Psyche in a Dress, The Rose and the Beast, Blood Roses, Girl Goddess #9 (just to name a few). I really loved her in my teenage years and the lyrical way she spun her words. It's hard to take her seriously now, which kind of fascinates me. I never thought I'd tire of her stories. Now, I guess, I just have to be in that sort of flighty lyrical poetic mood. How did you like the FLB story?<br /><br />I tried to read Wicked once and only got half way through it. I don't know how much I really liked the way Gregory Maguire writes. Someday, I'll try him again, I think. Just to see. I can empathize with you when you say you couldn't put the pieces together. I felt like that too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-19391000117048210532009-12-08T17:15:48.093-06:002009-12-08T17:15:48.093-06:00ah, love love love francesca lia block! good to kn...ah, love love love francesca lia block! good to know she's writing short stories too.Shehttp://www.historyofshe.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
