You found a copy of Shards of Honor that was just Shards of Honor? Oh, how I envy you! Also, you remind me that I must check The Light Princess out of the library here. It's been too long since I read it, and the family copy is, naturally, with the family rather than with me.
My favorite Bujold is probably Memory or Komarr, for various reasons, though I have a soft spot for Falling Free; my engineering-sf fanishness goes way back. Paladin of Souls is something special. Of those, only Falling Free can ideally be read without previous ones as enriching background, though one of the nice things about Bujold is the way that (at least until these last few books) any one of her books picked up individually could be enjoyed that way. Favorite Bujold is difficult to answer. Least favorite is much easier! The Hallowed Hunt, no contest. :-)

Did you just start reading Bujold?
