Slippers and Songs (Brodyr Alarch #1)

“Don’t worry, they can’t see us. Who are you? And why are you wearing my friend’s blanket like a cloak? The old man had silver-grey hair swept back off his face, his moustache and beard matching. His robes were of dark blue, brown, and gold, showing off the golden tones of his skin that looked youthful, belying the colour of his hair, with startling blue eyes that shone with intelligence as he watched Brenin carefully.

“Me? Friend?” Brenin gulped as he tried to still his racing heart and make sense of what was happening.

The old man chuckled softly. “Ah, I forget what it’s like to speak to us, especially when you’re not expecting it, eh? Let me introduce myself. I am Taliesin, also called Taliesin Ben Beirdd, known as a god of inspiration, magical transformation, poetic wisdom, and dancing.” He gestured with his arm to the Great Hall, where everyone had moved onto the next dance.

No, I haven't seen your hair ribbon! Leave me alone!

The BSC hears about a thief known as the Phantom Phone Caller and works themselves into a collective tizzy over it.

Also, Claudia has a crush on a poet named Trevor.

I liked this one. I remember when I first read it, I was really creeped out by the hang-up phone calls and that might have something to do with my extreme distaste for them today.

Curse you, Ann M. Martin!

Childhood revisited
Glen A Larson cashing in on the Star Wars explosion with this TV spin off. The A Team's Dirk Benedict and Lorne Greene from Bonanza were the 2 main stars until Richard Hatch as Apollo took over and became the main man. Still think the space ships were better than the X Wings from Star Wars, but never really loved it unlike Star Wars.

"My copy of Ariel [was] given to me when I was twenty. Ariel became the book of my life then, drawing me to a poet with hair worthy of a Breck commercial and the incisive observational powers of a female surgeon cutting out her own heart. With little effort I visualized my Ariel perfectly. Slim, with faded black cloth, that I opened in my mind, noting my youthful signature on the cream endpaper. I turned the pages, revisiting the shape of each poem"

Eerie
Talk about the hair raising goosebumps. I was so eerily captivated and enthralled with this read that I didn't realize how time had moved on without me as I devoured this book in one sitting. Even as I sit here writing this review, I continuously have to look over my shoulder as it has left me feeling like someone is watching me. Do not put off reading this book and don't make the mistake I made and read it at night.

I wasn't entirely drawn into this.

I didn't quite understand the whole cutting his hair thing and him deciding then to want to date her but at the same time I wouldn't mind continuing on for a few volumes to see where it goes.

I wasn't as into the artwork as well but maybe that's because it's only my second look at a manga comic after finishing off my lovely Blue Spring Ride series, which I loved.

Off to start volume 2.

SYIMS was a great find, it's like sitting and chatting to your friends about movies but without having to change out of your pyjamas or brush your hair to do it. They cover all sorts of topics including features on specific actors, movies and directors, if you search their back catalogue you're bound to find something to suit your tastes. The guys are always entertaining and it's well worth giving it a go if you're looking for something new.
