wherein Liz reads stuff

[edenfalling]

There are a lot of books that I sort of vaguely intend to read at some point. Like, A LOT a lot. Most of them I never do get around to, because other things come up and a vague intention is easily forgotten or set aside, but now and then I do actually make good on things.

Which is a long way of saying that I checked out Megan Whalen Turner's The Thief and The Queen of Attolia yesterday (sadly, my local library does not own the next two books), took them home in the evening, and made the terrible life choice to start reading them at 10pm.

...

I put hold requests on The King of Attolia and A Conspiracy of Kings this afternoon. Hopefully they will arrive on Friday.

Oh, yikes! I'm not sure; it might end up being one of those things, like the Vorkosigan saga, where I don't feel at all confident in my ability to adequately recreate the intricate conversational layers and plans-within-plans. Then again, challenges are good for the soul...

Ask me again after I read books 3 and 4 and I'll be able to give a more informed answer.

Hee. :) No worries. It would be fun if you do end up being able to write it, but I understand the reasons why you're hesitating. I do feel like you'd do an amazing job in writing a modern AU of it.
