book recommendations?!?!?! - public post

[twink_q]

so ... most of our books are still in storage, so greenchimes and i have been haunting the stacks at our local library lately, and i've been trying to expand my reading horizons. i'm looking for book recommendations of any kind. some of my tastes and recommendations follow, but feel free to recommend something that might seem out of character.

Charles De Lint - I saw the library had some.

Amazing author - mixes the world of fae with the mundane world (because you know it's just a side-step away).

Start with "Jack of Kinrowan," "Drink Down the Moon" and "Memory and Dream."

I see he's written a new one recently, I'll have to grab it next time I'm at the library.

Also Terry Goodkind's series, The Sword of Truth are in this order:
Wizard's First Rule (1994)
Stone of Tears (1995)
Blood of the Fold (1996)
Temple of the Winds (1997)
Soul of the Fire (1999)
Faith of the Fallen (2000)
The Pillars of Creation (2001)
Naked Empire (2003)
Chainfire (2005)
Phantom (2006)
Confessor (to be released Fall 2007)

Eeek! I'm behind! I haven't gotten Phantom!!

since i first posted this, greenchimes handed me charles de lint's "into the green" - good stuff! moonheart is now in my request list.

jaran is now working its way toward me through interlibrary loan, ramsey county doesn't seem to have anything by kate elliot in the system.

didn't see ellis' celtic women in the system, but they have a half-dozen of his other books ... perusing ...

thanks for the recommendations! and hi yourself. ;)
