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."
In my opinion, the Niccolo books are less classically romantic and id-tastic than the Lymond books, but probably better written from a technical standpoint.
That might be what I need right now, actually. I just finished the Henriad (scripts and Hollow Crown DVDs), and I am up to here with id-tasticness (oh, Falstaff). Thank you, Consuela!
I am loving HILD. So much that I gave it a lot at xmas.
One of those, I could have waited on. Some scenes not suitable for my mother in law. Second time doing this to my inlaws. First time was with Saramugo's Blindness.
I really want to read Cold Magic soon. Thank you for the reminder, Juliana
I may have an advance copy of the new Jo Walton and I'm really excited about it. but I can't read it yet because I have to read a bunch of research AUGH.
I love Elliott's work; the Cold Magic series is really good.
I'll second (or whatever) the recs for the Tasha Alexander and Kate Ross mysteries. And I'll take note of the recs for Sebatian St Syr & Pirates.
Throwing another rec out there. I'm in the middle of The Golem and the Jinni by Helene Wecker, and I'm loving it so much!
It's the story of a female golem and a male Jinni who wind up in New York in 1899.
I'm having a really hard time putting it down.
FWIW, Kate Ross was a big Dorothy Dunnett fan...
Rayne, that book has shown up on a lot of best-of lists, and it sounds great! It's on my to-read list.
Maybe I'll look at them -- I loved the Kate Ross books so much.
Um... I guess it's good that Flynn is doing it with him, but it seems like they're about to change a big piece of what made the story so memorable.
I'm really not sure I even want to see that movie anymore.
