Gorgeous books aren't they *grins* It sent me off on tis thing about reaidng books with swords in.. yes, I know, I am strange *L*
Another trilogy I read after that (having to keep swords in the story, and quite fantasy like, and for children *L*) is a series by Lian Hearn.. the first is "Across the Nightingale Floor" followed by "Grass for His Pillow" and "Brilliance of the Moon"..
Not in the Abhorsan class, but good none the less.or.. theres Garth Nix other series (they all have a day of the week in the title.. "Mister Monday" was the first, then "Grim Tuesday" and "Drowned Wednesday" has just come out, but I've not read that yet). They're OK.. I was a little dissapointed in them though.
Oh.. Oh.. I know what I must tell you.. Theres a jasper Fforde festival being held in September.. it looks SUCH fun.. me and a mate are thinking of going.. http://www.jasperfforde.com/festival.html Would that make us terribly geeky??!
And on the subject of Jasper.. he has a new book coming out.. "The Big Over Easy".. looks fantastic and I can't wait!!! *grins* We get it 2 weeks before you, so want me to express mail you a copy??! *lol* And according to Amazon.co.uk we get a new Thursday Next book next year!!! (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0340835702/qid=1117838419/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl/026-5010772-5998056)
HOW excited am I?! *l*OK.. ramble over!!
