I went back and bought a Three Kingdoms opera doll yesterday, even though I only know the story through references in other things. It was too cool to pass up, and they only had two left (compared to seven on Monday) so I got there just in time!
I also found replacement copies of the first four Vlad Taltos novels, which I gave to a friend and then told her to pass along. Alas, this copy of JHEREG contains zero pressed leaves. Dammit, Past Me.
Good thing there are two more days left in June because I *just* updated my monthly goal! 😉 I'm working on the #readyoursign challenge and my goal was 4 books.
Leftover from May = Dinotopia
Emotional character = Wrinkle in Time
Gem = Ruby
Planet = Moonshot
Love Match (Scorpio) = Jhereg
Since I'm the #cancer and my s.o. is a #scorpio, I pestered him to choose my last book. Welcome aboard, Jhereg! 🐲 You made the deadline.
pickFriends, this was so much fun! On one level, it's a short, snappy fantasy mystery with great narrative voice. On another, it's the sort of series opener that makes you want to know every little thing about the characters and their world, and that promises even more awesome stuff along the way because the series is nonlinear. I can't wait to weave my way through Vlad's life, picking up a few more answers in each instalment.
There's a leaf in my book, and I honestly don't know if I put it there myself (likely because it struck my fancy on the walk home from the book sale) or if I bought this particular copy because it had a cool leaf in it and I felt a kinship with whoever put it there.
