If I'm being perfectly honest with myself, I've done a shamefully poor job of addressing my love for Cat Sebastian 's books around these parts. I've certainly noted each time her beautiful stories have appeared on my end-of-the-year best of lists, see: The Perfect Crimes of Marian Hayes , basically every book in The Cabots series , and of course We Could Be So Good . And the pull is, quite simply, this: nobody is as kind and gentle with their characters and with their hearts than Cat Sebastian. Nobody. I haven't always been one for the gentler stories, but I cannot overstate the absolute gift it is sinking into one of Sebastian's exquisitely crafted historicals knowing that I get to spend the next however many pages watching two idiots pine and deny that feelings exist and just take care of each other as they fall in love. I wouldn't trade that experience for the world. Not this one or any other. Only two things in the world people count by months. H
Spock was my first (and probably longest-running) fictional character crush. So the new movie made me happy.
ReplyDeleteI think this is the first time recently that I haven't felt let down by a remake.
deety, that makes me so happy. I have always loved Spock. And I completely agree. It was unbelievably refreshing (and so rare lately) to have my expectations exceeded. I wanna see it again!
ReplyDeleteyesss, loved it too. i must say scotty was my fave!
ReplyDeletebabysitter is being arranged. i must see.
ReplyDeletevvb32 reads, Scott was hilarious. He came in at just the right time.
ReplyDeleteLiza, it's SO good. I get all happy just remembering. :)
Yes I loved it, too, and loved Spock, too! ;)
ReplyDeleteYou should definitely go see it again!
ReplyDeleteWe were going to finally catch Wolverine last weekend, but that character isn't exactly my favorite of the X-Men so I suggested we just watch Star Trek again instead.
It was still just as good the second time around.
Amy, it's all about the Spock.
ReplyDeletedeety, good to hear! I haven't seen Wolverine but it just didn't look anywhere near as good as Star Trek.
