reading magic

As a new Charles de Lint fan, I'm a little late to the party. But I'm making up for it. Since Jilly Coppercorn is my favorite character (who doesn't love Jilly?), I'm reading all the books and collections featuring her, in order of publication. I'm almost finished with "Dreams Underfoot." Next will be "Memory And Dream," which I had started reading a few months ago and stopped when I realized I didn't know enough about the world. When I've finished that, I'll read "The Ivory And The Horn." After that, "Moonlight And Vines." After that, "Tapping The Dream Tree." Then, I'll read "The Onion Girl," the first book about Jilly as a whole. And then the sequel, "Widdershins." By the time that's all done, I'll be all set to read "Promises To Keep."

Then I can go back to reading other authors for a while. Eileen Wilks should have the new Tales Of The Wolves book out early next year, but CE Murphy won't have another Walker Papers book out until 2009. *sadface*
In the meantime, my copy of Mark Helprin's "Winter's Tale" is still patiently waiting for me to get back to it. That white horse and the streets of old Brooklyn can be very persuasive.

Oh, so many books to read, and only the rest of my life to read them all. That's not enough time.

I've read a few of those de Lint books and stories. They get a bit same-ish, so I don't know that I would return to them, but I really like the way he frames urban fantasy. :)

I feel the same way!

I love all of the Newford books :)

I remember some time ago you posting a review on "The Onion Girl." Can you find that for me so I can read it.

I'm not sure if I ever posted a formal review of it, and LJseek isn't helping me.
