Nice work, Capt!
I'm doing Christmas stuff and listening to some Christmas music, but I'm not quite into the "spirit" yet. I'm holding off on that, as I tend to either burn out too early or get desensitized to everything and don't enjoy the actual Christmas Day as much as I'd like.I wish radio stations would mix the Christmas music in with the regular fare, too. For a whole month you don't get to hear any new singles unless it's a Christmas song? That's just not right! (And encourages musicians who should NOT be releasing Christmas music to release Christmas music every year, but that's neither here nor there...) I understand playing 24-hour Christmas music on Christmas day, and maybe even a couple days beforehand, but for weeks on end is just... nuts. Mainly because IT'S THE SAME TEN SONGS OVER AND OVER.
I need to finish 20 books by the end of the year! AUGH!Provided I can finish these books by the end of November...

Welcome, Julie!
Helena wrote: "Surely Bill Sikes is more of a villain than Fagin though because he beats his wife, which is worse than what Fagin does, and Fagin also does sort of look after the orphans maybe not very well but y..."True... but I didn't like Bill Sikes. I loved Fagin, and technically I think he was one of the villains of the book.
Iasa wrote: "this is a difficult one. Maybe Helen Grayle from Farewell, My Lovely or the self-titled Rebecca."Ohh, Rebecca's a good one! I hadn't thought of her. I'm still trying to pin mine down, but it's probably either Fagin from Oliver Twist, Erik the phantom from The Phantom of the Opera, or maybe Javert from Les Misérables if he can be considered a villain.
