I finally finished Blue at the Mizzen, the 20th book in the Aubrey-Maturin series. Waaaah! When I started, I was awed by how much I had to read... now I wish I had as much again!

So what to read next? I pondered. I read The Golden Compass some years ago when it first came out. Bought the next book, but didn't read it, because I'd heard it stopped rather than ended, and I wanted to wait for the third. Now I've got all three, so I'm rereading the first one again. Fascinating and disturbing - I'm enjoying this thoroughly.

But I miss Jack and Stephen.

Oh, you will cry and cry and cry when you finish that trilogy! And if you're like me you'll also cry at various parts throughout. They are such good books.

I've already gotten the shivers several times.

Hey, I really liked The Hero & the Crown, too! And the other one, The Blue Sword, too. Bought 'em for Emrys - he liked them, and so did I!

Yay for Robin McKinley! If you liked The Hero & The Crown (my all-time favorite) you should try her newest, Sunshine. It's a for-grownups book, so that means vampires and teh hot sexx!! :)
