I. am going. to die. of envy. lucky! true, i could buy it online for a reasonable price, but it's so much more rewarding to find something you've been looking for in a store, and I've been hunting that one for years
Yesterday: Robin McKinley's Deerskin. Freaked me out rather a lot, but was v. good all the same.
I suppose I was freaked out by it the first time I read it. the part towards the beginning still makes me uncomfortable, but I have such a great love for this book (I'm usually in tears of rapture by the end) that I cannot remember being freaked out. hard to explain, s'just the book moves me to very strong emotions and I'm definately upset by the painful bits but it is totally an empathetic feeling... *blech words not working* anyways, I'm glad you read it ^_^
I should make it a goal to reread almost all of Patricia McKillip's books in the next few months, because there are some that for the life of me I can't remember the plots, even vaguely. of her 22 books I own 18, but there some I haven't reread for ages and ages. I really adore The Cygnet and the Firebird, but yes you should read The Sorceress and the Cygnet first. and then we can talk about them!
