I've spent ages working up to reading this because it's a BEAST (626 pages!) But an impromptu week's holiday in the blazing sunshine is perfect for parking myself at the end of the garden and digging in.

When it comes to Dresden, I've basically stuck to the novels rather than branching into the other stuff (the novels are PLENTY!) But these came across my desk and I was curious to check them out.

"The unicorn lived in a lilac wood, and she lived all alone. She was very old, though she did not know it, and she was no longer the careless color of sea foam, but rather the color of snow falling on a moonlit night."

She NEVER lets me do this!!

I have loved this movie since I was a child, and have wanted to read the book for years. Sadly, it's been out of print in the UK since the 80s. My wonderful husband sourced a copy from the USA for my birthday and it's wonderful. I've never read a book for the first time that has felt so immediately familiar. It's fantastic.

I've been in such a reading slump the last few months, after reading THE LAST HOUSE ON NEEDLESS STREET it's taken me well over a month to finish my next book, which isn't normal for me.
