> My favorite: The Storyteller's Daughter
V Just...I'll send you links in a PM.
^ Cool! :)
> Ah, nice. Yes, me, too ... she really made me feel like I was in a fantasy world with her writing. That's not saying a lot, but I can't describe it P: I had to take a break for half a day after reading the book because I felt like I was still half in that world:)
v *yawn* What have you been reading, El?

V Stuff like that. What have you been reading?
^ Wow, books? *gapes*
> Sounds great! :) Ah, I've been reading ... *checks back on list* Oh, I haven't been reading very fast lately, I'm afraid >.< I have a million books to read, but I'm getting through them at a snail's pace xD Maybe it would help if I read more and chatted less ;)
But, uh, Jessica Day Georges, Before Midnight, as you know ... At a friend's request I'm reading the Belgariad series by David Eddings.
I'm looking forward to making my to-read list somewhat smaller, and then going back to some Sherlock Holmes:)
v Last thing you drank?

> It sucks. Especially when you're reliant on Goodreads.
v Has had a good day?

> I've seen My Fair Lady, Johanna! You are not alone. It was one of my favorite films as a kid.
V Of course, I wish they'd kept the ending like the original play and not changed it to make it "happy," but hey, it doesn't matter. Fantastic and gorgeous film!

> I kinda sucked but I did better than I thought I would.
V Shouldn't have picked Scout though...that was a mistake.
Last thing you ate?

> It was delish. One of my favourite meals.
v But I'm having pikelets soon!

I knew you wouldn't let me down, Eris!!! :) (I myself am a fan of happy endings ... er, I'm not good with less-than-happy ones xD ... but it is a bit sad that they changed it from the original play) I was going to message you to see if you had watched it :D
Just rewatched it the other day; it's definitely one of my favourites. *happy* I'm just so glad someone else has watched it! Finally! :D =D

V Just bread?? How about fried bread? Ever had that?
^ Weelll ... I'm fairly sure everyone else had other ... things ... with their bread, but for me it's usually just bread. Because you know how fussy I can be :)
> Yes, I have had fried bread, actually! It's very nice *licks lips* I am quite a fan of toasted cheese sandwiches, also (we have a proper toaster thingy that makes the edges all crispy ... :D) though having them more than twice in a row can make you sick of them.
v Your favourite part of a meal? Like, the salad, or the meat, or whatever ... ? (Or dessert? :P xD)
