The thing about a Civil Campaign was that Miles screwed up in such a Miles way, and then - um spoiler fonting the rest
was forgiven the way we forgive people who screw up when we love them enough and know that the screw up was made partially out of love.
They do have a broad appeal: they're very character-based, but there is also smart sciencey world-building, tricky politics, and exciting battle sequences. And moral dilemmas.
ALL of those things appeal to my Dad. If it wasn't for the fact that he's trying to cut down the time he spends online, I'd tell him to come here for book discussion.
I want a book of Sunshine's recipes. I was practically drooling over the descriptions.
Oh, I know. (Aaaaand I just realized that book would be torture to reread now while I'm on a gluten-free diet.)
Well, I'm now on a sugar-free, carb-free diet ... or lifestyle as the case may be. I've had to start cooking again.
do y'all that have Kindles have cases? Because some people on Amazon say after cases theirs didn't work so well, but three percent of people on Amazon never like ANYTHING, so...
I prefer keeping my Kindle in a case. I carry it around in a pocket of my purse where I also stash pens, pencils, other stuff and want to have something between the screen and all my other junk.
My Kindle 3 had a case that hooked into the Kindle and I never had a problem with it, tho' I have read that other people had issues. My Kindle Fire has a case that is held on to the Kindle by elastic bands. I've only had it for a couple of weeks so I don't yet know how well it will last.
I got a custom quilted thing on Etsy. Love it.

I currently have the amazon-made case that is boring and black and hooks into the kindle. I like that it hooks in but the elastic strap has completely stretched out (in a year) and is kinda useless now. So I ordered a new one (with a pretty cover) and will see...it was supposed to get here yesterday but I think is delayed with the snow!
I have a case for my kindle and it works fine.
I love McKillip. The one I've read most recently was the Bards of Bone Plain and it was lovely.
I want more Cordelia from the Vorkosigans.
I loved the Chalion books and found the Sharing Knife books lacking.
Do you guys use covers that you read with the Kindle in, or more like envelopes? I hate both my Nook and my tablet in covers that I'm supposed to operate them in. No added bulk or form factor.
Oh! Found the Chalion book on my shelf. I don't remotely remember any of it.

I have one of the ones that hooks into the Kindle, and I kind of like it, except that it's hinged on the left, like a book, and gets a bit in the way of the left-side control buttons. I am left-handed so I like to use those buttons. I often end up folding back the cover of the case like a pback novel cover.
