Shame.<br /><br />I'm so glad you are enjoying! I hope that does in fact happen <3333Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08057480293595295502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-797055056494841024.post-27483069648953701142016-08-09T03:32:07.903+01:002016-08-09T03:32:07.903+01:00"How are you even still alive?" JBH, I h..."How are you even still alive?" JBH, I have to side with you on that. XD (Not that I don't respect a classic like Les Mis, it's just that the book is daunting to think about.) And I agree with Ashley: he is annoyingly cute. I feel a bit like Nina, liking him but being annoyed with myself for it.<br /><br />BETH. GRRR. Her last comment--ugh, I don't like her one bit. Which is unfortunate, because I love the name Beth.<br /><br />And Nina is just precious. I would very much enjoy this book. It's awesome how it's growing and taking shape! Just you wait, one day I'll be at Chapters, sliding your book across the counter and telling the clerk, "I read the beginnings of this back when the author had barely begun writing it. I followed her blog." ^_^Tracey Dyckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03445222618456673198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-797055056494841024.post-22210905136052174972016-08-08T22:05:09.216+01:002016-08-08T22:05:09.216+01:00I'm looking forward to meeting them both!I'm looking forward to meeting them both!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08057480293595295502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-797055056494841024.post-26347019660077033692016-08-07T00:21:51.315+01:002016-08-07T00:21:51.315+01:00At least, she does not take her grandmothers serio...At least, she does not take her grandmothers seriously.

I really really do.<br /><br />I'm glad you like him! Yes, he was mean at that point. But ... <333<br /><br />BETH TOTALLY DOES KNOW AND I WAS NODDING THAT WHOLE PARAGRAPH. GEE I REALLY DO NOT LIKE BETH. I don't think Nina was exactly flirting. But then, it is hard to talk to someone you like without flirting unintentionally. <br /><br />I'm so glad you liked it! Thank you <333<br /><br />I think her grandmothers are both more comedy figures than real sticking points, but yeah, it is a shame. Her hair ... is ... strong-willed. It has nothing to do with ethnicity, though. She actually inherits its coarseness from her mother. But yeah.<br /><br />I'M SO EXCITED YOU'RE READING IT! I'm going to reply to your email forthwith. (I have sooo much admin and stuff to do. Go away for two weeks and what happens!) I feel you ab favourites being bumped down.

Especially when their snide-ness shows no favoritism. They are equally snide to those around them, those they know, and themselves. I love, love Nina! I liked her little dialogue with Jonathan bloody Holcroft. His reaction when she said she read the book. XD<br /><br />"How are you even still alive?"<br /><br />Jonathan bloody Holcroft, how are you still alive? Reading is like breathing. Oh, wait. . . maybe he substitutes with broccoli. Eeew. Yeah, I'll take books, thank you.<br /><br />JBH was excellently done. I mean, what kind of anti-saint grins at a pile of broccoli?! I will admit he is annoyingly, mildly cute. But cruel for saying what he'd said when Beth asked Nina if she went with anyone or whatever. Really? Badly done, JBH. Don't be a mean gossip.<br /><br />Beth totally knows. Nina needs to stop kidding herself. I can't believe Beth, who is supposedly her best friend of three years, is playing the passive aggressive I-hate-you game. SERIOUSLY!? Grrr. I cannot stand people like that. And they're supposed to be best friends. How can Beth just turn on Nina like that?! Nina was going to try to keep their friendship together. You don't toss a friendship in the dirt because of some dude. And Nina was NOT flirting! If there was any flirting done it was by Beth's precious JBH. Or I don't think Nina was flirting. . . Uh, was she flirting? (Maybe I know nothing about flirting, IDK anymore!) <br /><br />And Beth's last comment? I am really steamed right now!<br /><br />Aka: This is like the best of the best! Loved this piece so much!<br /><br />That's really sad though that Nina's own grandparents say that to her. I *might* understand the grandparents being upset with her parents, but gosh, don't drag the grandkids into the feud too! Besides Indian girls have beautiful hair! Or so I think. . . I do like the themes that are popping up in your Les Mis retelling! It sounds amazing! And Nina is definitely a new favorite of mine. Although, I'm going to start TCATT tonight, soooo Nina's place as my favorite might get booted down to second. ;) I wanted to start TCATT sooner, but I had to download Word first, which happened this weekend, so I'M SUPER EXCITED NOW!a.n.g.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03667996517318905980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-797055056494841024.post-17884086277352091192016-07-17T05:15:38.802+01:002016-07-17T05:15:38.802+01:00OH MY GOODNESS THIS IS AMAZING JUST WRITE THE THIN...OH MY GOODNESS THIS IS AMAZING JUST WRITE THE THING ALREADY. HERE IS MY MONEY. TAKE IT NOW. SET THE BOOK ON THE GROUND. SLIDE IT TO ME. NICE AND EASY. <br /><br />So just in case you haven't noticed (ha), I adore this. Although I know next to nothing about Les Mis (please don't murder me) so I'm confused in that department, so yeah. But this is basically amazing and I love it.

(but really now, JBH, shouldn't you be just as concerned for your intellectual and cultural health? How dare you snub Les Miserables?) <br /><br />I also like the idea of the National Identity theme. This is something I've wrestled with. Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08760994961683034493noreply@blogger.com
