Description Conducive To Books The Well of Lost Plots (Thursday Next #3)
Protecting the world's greatest literature—not to mention keeping up wit Miss Havisham—is tiring work for an expectant mother. And Thursday can definitely use a respite. So what better hideaway than inside the unread and unreadable Caversham Heights, a cliché-ridden pulp mystery in the hidden depths of the Well of Lost Plots, where all unpublished books reside? But peace and quiet remain elusive for Thursday, who soon discovers that the Well itself is a veritable linguistic free-for-all, where grammasites run rampant, plot devices are hawked on the black market, and lousy books—like Caversham Heights—are scrapped for salvage. To top it off, a murderer is stalking Jurisdiction personnel and nobody is safe—least of all Thursday.

Books about books/reading are my favourites. And there is some amazing imagination at work here. Unfortunately, the book didn't really click with me. I wanted to like it but it took me ages to read it. And I felt like a small child watching Shrek - I noticed that there are heaps of references and jokes that I just didn't get because I do not know all the books mentioned. There are so many outstanding ideas in this book but knowing there is a joke I just don't get is frustrating in itself andJust got this one and had to read it right away. I was going to wait, as I still haven't read Lost in a Good Book, but I picked it up just to look through it and I couldn't put it down. I'm not even sure really why I like this series so much. Maybe just because it is so different. Or maybe it's all the Lewis Carroll stuff. But it was really good and I'm anxious to read more in this series.
Onto book 3 I went.There is something about this series of books that is just an easy kind of read but keeps you entertained all the way. I can't really remember the last time I enjoyed a series of books so much as this, I love all the little subplots being interwoven in each book and how you end up with more answers, but then even more questions at the end of each one.I enjoyed this book so much, learning more about the Bookworld, how you make up the generics and just quite literally seeing a

Book 3 of the Thursday Next Series was absolutely amazing. In this one we go behind the cover and pages of a book and travel INSIDE where the characters, plots, readership, and all things book-related are governed by Jurisfiction agents governed by the Council of Genres.In the last book there was a major event that made Thursday Next go into the Character Exchange Program and she is now hiding out in the Well of Lost Plots where books are unpublished or awaiting creation. While there agents seem

Re-read as part of the #thursdaysareforthursday Instagram read along with @booksandfrogs"'The Well of Lost Plots is where we interface the writer's imagination with the characters and plots so that it will make sense in the reader's mind. After all, reading is arguably a far more creative and imaginative process than writing; when the reader creates emotion in their head, or the colors of the sky during the setting sun, or the smell of a warm summer's breeze on their face, they should reserve as
5.0 to 5.5 stars. I liked this book so much that when I finished it I had to really wonder whether I should go back and re-read the first two books in the series (which I have 4 stars and 3 stars respectively). The writing was absolutely superb, the plot was engaging and very original and the literary references hysterical. I found myself more than once jumping to Wikipedia to find out from which book a particular character or reference originated. A few fun examples (1) a rage counseling
