No, I'm still not done rewriting that scene, okay?
Let's change the subject.

Read any of these? Drop me a comment! And if you'd like a mini-review of any of these, say so in a comment, and I'll respond in a new post. Anything for you, baby.
The number of Jacqueline Carey books you've packed into the year has pretty much sold me on reading her stuff. Also, if you liked LeGuin's Gifts (which I loved), you should try Voices and Powers, the two sequels.
ReplyDeleteAt least 3/4 of these books I've either read or have on my to-read list. Good taste!
If you're going to read Jacqueline Carey, start with Kushiel's Dart, the first in the series. They're not everyone's cup of tea, but I love 'em.
ReplyDeleteI'm a huge LeGuin fan, so I'll definitely read Voices and Powers. I've read and passionately loved all her Hainish cycle novels, but this is my first foray into her YA.
