I let this get away from me. Catching up!

Day 23 – Most annoying character ever

I’m going to have to go with the Wheel of Time books here, specifically Egwene. Though almost all of the female characters could go into this category – they’re supposed to be powerful, but they spend way too much time mooning around after men.

Day 24 – Best quote from a novel

We’re all made of stories. … When they finally put us underground, the stories are what will go on. Not forever, perhaps, but for a time. It’s a kind of immortality, I suppose, bounded by limits, it’s true, but then so’s everything.
- Charles de Lint, Memory & Dream
Day 25 – Any five books from your “to be read” stack

Alice Hoffman – Practical Magic

Cherie Priest – Fathom

Caitlin Kiernan – The Red Tree

Karen Healey – Guardian of the Dead

Juliet Marillier – Heart’s Blood

Day 26 – OMG WTF? OR most irritating/awful/annoying book ending

I had to really think about this one. I suspect that I’ve blocked out a lot of bad endings in books. And I also had to go and look at my shelves. But I found it: Chapter House: Dune. If you haven’t read it, then I won’t spoil it, but it’s just irritating.
