Argh, have just found out that LJ is still not emailing me all my comments! Grrrr.

This makes me so happy ^_^.

Yay Bradshaw, Zelazny, Walton, and Stevermer! I regularly push River Rats on people with the announcement that it's the best post-apocalyptic punk rock-and-roll steamboat YA novel ever. Oddly, that works. *g*

Mely recs are good things! I hope you had enough room in your bags to get them all home...

River Rats got me to go back to 1crowdedhour's work after I disliked the first one I tried (When the King Comes Home just didn't hit me right.)

That is a great description. I love Mely recs too ^_^. I amazingly did have juuuuust enough room in my duffel bag to stuff everything in (mostly because I brought over the afghan I finished to give to my sister), but it ended up weighing 30+ pounds!

[oyceter]

Mwahahahaha you have no car! Neener ;).

Though you can totally borrow it!

Yay for the Bradshaw! Have also read the Walton; my memories of it are vague, but I mostly remember liking it.

I am very glad to have completely new authors to read! Quite exciting ^_^.
