Okay, first things first :

Forza Italiaaaaaaaaaa


I know, I'm French, but don't forget we're 50%French and 50%Italian in my family --which explains my inner drama queen btw-- so I'm for both teams.

You should see my sister and my cousin tonight. They're both watching the game downstairs --I'm watching it upstairs obviously-- one with the Italian shirt and the other the French uniform. Yeah, well Julien is from the French side of the family so he only has the French outfit, but since it's blue, we let him go away with it lol

I spent the whole day at my grand-dad, then both sis and cous' joined me. Still, I was alone from 11.45 am to 5.30 pm, and with my grand-dad sleeping all the time and being quite unresponsive when he doesn't sleep, I had time to read my book, The Depths of Solitude.

It's official, I can't really consider Jo Bannister's series as suspense and crime books per se because I always find who the culprit is early in the book, so I guess we're actually meant to know who it is to focus on other things --like the character dynamics-- otherwise, there's something missing, really. We learnt about Daniel's past, and I love the man even more now - angst rocks my world, and here one hell of a damaged character *eg* Did I say he was one of the best character ever? Because he is! He astounds me each time I read a new part of this series, he's just... fascinating!

Daniel Hood, I love ya!!

Eeeeeeeeeeeeep! We scoooooooooooored!! YAY!

ETA Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Why oh WHY!

ETA2 Dammit! What about our qualification, man! Think of the qualification!

Know what? My flist is mean! Mocking me and all *pout* And what do you mean 'finally'? Are you implying I've been talking non stop about a brand new show in my life? Do you have evidence?

...

Don't answer that, please.

Lol Okay yeah, anyway. Back to Jo Bannister. I don't think the series was even translated here - thank God for amazon.uk *and* for best friends who know the best presents to give me for my bday *g*

Okay since you've been spoiled, you know there's a Sam involved in the story - well, it's mentioned anyway. It cracks me up! What were the odds that we would find a book where two of the main characters are called Jack and Daniel, and another Sam, even if from afar? lol

I still laugh aloud whenever I think of the time Jack takes Daniel home with him. It was like a scene lifted from SG.

I can't wait to read the latest book and learn all about Daniel and Sam.

Oh don't expect too much, girl. It's just a detail. I mean, no it's important to Daniel's life, but it's not important to the story itself.

Oh well. It's still neat anyways. I swear this author is an SG fan. *g*
