I don't get the cover. Elspeth is blonde.

Little Hannah the Fool can't make up her mind. I was about to burst by the time I reached the last page. Ugh. Should send her to some motivational course. As always, Gregory uses history as Elizabeth used her man-whores. Pfft.

Oh she writes delightfully! I can't wait for her next book! Please, Ms Clarke, please publish the next book already!

This is the last book in the trilogy - no wait! There's a fourth one coming soon. Oh bloody hell. Can no body stop this guy from writing? Now why would I wish that? I have no clue myself. But he should keep promises. It was meant to be a TRILOGY!

Oh good. Another good Cillian Murphy flick. He he. But Eccleston - ewww though his character was - practically stole the limelight.

You use a Chinese exercise book? What neat and cursive handwriting! Completely the opposite of mine...

I don't think of it as a Chinese exercise book. In fact, it's just grids. I like to write on grids.

from the words on the open page, the makings of a novel/bestseller perhaps?... can only make out fragments...

lonely throne... forever tormented... serving penance... the Messiah... stopped the execution... so very drama... my curiosity's been piqued... go finish it and publish already... ;-)
