bedlamsbardThere are few things -- well, relatively minor things, anyway -- more frustrating than coming to the end of a book which is good, which has a good plot and good characters and good prose, and feeling extremely unfulfilled.
One thing that is definitely more frustrating is doing it twice in one day.
Ah, well, at least one book out of the three I read today I finished happy. Even if I did get thrown out of the story by an extremely minor throwaway detail. (It's awkward when the MC says something happens every year on the Tulane campus and the person reading said book is actually a Tulane alumna who has never heard of anything of the sort. Said MC is a born-and-raised Louisiana girl who moves to London for school. It struck a little close to home.)
(Not that I even know for sure if I'll be in England this fall, since I'm still waiting to hear from Leicester. Ugh. I hate waiting and I'm not sure if I'm actually supposed to be doing something or not.)
