wow, that was 20 words... I fail.. :( I loved that series, and the final book was such an awesome ending.
So you can add reading comprehension fail to my list of negs. :D
1 : Yes, as it happens, I was quite precocious and was an agent prodigy at a young age, say 12 or so.
cracked me up.
Hm ... so many good authors to choose from. I'm going to go with Priest, I think. I read Four and Twenty Blackbirds a while back. Very much enjoyed the setting, and Eden & her ghosts made great characters. After reading a lot of more epic fantasy, this was a nice change of pace.
I've read all of Jim Butcher's Dresden books, except for the last one. But that's only because my husband is hogging it. And that really is telling of why I like Butcher's books so much. My husband and I rarely agree on anything in the lit spectrum, so it's nice to have a common ground series that we are both really into.
We even liked the sci-fi series!
(I remember when you were a wee newbie... even then, of course, I knew you were gonna be a star! *grins*)
Happy Agenty Bday!
I'd love to get my hands on Anne Bishop's Black Jewels Trilogy after it was recommended to me by Deb Dixon
Drop my name in the hat for the drawing, please. I'm always in favor of free books. :)
An author is a weaver of imagination fabric. That said, Ms. Bishop has provided me a lush landscape of a world and characters that can (and has) given rise to further tales. It isn't just that the central story is the focus, but the extended relationships of the characters leave room for more tales to be pursued.
Happy Agent Anniversay!! May the coming years be as fascinating and productive as the past 16 have been!
