It possibly isn't the most useful, might be something worth changing in future, but since I've just formatted it all manually... I'm not changing it all again now (it's for a once-a-year thing for NoaF). I think the logic behind it was "this list is alphabetical by surname so put that at the front".

Omg that’s gorgeous

Ha! I didn’t even think of that. Obviously I think that elvish script is very critical, as anyone who can read it would surely know…

I don’t think I’ve ever done that as an adult, but I can definitely see the appeal here, especially after having Hav of the Myrmidons to look back through to Last Letters.

Let’s not go mad :P, France in Paris is gonna be /hard/.

I really really hope so, especially watching them in that last scrum in the first half. Vroom vrooooom.

It was the worst of times, it was the absolute fucking worst of times. Nebulas why.

Fools, clearly. What has that M. John Harrison chap ever written anyway.

I'd be lost without my correct notes, for sure. But even with them, there's something about having the /feel/ of a book in my head that I lose once I read something else I'm focusing on. The notes can't capture the intuitive vibe of a book that starts seeping away once I put it down.
