

Yeah, but don’t go by me. I was really in the mood for fantasy, so it probably wasn’t a good time for me to be reading Lit’rary Fiction.

I have read Peter’s Room, and I really enjoyed all the things they said about the Brontes. I thought it was quite insightful.

I’ll have to check out this Helen Clare person. I love new authors!
