I was tagged by the lovely Library Luv from BEYOND THE BOOK REVIEWS. She is a fellow MADLING (Splintered series fan) and brand spanking new book blogger.

If you want to do this tag; have fun! Remember to link it back to the source, HERE.
OMG I THINK I NEED TO DO THIS TAG THO. And yes, please let Wonderland have wifi, then I will run there and live forever. I will have epic hats, exist on tea and cake, and cackle marvellously. I WAS BORN FOR WONDERLAND CLEARLY. *ahem* x) I particularly love that Alice quote too. AND YUUUUUS SPLINTERED. Oh my Morpheus.
ReplyDeleteHa, JEBALICIOUS! No faeries for me, I'll take the Ska8trboy! Splintered was my favorite book of the trilogy because tjey spent the least time in the real world. I hope you will do the tag. You will have fun!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love your picks for this tag! I also love love love Alice in Wonderland and the Splintered trilogy! I haven't chosen a team yet, but I bet I will when I finally get around to reading Unhinged and Ensnared (should probably go do that soon…)
ReplyDeleteThere is also a Jebpheus fandom for readers who liked both Jeb and Morpheus, so don;t feel pressured! :)
DeleteI about fainted when I saw your Variations on a Theme by Thomas Tallis, which is, hands down, my favorite orchestral piece OF ALL TIME. And not many people know it. Elizabeth does, of course, being the Master Musician she is. I actually got to hear it performed live by an orchestra a couple months ago. It was amazing.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard it live! You are so lucky! Our Philharmonic is doing a "pick our music" contest; I should enter that Fantasia. It was on a record album my stepfather had, and I loved it from the first time I heard it. I found a classical variety CD in a $5 sale bin, with it on about 20 years ago, and as soon as I got an iPod I had Sebastian upload it for me. :)
