the next Vorkosigan novel.
Oh, yay!!!
(Please let this one be much more like Komarr than Diplomatic Immunity. Pleeeeeeeeeeeease.)
I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Pleeeeeeeeeeeease
From your lips to her ears. Or, um, fingers. Given the title, I suspect it's going to give us some more fallout from Memory, but of course I could be entirely wrong.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Diplomatic Immunity.
But wasn't that the one with the bug butter and that dinner party scene that played like it was straight out of a screwball comedy by Ernest Lubitsch? I'd love that book for that scene alone. Komarr was pretty forgettable though. I could never get into whatsherface that Miles married. Elena something? No, that's his first girlfriend.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
That was A Civil Conflict (? do I have that right?)

Jumping in, it was A Civil Campaign.
I love Bujold!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Hey, anyone buy ebooks through Barnes and Noble?
They have a Lend an Ebook beta and I would love to know if anyone has tried it. SO far, you can do it on your PC and a Nook, but they say it's coming for iPhone/Touch soon.
I think I have one of the books in the Beta, but I would LOVE to try it out with someone.

Ok, I have Alien Taste by Wen Spencer and Demon Mistress by Yasmine Galenorn in my B&N library that are eligible for the LendMe beta, if anyone is interested.

Heh. I had to go check....but I"ve already read that Wen Spencer (and prefer her non-Ukiah Oregon books, but liked that series OK).

Vonnie, the wife is Ekaterin. Diplomatic Immunity is the first novel after they marry, and it's kind of run of the mill mystery, set on the same space station with the quaddies as in Falling Free. I found it, astonishing for Bujold, eminently forgettable.
I wish I liked Ekaterin better than I do, but frankly there isn't a female character in the series who can compete with Cordelia. Although Alys and Lady Dono are pretty fun.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Isn't she Donna now? Formerly Dono?
I enjoyed the Sharing Knife series a great deal, but am Super Excited for more Vorkosigan!
