I posted this on Tumblr also--here is my happy birthday, EK!

A homage to The Fall of the Kings and a happy birthday greeting to Ellen Kushner.

A pool in the forest, flat and bright. A man knelt by it, naked from the waist up. He seemed to be gazing into the pool; his face was hidden by a fall of hair, some of it braided with ribbon. His arms were braced against the pool’s edge; his hands were tense.

Very beautiful! I'm glad you chose to highlight The Fall of the Kings.

I'd hate to have to pick a favorite! But I will admit that The Fall of the Kings is one of my top two! Thanks, Ann!

The images are broken for me :(

So sorry. That is not my fault, that's Live Journal. Nothing I can do about it. They look good here for me at the moment, but images can be random on LJ. They are also on my Tumblr--you can see them there: http://heartofoshun.tumblr.com/post/130597207743/i-love-them-all-but-picked-the-fall-of-the-kings

Oh, I'm so glad you did this. I recently started rereading The Fall. Still love it. To me that's the true test of a book, if I can read it multiple times and still love it.
