I've only read Swordspoint of the lot, but it was pretty great so I hope you'll like it!
(It looks like Lifelode is a rare book to own, I hope it gets an ebook release soon-Jo Walton says it will on goodreads- because it sounds like my cup of tea and I've never heard of it before)

Congrats on the sales!

Swordspoint had been on my to-read list for years, but finding a signed hardcover copy of it at a used book stall is what finally resulted in me picking up a copy. I know there's at least a sequel or two by now. Oddly, I know enough about the characters and the story to have attended panels on it/kept up reasonably well, but I should just read it, finally. I never thought I'd have so many things draining my bandwidth that reading takes a back-seat to everything else, but that's the story of my past four or five years.

*hugs back* Thanks.

My immune system couldn't stand up to the past 12 months, that's for sure. About 6 days ago, it went NOPE, and I was down for the count. I hope this won't hang on for much longer.

Ironically, other reading not listed here has filled my docket to such a point that I have not gotten to this yet. Peple keep lending me things.
