bwahaha on the nipple rouge comment. I would venture to say yes? I'm not an expert on it either though. Sounds like a book I'll be passing on. I don't like when I'm promised one thing only to get another.

Creepy cool! I wish I could get SM's stuff in the US. Thanks for the giveaway!

The covers are so beautiful! Thank you for the giveaway.

2012-05-22T05:46:38.428+10:00

Geez, how creepy is this story. Shirley! You should write a horror book. Like a proper scary novel. This short was totally like something someone would say around a campfire to creepy everyone out. Loved it.

2012-05-22T05:15:56.680+10:00

Aw man, I used to come over here like once a week when you were on hiatus and I didn't realize you'd been being a diligent blogger these days:) I know I already know a bit about how you felt about this one but no matter what I hear about this book, I'm still going to read it. These stories, even if they do fizzle out or follow a predictable plot, are like a drug to me. And the French ladies comment--THEY DID?!

2012-05-21T20:44:37.537+10:00

If there is such a thing as cover gods, Shirley is defintiely their favorite. I still didn't manage to get a copy of Preloved, but I need to, and soon. All the reviews have been pretty great. :)

2012-05-20T22:21:21.029+10:00

Sounds good. I'll try to read the series first, as I usually enjoy better the book than the movie.
Happy midnight reading!

2012-05-19T13:03:45.514+10:00

I'm sorry this one didn't really work for you Nomes! I can totally see you're point though. If you go in expecting a lot of action, assassination, and just general butt-kicking and get political machinations up the wazoo, it can be a bit of a let down.

If you are interested in what was history/what was hers, Robin LaFevers wrote up a decent blog post about it here.

There you are! Looks like life has been busy in the wonder world of Nomes. Thanks for the update and good luck with the move.

Super new for Laura Buzo! I love the new cover and title for Good Oil. Can't wait to get my hands on Holier Than Thou.

2012-05-18T00:58:19.146+10:00

Oh, I think I'm going to delete this from my kindle - I snagged a copy from netgalley and then I was like "this book has how many pages? Dude, Seriously?" but I hear good things about it so I said, maybe some day.

Now I'm sure I won't like it.

I get so BORED with political intrigue and this doesn't even sound like good political intrigue!

Hate when a book doesn't deliver.

And up to the late 1700's, women did paint their nipples, mostly it was courtesans, though. Or risque women of the court. :P

Oh, that was a great post! :D

This was creepy but oh-so-delightful at the same time!
And I can't wait for PRELOVED.
Shirley Marr for the win.

Firstly: oh my goodness, is Shirley the coolest girl EVER, or what? And secondly: OH MY GOODNESS THE STORY! It's amazing and I love love love it! Spooky and brilliant and clever and eeeee!

Thanks for sharing with us!

2012-05-17T21:52:21.006+10:00

Oh wow, that was spooky! Thanks for the story though, Shirley. :) And thanks to Nomes for having an international giveaway of Preloved.

2012-05-17T21:47:45.034+10:00

I'm a big fan of historical fiction, so hopefully I enjoy it more than you. Seriously, historical + fantasy = happy times for Cass. :) This sounds like one of those books I'll need to keep notes on, which is kind of fun. I'll save this book for holidays though. Always glad to hear what you have to say Nomes. Sorry this didn't quite connect with you but I so understand. It's disappointing when you're expecting something really epic with that beginning, and then it just doesn't deliver.

Well, the fact that you finished it says something, ay?

2012-05-17T20:23:02.966+10:00

"Also: did French women really paint their nipples with rouge? O.o" I'm french and I've never heard that ^^.

I've also ordered a copy of Grace Mercy and I have high expectations for it. I'm a huge fan of historical books :).

2012-05-17T12:43:52.499+10:00

Woohoo love the Mother's Day gift! I think I have Good Oil on a bookshelf somewhere, if not I might grab a NetGalley copy of Love & Other Perishable Items. I'm trying to get my hands on a copy of Free Falling and looks like I should add The Good Daughter to my wishlist ... I'm a fan of bleak & harrowing lol

2012-05-17T12:33:54.405+10:00

Starts off with such a bang, what a bummer it fizzles. I just assumed this was fantasy, which I like but I enjoy historical fiction too; maybe a good one to borrow from the library?

2012-05-15T21:22:10.217+10:00

I can't wait to get my hands on Holier Than Thou! What a brilliant present :) I must start dropping some major book-related hints next mother's day!
