amazon orders.

Just placed two orders. Split into two because a few had the irritating tendency to be "ships in 10-14 days" or whatever. Lame. But whatever.

Potion Study
Magic Study
Fire Study
Storm Glass
Sea Glass
Spy Glass
- All by Maria V. Snyder. They sound delightful, and they're all 400+ pages. 2400 worth of pages inside one world (one trilogy focuses on one set of characters, the next on a new set)? Tres bonne.

Snow White and Rose Red
Sorcery and Cecelia
The Thirteenth Child
- All by Patricia Wrede. I recently read Mairelon the Magician and the Magician's Ward (wish I hadn't lent it to my grandmother so I could be re-reading it, not that I don't have a stack of re-reads left until these new orders come). DELIGHTFUL. In that delightful sense that when you're reading it you know you're going to re-read it again and again and again because it's just that lovely.

I was considering purchasing this historical dragon fantasy - but I was a little leery as it was kind of too science fictiony/warish... not sure I'd read it and it reminded me that I really need to finish or at least try to finish Game of Thrones. ANd if I can't to return Clash of Kings if still possible.

I'm finding it kind of hard to get into. I can't get too attached to the characters.
