This and that

I have just finished reading A Countess Below Stairs by Eva Ibbotson and I'm not entirely sure how I feel about it.

( Contains some spoilers, but if you know your typical romance story themes and endings than it won't come as much of a surprise... )

So yes, now to decide what's next. Perhaps this time it will actually be Mansfield Park?

Also, question for the fannish folk interested in sharing...

If you have a story/series of ficlets that, while not while not strictly related to each other (are intended to be read completely independently of each other) are linked by a common theme, do you prefer to read them as they are written or only once the collection is complete? So, I guess I'm asking: Read in installments or in one-go?

Also...

Have you ever glanced at a previously posted entry and caught a glaring error in spelling/grammar/whatever that just makes you want to *facepalm*

THIS IS ME ALL THE DAMN TIME!

I do know how to use apostrophes, really I do. No, don't beat me with a textbook, please!
