Eh?

Written by Mir :: :: ::

I'm going to watch The Terminal this weekend, which is based loosely on the story of Merhan Karimi Nasseri. Fascinating stuff.

Also, cannot get enough of Julia Quinn's upcoming book, When He Was Wicked. Read the excellent excerpt here. The juicy intro:

In every life there is a turning point. A moment so tremendous, so sharp and clear that one feels as if one's been hit in the chest, all the breath knocked out, and one knows, absolutely knows without the merest hint of a shadow of a doubt that one's life will never be the same.

For Michael Stirling, that moment came the first time he laid eyes on Francesca Bridgerton.

After a lifetime of chasing women, of smiling slyly as they chased him, of allowing himself to be caught and then turning the tables until he was the victor, of caressing and kissing and making love to them but never actually allowing his heart to become engaged, he took one look at Francesca Bridgerton and fell so fast and so hard into love it was a wonder he managed to remain standing.

Unfortunately for Michael, however, Francesca's surname was to remain Bridgerton a mere thirty-six hours longer; the occasion of their meeting was, lamentably, a supper celebrating her imminent wedding to his cousin.

Sigh. I love broody, tortured heroes. :)

Eh?
