Books! Yum!

I think one of the nicest things you could buy me is a book, a book I haven't read.  There's something wonderful that a friend says "I love this, and I want to share it with you, because you mean a lot to me."

I've been known many many times to give books from my own shelves as presents, because it's intimate and personal.  Probably the recipient thinks "bloody cheapskate"!!!  :)

Anyway, I got a birthday prez this morning from gehayi which was Legends II and Legends 3, with short stories by Pratchett and Le Guin and GRRM - I'm hoovering them up like a mad thing.  I LOVE NEW BOOKS!

Also, it's a great way to sample the writing of new (to me) writers and will let me know if I want to read more of them.  I'm already in love with Lord John Grey by Diana Galbaldon, I so wanted him to SNOG Stephan in Lord John and the Succubus, the UST was wonderful, all the same.

In writing news, I've had a worrying bunny thats been bashing me on the head for days about writing something about Jean-Baptiste Tavernier and the Hope Diamond...  I wonder if I can make that at ALL slashy?

I'll certainly get more of hers. I'm not over enthusiastic about the idea of the Outland story, the double marriage idea doesn't interest me, but Black Jack the sadistic bisexual DOES. (hee hee) so I might give them a try.

But I'll certainly dig out more of Lord John, he's just a DARLING. *huggles him*
