The Time Traveller’s Guide to Medieval England sounds so interesting – I’m always saying I don’t really read much historical fiction, but I find this type of “resource” or “research” historical nonfiction so interesting.

I hope you post the link to your review here, because I would love to hear what you think of it. It seems like you are reading some great stuff right now. I, too, loved Emma, and I am also rationing Austen’s works since there will surely be nothing new in the future. I hope you end up loving them all and will be looking forward to your reviews.

I agree that this book really didn’t seem dated, certainly less so than “The King’s Fool” did.

I may have to check out “The Knife of Never Letting Go” if you still like it when you finish, after all the buzz I’ve heard.

To answer your “why do libraries buy the second book but not the first” question: Usually what happens is that a book no one is expecting to be popular turns out to be quite popular, so when the sequel comes out the library buys it. They see no point in spending budget money on the first book, because they figure most people who wanted to read it probably already have. I guess as a late-comer to the series that doesn’t make sense, but from a budget stand-point it sure does.

I fully expect to fall in love with An Echo in the Bone, which I plan to start tomorrow.

What I mean by that is that I had to go add two of the books in this post to my wish list, and in the process I got sidetracked by amazon, paperbackswap and librarything. It was fun, but kind of amusing that I was so easily distracted (not a big surprise though since there are so many ways to find new books online). Anyway, I just came back after all of my wandering to say thanks for the book recommendations!

I like most of them, but I don’t get all excited about them. I think the last book I really loved was either Perfect Chemistry or the Secret Desires of a Gentleman (I read them back-to-back and don’t remember which one I read first).

I’ve never read Emma. The miniseries/movies I’ve seen of the book have been way too annoying, so I had no desire to read the book.

And hooray for Emma and The Knife of Never Letting Go! The last book I fell in love with was Mortal Love by Elizabeth Hand.
