Let's see.

I re-read Dealing With Dragons, Patricia C. Wrede.
I read Beauty, Patricia C. Wrede. I thought it was a re-read, but it was either not, or it was first read in one of my black fogs.
I read Sunshine, Robin McKinley.
I re-read The Blue Sword, Robin McKinley.
I re-read The Dragon Waiting, John M. Ford, thinking it was a first-time read, and finally getting it this time. (I was too young, too fogged, or both.)
I re-read Diplomatic Immunity, Lois McMaster Bujold, and liked it much better.

This isn't in one day, mind. It's just all (I think) either after Halloween or slightly before, and since.

All of them are or should be old friends.

Do you mean Beauty by McKinley, or does Wrede have one I don't know of?

[azurelunatic]

Oh. McKinley. Yeah.

*sigh* Where is my mind, again?

are you reading?

Bujold's Chalion books as well? I read the first, Curse of Chalion, and thought it quite good, almost up to the level of a first-water Vorkosaga, and better than some of the weaker ones. Haven't yet assayed the latest (hardback) of Chalion, as non-fic and a few other old friends have kept me busy, instead.

Bujold is one of my buy-on-sight authors. I read the latest within a few weeks of its release, and enjoyed it immensely. There were a few near-Milesian moments, such as the moment with the [spoiler].

Are you familiar with lmbujold and the associated e-mail list? If you're onlist, you would know me as JL/Azz-the-Younger.
