Yay!! The boy bought me the Lymond Chronicles, and they are sitting on my shelf, and they are beautiful and new and lovely with no creases. I, er, flipped to the "Languish locked in L!" scene in Ringed Castle while I was shelving, and read on with a huge grin on my face.

They're mine now!! *cackles* Hee, the library can have its copies back now (I was hanging on to them and doing the "good parts" reread).

I've also started Pamela Dean's Secret Country trilogy, and why why why why didn't anyone ever give this to me when I was a kid?! Maybe it's for the best, because if I had read them as a kid, I would have been sorely disappointed about my own secret games never coming to life. Very glad I splurged and bought them yesterday.

I had a similar experience--possibly because it took me a while to be able to tell the characters apart. They just sort of all started coming out of the mist and being distinct and by the end I could remember who was who in the beginning. Very odd experience--it wasn't a bad thing, just interesting.

I've been ok with Patrick and Laura and Ted, but I've been having a really hard time keeping Ruth and Ellen straight.
