It was Silver on the Tree that made my finishing of this Omnibus Edition go on for so long. I'm not sure if I got around to reading the last book on my first reading of the series, so either that made me slow down or the quick pace of the action made me take more pauses.
10 things I thought about while rereading:
1. I want the editions with illustrations.
2. It's hard to read a 1000+ page flimsy paperback with one hand while a cat sits on your chest
3. I like re-reading and it's too bad I won't make more time for it.
4. I want to learn Welsh.
5. I want to go to Wales.
6. These books make me almost interested in trying to read Malory's Arthur again!
7. The best word to describe the tone of these books is: Noble.
8. Bran's kind of a dick. But not in an evil way.
9. All the nature descriptions and legendary stuff reminds me of Joanna Newsom, except her lyrics are way above Susan Cooper's legendary verses (sorry, S. Cooper). But they both like yarrow.
10. These kids eat a lot of bacon for breakfast.
