How odd those rules seem... I hope they allow you to correct things!

That is just a dumb rule. You are there to teach, not to cover mistakes. :}

So I just finished "The Burning Page" by Genevieve Cogman and I had great fun with it. It was so nice to pick up something I'd consider an Urban Fantasy -that wasn't written in 1st person!
Grant you I am in a place ready to be pleased, so I was NOT reading critically, but I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.

I'd never heard of them before, they were just there in the library on a to-be-shelved rack.

I also got from that same rack "The Player of Games" by Ian M Banks, "Baltimore; or, The Steadfast Tin Soldier and the Vampire" by Mike Mignola and Christopher Golden, "A Dance of Cloaks" and "A Dance of Mirrors" by David Dalglish, "Five Dead Canaries" by Edward Marston, and "Island of the Mad", by Laurie R King.

I only recognized the very last book on that list, which is by an author I follow (although not in a serious-fan way; more that I always check out her books when I see them and own them, eventually, when they float through the used book store in town).

So there are a bunch that I'll be randomly going through.

It was just such a nice change of pace to read a book that wasn't a textbook, wasn't something so very familiar from multiple rereads, and wasn't in first person! Also that wasn't terrible, or with egregious grammar errors. And it is definitely that.

Nothing worse than grammatical errors....

jacob, I think it's a good idea that you might apply for correcting the error in the slides :)

Finished "Player of Games" now, and also "The Lost Plot" (also by Genevieve Cogman), and of course I had to stop and reread the Enchanted Forest Chronicles because they came up in conversation with somebody on here.
And I'm so glad I had time to read like that yesterday, because I was starting to feel emotionally shaky and reading usually re-centers me. There's a lot of emotion in my family right now and many of them are visiting so there's no buffer. They all come cry at me and it can be very tiring. I needed yesterday.
