I'm honestly a little giddy. I ADORE him, and his list is really discerning. Whee!
'Dirty Girls'
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."
Awesome, Amy!!
Yay, Amy!
Yay Amy! Very cool.
Couples - I love many of the ones you listed, Amy, and will see if any others come to mind.
Jilli, OMG, would love to read an Addams family book by you. I have an old hardback collection of the comics that was my grandmother's.
Richard/Alec (Swordspoint)
Oh, yes, yes, yes!
Have you read Privilege of the Sword?
Elizabeth/Darcy?
Laura/Almanzo

Oooh, you lucky thing. I have some vintage paperbacks.
Have you read Privilege of the Sword?
Yes! And I loved it. I loaned it to the StuntHusband, who made clappyhands of glee over it.
Amy, how cool!
Man, I loved Privilege of the Sword. So freaking good.

I've got one that I picked up at a used bookstore for a dollar, I think. The dustjacket is falling apart, but the rest of it is in good shape!
So Amazon had a Kindle deal for the Parasol Protectorate, and I got the first three books for $10. Finished Soulless last night.
It was fun. I'm not overwhelmed by the writing, but it's entertaining. However I was thrown right out of the story by the fact that Queen Victoria was introduced as "Her royal highness" rather than "Her Majesty". I don't pretend to be a specialist in noble etiquette, but I'm pretty sure that's wrong...
I also rather wished that the romance had been more drawn out: Alexia and Conall went from sparring to necking rather quickly, and I would have enjoyed seeing the beginning of the relationship, too. I felt like I missed out on something.
But it was fun enough that I'll be reading the rest.
