This book was unremarkable in the beginning but then very satisfying in many ways until the end. I enjoyed the exploding taxidermy and the overall improved independence of Stephanie. She is chasing a criminal mystery because she could be framed for murder. She does it, not Ranger.
I’m not done with the series. Part 13 was nice and refreshing.
I got a surprise new book. This one was sent to me by the publisher. I was pleasantly surprised and will write a review once I reread it. I’m very thankful for the nice surprise!
I find it very nice that people are republishing these old books. The old ones are collectibles and published with cheap paper so thin that you feel they’ll fall apart if you touch them. The new ones have a great quality and feel.
The previous edition (on the left) features me with this crossword puzzle:
I was about 16 when I did this creation. Can’t imagine solving it, it’s full of untraceable terminology from gamebooks. It says that there are only 2 squares that can’t be filled by using gamebook terms. Perhaps that’d be the 2 squares I’ll fill with my present-day knowledge.
Mladost 2, Sofia. There’s a facebook group dedicated to removing items like this but I find it interesting. Probably because I don’t see it very often.
I’m happy with the show. The music and execution were fantastic. It’s one of those events that sticks with you and leaves a lasting memory.
The team managed to sneak in some Bulgarian jokes and contemporary puns and localize the experience, particularly with Phantom’s signature. It was never PO.
It was difficult to find the cast – not on the show’s website or anywhere inside the venue. Leaving here for future reference, we had Nadim Naaman as the Phantom, Harriet Jones and Georgia Wilkinson as Christine, Lara Martins as Carlotta, and Dougie Carter as Raul. Sources – here and here.
This was the first time I had visited the number one hall of NDK (4K+ seats) since childhood. I researched where the music would be best. I think the 18th row was a bit far from the stage and I could’ve tried to find something closer, perhaps on another day.
It’s not too late to visit the show, it performs until Sunday.
