Friday (find the original posts at Parajunkee and Alison Can Read - go forth and follow!)
If you could, what book would you change the ending or a plot thread?
Oh man, What Katy Did by Susan Coolidge was a weird childhood reading experience
for me, with the fun tomboy becoming the chastened goody-goody Angel of the
House figure/Cousin Helen 2.0 at the end. Not impressed.
*controversial opinionzzz time* I'll be honest, I have mixed feelings about the Harry Potter epilogue as well – do
people all really end up married to their high school sweethearts with 2.4
children? Was it strictly necessary to pair everyone off at the end? I’ve been
thinking about this again with the H/Hr revelations, and the final chapter (combined
with my constant sads about Everyone Is Straight And Dumbledore Is Not Good
LGBT Representation) doesn’t totally sit right with me.

- The Three Sisters by Anton Chekhov – I have to read this for my Russian culture class next week, and I’m not exactly overwhelmed with excitement about it, but I’ll see how it goes!
- Mary Barton by Elizabeth Gaskell – I have a library copy, as well as the lovely Juliet Stevenson audiobook, so I really want to get cracking on this! North and South was one of my favourite books I read last year.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend and read cool stuff!
P.S. I finished Gone Girl at 1am this morning and oh my gosh, Internet. Oh my gosh.
I felt good with how the book ended until i read the epilogue. It took away from the book and left me asking more questions than not. I feel this way about a lot of epis. I just don't like them.
