decemberthirtyI just got back from vacation, and am rather busy catching up on everything I missed at work so this will have to be brief.
Anyhow, I finished the rest of the Earthsea series, and then lent them all to my sister M., who finished them as well. She liked the books a lot, which was very gratifying to me. It was interesting to talk to her about Tehanu. She seemed to find it confusing and difficult in the same ways that I did the first few times I read it. It made me realize again that the book is truly an odd ending to the series, and yet it is also just about the only "right" way to end it.
After finishing those books, I started Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister by Gregory Maguire, the book that I'm reading for my little nascent book club. I have to say that I'm not particularly fond of it at this point. I will get into more depth about it soon.
