| 6ba9abf | Middlemarch is a novel that is diminished by being put on the screen. It can't help but be, because so much of what we enjoy in Middlemarch is the interplay between what the characters do and what we know about them because of the telling voice.

| a68e113 | If she died as a result of this journey, it wouldn't be because of slavers. It would be because Richard's inability to communicate would give her a heart attack. | richard communication | Ilona Andrews | |

I had an image of a massive dragon circling me slowly, eyes full of magic fixed on me as he moved, considering if he should bite me in half. "Dragons." Rogan snapped his fingers. Oh crap. "I wondered why I kept getting dragons around you." He leaned forward. His eyes lit up, turning back to their clear sky blue. "You think I'm a dragon." "Don't be ridiculous... | Ilona Andrews | ||

| d9f6651 | I'm busy sorting through our new collection of rhinestone jewelry. Should anyone be in the market for sparkly accessories the size of a hubcap, this is the place to get them.

I couldn't even begin to explain everything that was wrong with her sentence, so I simply replied, 'Yes. They do be genuine. | Jen Lancaster | ||
| 5c064bb | At a health and fitness fair) Though normally superconfident, I am not prepared for the judgmental stares of the ultrafit.
