Beliar: Heh, I love both BJT and Wayfarer Redemption. There are several books out for the BJT trilogy, both as Prequels and Sequels, and further story development as well. I'll give you a list.

1. Dreams Made Flesh
2. Tangled Webs
3. The Invisible Ring
4. The Shadow Queen
5. Coming in March will be "Shaldor's Lady!!!" (I can't wait ^^)

Have you read any of Anne Bishop's other works? The Ephemera books, and the Tir Alainn Trilogy are excellent reads as well. I can't really pick my favorite book series when it comes between choosing the different Anne Bishop series, they are all equally excellent and great, intriguing reads.

Tutela: She's writing another one? Thats great! There is so much she could add onto the series without it getting boring x33
Well the only other series I read from her was Sebastion in the Ephemera books. I don't think I ever bought Belladonna and if I did I never got around to reading it for whichever reason. It was a good book though so I'll probably end up finishing the series.
I don't know, they are all excellent books, but my favorites would have to be the first three. I also like how she writes about different people in some of the books (like the Invisible Ring) because there is so many different things she could do with the World she has created.

I just finished my first book in like two weeks and it felt good. <3 Granted, it was the third book in The Luxe series, and not a very hard read, but still. It took me three days, but on the first day I only had time to read eleven pages. XD
They're good books, the writing style has really grown on me and the plot is fascinating. I don't actually like any of the characters, but I cannot put them down when I'm reading them! I'm not particullarly driven to find out what happens next in between books, though...

I found out the fourth book, which just came out, is the last one, and I'm a little happy it'll all be done with. I'm curious to see what happens and won't particullarly miss the characters once I'm done with it, so...
I wouldn't mind not reading it for a few months, but I'd really like to have all four books neat and tidy on this year's reading list. XD

Eight books to go!

Dream, I've been wanting to read those Kushiel books for a long time now. I even own two of them. But the size of them is pretty intimidating. ;__;

Gah! I'm sooo upset. I was going to reread Madeleine L'Engle's Time series, but I can't find my copy of A Wrinkle in Time or my library card. T_T And I can't remember if I've read An Acceptable Time or not, but I'll probably have to buy that one, since I don't appear to have it.

Don't you hate when that happens? And I could have sworn I saw it just the other day too.

Risika: I'm sure you can get another library card? I know my library charges like $1 for a new one, so it shouldn't be too hard to get another one. ^_^

@Risika
I've not read the Time series in so very, very long. I don't think I even have my books anymore. I had old, old copies that my mom got ages ago, and the first three were all wavy and wrinkled because of getting wet at some point. I now really, really want to reread those books. I absolutely loved them. XD

Hullo Iltu. :3 What book(s) are you working on? >w< Did you finish that one with the awesome title?

Hi Anthony. c:

I'm actually workiong on Othello... aaaand that one with the awesome title. :gonk: I kept leaving Nine Gates where ever I was not. (School when I was at home, mom's hosue when i was at my dad's, dad's house when I was at my moms, and so on.) So I finally just have it firmly in my hands again and AM NOT LETTING GO. I am determined to finish it this weekend, even though I don't have a whole lot of free time.

Ha ha. xD those books are slippery things, they are. D:

I should read Othello. I feel like I've seen it performed, but I don't know that I've ever read it... I love Shakespeare. x3

Now I definitely have to pick it up. xD

Macbeth is one I've always wanted to read. I know there's a curse behind saying the name if you plan to perform it, but I've never actually read it. (Really, there are far too many Shakespearean plays I've not read that I should... /fail)

I've not read Macbeth either, but I REALLY want to.
I need to get the complete works of Shakespeare read within the next year or so...

*jumping in to the conversation*

My favorite Shakespeare play is King Lear. I just love the way the relationships are portrayed -- especially Cordelia's true love for her father. But I always have to laugh at Goneril. Just a weird, weird name that makes me think of other things. *laughs*

But, you have to know -- Shakespeare is meant to be seen, not read! One very interesting play I saw some years ago was done at Shakespeare in the Park, and it was Richard III. The director set the play during WWI. The set was minimal, and most everyone was in some sort of military uniform. It was VERY interesting, to say the least. It really makes you pay attention to what's going on in the play, rather than the set and surroundings.

I've seen an updated version of one of his plays... I can't remember which it was, sadly, but it was totally set in a little bubble-gum shoppe with the poodle skirts and all. It was awesome.

I went to Shakespeare in the park once, I think. It was a blast. xD I'd love to get out to it again. Of course, I'd also love to get to RenFest, and that hasn't happened yet either. >>;

Macbeth on the Estate is legendary. It's literally on crack- Duncan (Ray Winstone) is a drug dealer. XD
