Occasionally Snarky and Meta

 I was inspired by this post to book blog. I probably won't be doing it exactly the way they had in mind, but I probably will talk about books I'm currently reading. After all, the original point of this blog was  mostly to blog about a particular book series. I'll probably mix and mash topics - current reads, old reads, want-to-reads, how certain books have impacted me, and general thoughts about books.

Today I'm going to talk about Earth's Children by Jean Auel, in particular the sixth book, Land of the Painted Caves. I may or may not do a longer post on the clusterfuck that was the originally strong series. There will be spoilers for Land of the What Just Happened? Painted Caves, and this post assumes you have at least some familiarity with the books (although I do include a basic recap/explanation for anyone whose memory needs a quick jog.) I'm also making this post public so I can share with my ecfans friends. :)

Quick note: The "worst" section has minor spoilers for the first Twilight book and a major spoiler for Son of a Witch, the sequel to Wicked.

The problem with being in three fandoms is that two of them are small, and one of them is huge, so I tend to talk more about one, and forget that it'll be confusing for those not in it. 

And then there's the fact that I have a "ficverse" that confuses people. 

First, I'm going to make a fandom filter for: Earth's Children, Harry Potter, and Wicked. Let me know which ones you'd like to be under. (As far as Wicked is concerned, both the musical and the book apply). 

But I'll also do a glossary, for times where I have multi-fandom musings, or when I would like something I wrote to be seen by people not on my flist. Or when I ramble about fic characters nobody knows about. I'll do one for real life stuff later.
So...
