September Reading

[cornerofmadness]

For those who like to see such things, here's what I read and reviewed last month (and gee I'd like to see other members of bookheaven posting up stuff occasionally) I only did marginally better this month than last

I have figured out one of the things i like so well about the Dresden books - Butcher doesn't rely on the withheld information drama. You know what I mean, someone knows something that any NORMAL person would confide in their friends/family because it's important but to create drama that person keeps it to themselves. (Buffy et al were masters of this). I'm not a big fan of that method of creating drama. Harry usually does confide in his partners (okay not always and there was one book that DID use this drama creator and it was one of my least favorites). Just food for thought for those of us who write.

Oh god, withheld information drama drives me up a wall as well, and Buffy did do it a lot. Harry Potter did it a fair bit as well.

yes that's true. It seems to be overly popular. Dresden does do it too b ut to a much lesser degree
