- Alice Hoffman, Turtle Moon, Here on Earth and Local Girls (yup, Hoffman is one of those overflow authors from the bookstore. I also really liked her Practical Magic, so I'll see if I like these)
Turtle Moon is one of my favorite Hoffmans (along with Practical Magic), and I like Here on Earth as well (if I'm remembering correctly that it's the one that plays off Wuthering Heights).
- Juliet Marillier, Son of the Shadows (I had this. But in TPB. And I had the mass market versions of the first and third books of the series. It looked bad on my shelf, so I gave my TPB copy of this to my friend because I like spreading books around, and now I have the mass market of all three of them, haha! Maybe I am a little obsessive about my books, but really, I cannot be blamed because I worked in a bookstore and therefore have finicky book organizing habits. This is my story and I am sticking to it)
Oh, now I don't feel so odd - I do this too. Books in a set should match! I particularly do it because I keep my fantasy/sf and mystery MMPBs on a separate bookshelf from the HCs and TPBs, so if I have books in the same series in different bindings, they can't be shelved next to each other.
- Juliet E. McKenna, The Warrior's Bond and The Assassin's Edge (I've never heard of these. They are also the 4th and 5th books of a five book series. The backs make them sound wretched. But I haven't tried a random new author in ages, and I had a $2 bag. Also, they were like new and the back mentions something about a female thief, which is apparently one of those things I like)
I just read these and had mixed feelings about them - interesting premise, but not very good writing, unfortunately.
