Informazioni su di meRecently married and moved house so slowly trying to sort our new joint book collection.
I really, really like books. Both reading and owning. I've recently started using BookMooch too.
My thread for the 2010 75 Book Challenge is here:
http://www.librarything.com/topic/80944
Informazioni sulla mia bibliotecaWe have lots of books and I am slowly adding these to Librarything. I'm looking forward to finding out exactly how many!
All books are ours unless they are marked as 'Read but unowned' or 'Wishlist'. Wishlist books are my way of keeping track of all the book recommendations I have been getting from the 75 Books Challenge Group.
Books tagged as wrong cover have a different cover to those already uploaded to the site. At some point I need to spend some time with our scanner...
Books in the 'Omnibus' collection are the individual works we own in omnibus form. These haven't been included in our library.

I just read your review of Feist's 'Daughter of the Empire' (which I haven't read yet), and I really, really agree with this bit of your review (about novels in general): "...Feist seems to describe his characters' personality by using descriptive passages. I prefer writers who let you discover their characters' personalities based on how they act in the book or interact with other characters rather than having it explicitly spelled out for me. I find it slightly patronising and it reminds me that I'm reading a book rather than being completely immersed in the world of the characters in the novel."
And it made me wonder if you've tried reading Garth Nix's Old Kingdom trilogy (i.e. Sabriel, Abhorsen, Lirael) by any chance. I reckon Nix is really good at getting character exposition right (as you describe above). (Though I don't particularly recommend Nix's Keys to the Kingdom series.)

This is a site that FlossieT (Rachael) sent to me awhile ago. I think you might enjoy it. Please be sure to click on the Peter Trippi interviews under the right hand column marked resources.

You can cancel it. I'd actually totally forgotten about it, and I'm trying to cut back on mooches right now anyways because we're moving. It's still on my wishlist, so I'll be keeping an eye out, but it's not something I need soon. Thank you anyways!

Thanks for the heads up! I didn't realize I had a hot review. I've heard that Cranford has made it across the pond, but I haven't seen it. I chose this book a year ago for my RL bookclub and this was the month to read it.
Hot reviews are a rare treat for me. I'm excited.
