Thanks, Amy. That extension is wonderful. I've been doing the library-availability checking manually and this is so much easier.
Calli, I love the Temeraire books. I recently re-read the whole series and just fell into the world. I did not want to leave.
I also really appreciated Novik's writing -- the worldbuilding and the characters' voices, particularly Temeraire's. Such a charming character.
Isn't it the best, bennett? My Amazon wishlist functions as a kind of default library list anyway, but this is so efficient!
That link is so great Amy! I had to tweet it!

Charles Vess & Ursula Le Guin in conversation about the new illustrations from Earthsea.
I finally finished Silence Fallen by Patricia Briggs, and I have a very spoilery question for anyone who has already it. Did Adam
know that that was Bran the whole time, or was their some sort of glamour
?
I figured that
Adam knew
, but I did not go back and reread the part
when they're getting on the plane
to see if there were hints.
Yeah, I was confused by that whole plot point as well, sj.
I skimmed through them, and there were hints for the reader, but no hint that
Adam knew.
Which confused me. Although I suppose
Adam wouldn't have truly let a scared submissive wolf out of his sight in that environment.
The first review in Norman Spinrad's "On Books" in the May Asimov's(forgive my poor citation formatting, I am out of practice) is (a) just wonderful in its own right snd (2) mentions our own "David J. Schwartz's "The Sun Inside", the longest and best story in the section"
Swoon
The second review is China Mieville. I guess I should be reading China Mieville? I can't remember if I have tried or not.
Kinda stuck on catching up on CJ Cherryh (just finished book 7 of Foreigner or First Contact or whatever the atevi novels are known as and very into this project. Seeing heretofore unsuspected parallels between Bren Cameron and Miles Vorkosigan which I would like to parlay into a literature review of SF heroes written by women if someone would like to give me a grant for that) for a while, I think, but I could move Mieville from the "I've heard that name but I don't remember the context " mental list to "yes, read" list, I suppose.
