lin·gua·phile |
Graduate student specializing in 18th century British literature with an emphasis on the novel. Lover of John Milton, Jane Austen, and Charlotte Bronte. (Yes, I know none of them published in the 18th century.) Occasional writer of lengthy fictions, seven-time NaNoWriMo participant and former Office of Letters and Light intern. Reader of much young adult and/or fantasy lit. Lifetime lover of Diane Duane's Young Wizards series, recently fanatic about Scott Westerfeld's Leviathan trilogy, blaming it all on Harry Potter. Wanderluster. Left my heart in London, reclaim it bit by bit through tea and Doctor Who and Sherlock and Downton Abbey. |

Notes Two of my friends are simultaneously reading So You Want to Be a Wizard.For the first time! Because I gave G my copy of the book and I talked to A about them so much that he had no other choice (and also because after reading the Leviathan series on my rec he understands how fab my taste in fiction is).
And so every so often A posts a quote as his facebook status or G sends me a text about how she is now terrified of fire hydrants and I just smile beatifically and try to send calming vibes back to my eleven-year-old self whose greatest distress was that only one other person she knew had read these novels that formed a core part of her life and being.
(And also I sent J a copy and when she starts reading it I will basically DIE of happiness overload.)
