For Sale: “Echo” by Francesca Lia Block

Sunday, December 11th, 2005

Jenny gave me the hardbound edition of Echo so I’m selling my paperback one.

Maybe I would become a mermaid…I would live in the swirling blue-green currents, doing exotic underwater dances for the fish, kissed by sea anemones, caressed by seaweed shawls. I would have a dolphin as a friend. He would have merry eyes and the thick sleeked flesh of a god. My fingernails would be tiny shells and my skin would be like jade with light shining through it. I would never have to come back up…

Echo is caught at the crossroads of a physical world full of hope and despair and the realm of the supernatural, where young men have wings and skeletons speak. On the way, she is graced by angels and fairies and haunted by ghosts, psychopomps, and vampires. But as Echo falls under the spell of demons who threaten to destroy her, she must ultimately look within to find the strength to survive.

Through shifting points of view, Francesca Lia Block weaves pure magic into this deftly constructed tale — a novel told in the form of linked stories. One girl’s life emerges from a tapestry of voices, lives, and loves — lost and found — that deliver her finally to herself, triumphant, ever-changing.

If you are interested, I listed the book on Ebay Philippines.

Uh I didn’t go out today. Mom didn’t feel like going to Tiendesitas so I just slept again from 4 until…8:30 PM. Embarrassing how lazy I really am. When I woke up, I saw that Vix sent me a text asking me what time I’ll go to the gig. I told her I just woke up and I’ll just follow. BUT tonight was the Pinoy Big Brother finals and I really wanted to watch it. I’m badauy, I know. I took PBB over a goth gig. I was also feeling very lazy cos it was raining and it’s a long drive. So… sorry guys. You know who you are. I super promise I’ll be there next time.
