It's something I'd wondered ever since I started reading her books. She really can write a song! And I've always felt she's pretty accurate at describing what it's like to be up on a stage playing as well.

Mankin is a very creative storyteller. :) If you do decide to pick up one of her books (or win one ;) I'd love to hear your thoughts. :)Bookworm Brandeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125233179936753205.post-11913302743008361492015-02-17T19:27:16.505-07:002015-02-17T19:27:16.505-07:00Thank you, Kimba!

I have a degree in Eng Lit (thus my question to her about using Shakespeare) and it was fun figuring out which characters played which roles...although it is only inspired by Shakespeare - not a retelling. They're sooo good though! :)Bookworm Brandeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125233179936753205.post-20292653878059929182015-02-17T19:22:34.474-07:002015-02-17T19:22:34.474-07:00Thanks, Lexxie!

And yeah, I don't know when you're going to have time for Mankin but I'm hoping you make time eventually. :)<br /><br /><br />Are you missing two of your troops?? I bet you're running your legs off trying to get everyone everywhere on top of school, teaching, etc. How was school? I hope you'll love this term's classes. Oh, and how was it administering your first exam? Have you started grading them yet?<br /><br /><br />I hope you're having a great week!

This is a series I haven't had a chance to start yet, and I'm wondering when I'll have time for it, frankly.<br />I finished my paper yesterday, only to have my professor tell me it will have to be counted in the next exam session, as the deadline for her to give the exam service feedback was on Wednesday of last week. And I got my results from my exams today, I passed both :) so I'm very happy.<br />Mr. Lex and youngest boy are in Quebec this week and part of next for a hockey tournament, so things are quite busy for me at home, and my classes at Uni start up again tomorrow. I look forward to that, they look very interesting based on the reading material.<br />I have also prepared the first test for my students... I hope it won't be too hard to grade them afterwards :)<br />Have a fantastic week, my dear! 85 days!! *BIG HUGS*Lexxiehttp://unconventionalbookviews.com/noreply@blogger.com
