It only takes away from the good they have done before it.<BR/>But then again.. I do believe some people only have one or two good stories in them... and that's certainly not to say that they shouldn't be published!DesLilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02582481597658080464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6874411986410157945.post-6065332950761789492008-02-15T09:04:00.000-06:002008-02-15T09:04:00.000-06:00After reading and loving Beauty last year I have p...After reading and loving Beauty last year I have put several other Robin McKinley books on my wishlist...I'm a bit wary now!

I read my first title by her last year, <EM>Sunshine</EM>, which I loved to death. I thought everything she did in that novel was fascinating -- even the bad things. I haven't tried any of her other books, though, so I'm not sure how it's going to translate. Mostly I sadface because she doesn't allow fanfiction, and I always sadface when I hear authors I like do that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6874411986410157945.post-68228046901928355842008-02-14T19:04:00.000-06:002008-02-14T19:04:00.000-06:00Hey Kim, you're tagged! ;)Hey Kim, you're tagged! ;)Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03967837585961009598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6874411986410157945.post-60911634913899171092008-02-14T09:12:00.000-06:002008-02-14T09:12:00.000-06:00debi-feel no apprehension about Beauty, it is one ...debi-feel no apprehension about Beauty, it is one of my absolute absolute favorite books of all time.

I guess it's just lucky you read "the treasures" first, huh? Just think if you'd read the duds first, then you never would have given the others a chance. (My way of looking at the bright side.) <BR/>Annie and I are going to be reading Beauty for school soon...relieved to hear it's one of the good ones!Debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15429881953804634592noreply@blogger.com
