I'm totally tickled that 'Ianto's Journey' won a Wicked Award for Best Series (non-Whedon fandom).



And thank you to [livejournal.com profile] evalentine99 for my Gold Star!  Guess whose just finished series is getting nominated for Best Series in the next round?  Her
( The Man in Gray Series )
of course. If you haven't read this yet - you really should - it made me laugh and cry and so glad I didn't give up on the Torchwood fandom after MD. Great stories are still being written and this one is brilliant!

And
( Blocking Your Own Shot )
by Arnica was runner up for Best Original Plot (Window of Opportunity). It's a fantastic story - unlike any other post-Cyberwoman story I've ever read. If you like a self-destructive yet kick-ass Ianto, lots of sexy-sex and drugs and mayhem - this has got it all.

Nabbed from Sqyd who got it from Treacle Tartlet who yanked it from [info]fancypantsdylan who got it from...

"Bold the ones you’ve read COMPLETELY, italicize the ones you’ve read part of, and no cheating. Watching the movie or the cartoon doesn’t count. Abridged versions don’t count either. BTW, according to the BBC if you’ve read 7 of these, you are above the average."

But what exactly was the BBC trying to show? How did they pick these books?

Sqyd pointed out that Graham Green is missing and I'd add Wallace Stegner, Willa Cather, Naguib Mahfouz, Isabel Allende, Amos Oz, Homer, Sappho or Socrates to name a few if we are talking about 'classic' works.

Who else is missing from this list...no offense but JK Rowling, Douglas Adams & Dan Brown but no ancient Greek literature or philosophy? 3 Jane Austen's and no Bronte sisters? You're kiddng right? Or did I totally miss the point?
