So, it is party time again, folks!

[wiseheart]

Each year this time, we launch my virtual birthday party, which starts on October 1 and ends on October 9 at midnight, sharp. The goals of the party are to post as many comments and collapse as many threads as possible, on as many new pages as we can. It is always great fun, as you can see if you check out the similar entries of the last few years.

This year, I'll also throw the real party at mid-time - and post the recipes of all the food that will be there for you, so that you can all participate if you want to. Virtual food has no calories.

Fandom-related discussions are as welcome as the ones about coffee or chocolate (just to name a few favourites from previous years), and, of course, pictures and recipes of birthday cakes. ;)

So, drop by, tell your story, post your pics or silly poems, ask questions you always wanted to ask and have a good time!

Soledad, in excited expectation




Oh, and by the way, to provide birthday gifts hobbit-style, I've got a revived story and a Kansas 2 update for you.

Enjoy!

I am currently finishing up The Bloodied Ivy (The Nero Wolfe Mysteries) by Robert Goldsborough. I am not sure what I am going to read next - my to read stack is outrageous.

I looked up Elizabeth Peters Amelia Peabody Mysteries - the first book sounds good, I had not heard of it before; thanks for the tip.

I've still got some Miss Marple and Sherlock Holmes books to finally read in original.

so do I

I've read most of them in translation when I was young, but when I started writing Sherlock fanfic and needed references to the original, I discovered what riches are hidden there, and now I'm hunting down every single story, either in hard copy or on the Internet - one day I might even find the time to read them.

Miss Marple, I've read all in Hungarian, but it's so very different in original as if they weren't the same books at all!

It's true things do get lost in translation, if your able it is always best to read it in the original language.
