Oh, WOW! So many new books to try! (Though I have read some of them.)

Blogging this; thanx

[sartorias]

Thank you for passing the word!

[serialbabbler]

Hey, cool. There are actually a few in there that I haven't come across before. :)

[sartorias]

Good! I'm particularly interested in discovering new Australian writers--they are tough to find out about here.

Sophie Masson?

[sartorias]

Tried!

On a quick scan, I miss Zenna Henderson, Jo Walton, Liz Williams, and Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, each of whom has written books I could not endure to part with when we thinned out before last year's move. I think I'm most amazed not to see Walton.

[sartorias]

Oh, yes! Walton indeed, and Zenna Henderson as well!

[serialbabbler]

I probably would have added Sydney J. Van Scyoc just because I'm fond of Sunwaifs.

[sartorias]

The list with comments is getting ever better!

Madeleine Robins has a brilliant and wonderful swordswoman in her own Point of Honor, and a hedgewitch who learns better in Sold for Endless Rue. Read them and be happy!

[sartorias]

Oh, I thoroughly endorse that.

[mamculuna]

But many thanks for the link! I've already spent money on some of these I didn't know earlier.

And brand-new" LJ's own Laura Wise's Wish-Queen and Traveler (if Lord Peter Wimsey had also been a mage...)

[sartorias]

Thanks for the link!

Has Sayers gone public domain, then?
