What's on my TBR ?
Library books I've got on my To Be Read pile include Penelope Lively's The Ghost of Thomas Kempe - a re-read from childhood; an anthology called Centuries of Stories; Icefire by Chris d'Lacey (I'm reading The Fire Within right now); The Devil's Arithmetic - Jane Yolen; The Folk Keeper - Franny Billingsley; The Fantastical Adventures of the Invisible Boy (aka The Gawgon and the Boy) - Lloyd Alexander; these three are all a consequence of reading Leonard S Marcus' The Wand in the Word; Michael Chabon's The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay and The Final Solution (the result of reading Summerland); Tolkien's Roverandom; Louis Sachar's Small Steps (sequel-of-sorts to Holes); and the first two of Chris Bunch's Star Risk series - I've got the third book to read as well, but I own that one as I'm now a reviewer for Orbit and Atom, the fantasy and YA publishing arms (respectively) of Little, Brown. I also have Scott Westerfeld's Midnighters: The Secret Hour and Midnighters: Touching Darkness, Fiona McIntosh's Betrayal (book one of the Trinity series), and Trudi Canavan's Priestess of the White and Last of the Wilds to read. I'm pretty excited about becoming a reviewer for Orbit, not least because they publish one of my favourite "fantasy for adults" writers (Juliet E McKenna) !

That's brilliant, Michele! (Becoming a reviewer for Orbit rather than your TRB pile.) Congratulations!
Thanks ! I'm rather pleased, I must say !
Yeah, Michele! I knew it was coming, but it's great to see it in print.
How about Sunday the 23rd, btw?
Cheers Kelly !!
I'll email you about next weekend...
Wonderful, truly fantastic - though actually I should be congratulating Orbit and Atom for getting you!
*blushes* Thanks Linda !
