Oooh...I shall have to make a note of them, and add them to my list. :D Although I'm doing an English class right now, so I'm stuck reading Dickens' "Bleak House"

And yes, you are the Queen of Sci-Fi/Fantasy....it is your calling!

And I realize that it's probably quite redundant to rec a book to you, as you're probably familiar with it, but not so long ago I finished Anne Bishop's "Black Jewels Trilogy." First series in a loooong time that I totally fell in love with. For me, it had everything...made me laugh, cry, and fall in love with all the main characters for quite different reasons...and the bad guys are really hateable. The world she built for it is fascinating in its complexity, and I can't wait to tackle the other books she's set there.
