Book Fairy Event: Front Covers
I have recently discovered the first edition cover for the Flambards books.
They are really different and they shocked me a bit, so I will show a comaprison:
They are sooo different! Post your comments and vote on which is best!
Is this like a period drama??? I don't really dig aeroplanes, though I don't know much about ones with those propeller things. Is it good? I mean, really good must read stuff? Second opinion please! From Karate Queen x
William is perfect! For a start, he wasn't arrogant (mark) he wasn't a wierdo (dick- see book 4!) and he WAS clever, nice, normal and he loved christina despite the fact that she loved horses and all that stuff! Dick gets all woe me in the 1st one, and gets all angry when christina tries to help, but William is always guiding and helping her. Im sorry, its william. End of. He rules! :D
Has anyone thought about why KM Peyton killed William off? Or Sandy? I always think that she killed Sandy off to show the reader how dangerous the flying is, and to prove the point that William could die any day. Its also a bit of drama. But why kill of William? Why didn't KM Peyton make the 3rd and 4th books about Flambards in wartime, Christina worrying for William and Mark out in France? My theory; William was killed off so Flambards and Dick became important again. Does anyone agree? Thanks you all for commenting!
I kinda liked Mark actually... Sorry to upset the Will-fan-clan! I just think that her and Mark had more in common really, William was always going to love flying best. William wasnt bad as such, he just wasnt perfect.
I was thinking about the Dick vs Mark battle, abd I have changed stance! Will is still perfect, the best guy no questions asked, but Mark is better than Dick in the fourth book especially. The fights between Dick and Mark remind me so much of the Colin Firth/Hugh Grant fights in the Bridgit Jones films! :) Dick is a sympathy character in book 1, but by book 4 he is a mean, cheating...naughty word *ahem*! My new order is Will on top (he is just so lovely!) Then Mark and THEN Dick. From RedHead :)
I was just re reading this post after writing my Infernal Devices post yesterday, and I have realised that many of my favourite characters are called William! Will Russel obviously holds the title for my fave out of them all, but Will Herondale is a close, gorgeous second with his humour and ability to quote all the many books he has read. There are others in teen rom coms too. Anyone else find more gorgeous Williams they adore? From RedHead :)
Ever wanted to read the classics but haven't had the motivation? Me too! Now I've started the classics challenge, trying to broaden my reading and find out what makes the classics so good. Join in, and post which classics you've read on the Wuthering Heights post. Good luck!

Book Heaven Book Club
A very good idea has been brought to my attention by a very nice reader; my purpose of this blog is to tell the world of books I think are worth reading, but I'm aware my posts are reviews. I am starting the Book Heaven Book Club, and you can join me and other readers in reading a certain book each week, and then we can disscuss the book through the comments section. Look for posts titled or labelled 'Book Club'- ideas for books to read are welcome! Use your local library to read the books you don't own, and keep libraries popular!
Would you look at how they;ve changed! Amazing! Search them online to find the covers for the others!
ReplyDeleteI don't know these books...are they any good?
ReplyDeleteYes! The 1st and the 2nd are the best...The Edge Of The Cloud is my most favourite book of all time.
ReplyDeleteCool! Never heard of KM Peyton though...:-D

I think everyone who has commented would agree with the following statement;
DeleteKarate queen, flambards is indeed must read stuff :P
The only good guy for christina is will and when he dies it ruins everything :(
ReplyDeleteMa feelings exactly!!! Xxx
DeleteDick was my fave till book four and he went wierd; christina should have given up on men and joined the suffragettes with sandys mum ;)
ReplyDeleteThats a funny idea mrsharrypotter, but so awesome! I still prefer Will to Dick, but I prefer Dick to Mark! Anyone else have favourites for Christina?
ReplyDeleteWilliam all the way. Sorry KM Peyton, but the 3rd and 4th books are bad. Dick, no. Mark, just wrong. William, perfect.

ReplyDeleteI agree, but I liked having dick back, its only in book four when i seriously got fed up with christinas multiple men ;)
DeleteI agree Red Head. Its so unfair, I liked Will! :( Lol

ReplyDeleteI agree (:
DeleteI like the difference in opinion, I was starting to worry that maybe I had biased this post a little bit! Thankyou for your honesty, from RedHead

ReplyDeleteI agree with the bridgit jones reference, wonder if km based the fights on that movie? (:
DeleteThe books were written before the films were released. I think you meant that naybe the director based the fights on the books.
