Good question.

Sophie wrote: "pasteis de Belem... Are those similar to pasteis de nata? If so a visit is in order."

They're pretty close. The puff pastry and the custard are slightly different, cause it's the bakery's secret recipe.

Pasteis de Belem


Pasteis de nata


The first ones are mostly always warm, and begin for powdered sugar and cinnamon.

I hope you have a wonderful trip too!

Although, why would someone prefer to visit the Tower of London instead of the Belem Tower, is something that doesn't compute on my book.

I'm pretty sure there are no pasteis de Belem near the London one :P :P :P

Ah. It makes sense :)

I don't get the reference

*sad face*

It is. So is Polyhymnia.

*giggles*

If we're talking ancient Greece..? Probably all of them, lol!"

I knew I had picked the greek pantheon for a reason... *whistles*

Is there a muse for smutt mm books? If so, I want that one!

*giggles*

There there... you had worse

If it was easy, being called a "challenge" would be weird

Ouch.

And i just discovered that is tagged 2006.

Nice!

I'm also at a dead end. Hopefully, I won't need to get back to the start.

It also doesn't help that books that are tagged 2006 that I could read are either from the library, so they need extra effort, or don't match the need for a A-M title, or from scary authors, or just over 500 pages.

Meh.

It definitely was short and relatively painless, lol! Thanks Jenny!

Next up should be easy. A bo..."

I give up. Trying to keep up with you is... LOL

It was not a month. It started 2 weeks ago.

Meh

Holly Black usually uses fairies, not fae. I think.

So there's still hope ;-)"

I didn't say that. I said not to tempt fate.

Wobble had a very fun concept... but it was a nightmare to run. Besides, very long challenges tend to feel an obligation. I rather have two different challenges, with a little break in the middle than a big one like wobble.

But that's my two cents. Not my call to make anymore. I'm pretty happy to be in the sidelines. Although, I'm pretty sure I'd be miserably trying to keep up with such a long long challenge.
