Have you read Robin McKinley's novel "Sunshine"? I think that's my single favorite vampire novel, it's wonderfully good.... When I was little I too wrote stories about talking animals, and I am contemplating a novel about a shapechanger too....Jenny Davidsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02295436498255927522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959297.post-1153295228838434542006-07-19T03:47:00.000-04:002006-07-19T03:47:00.000-04:00I have read everyone of Hamilton's books and a few...I have read everyone of Hamilton's books and a few of de Lints. I read their books because some part of my 16 year old mind hopes and prays that the creatures in their books walk the Earth. I was only 11 when I read my first Hamilton book.(Blue Moon)It started me to write my own books about lycans and vampires, mind you I was writing long before then, but my stories were filled with talking animales and fairies rather then sex blood and death. Hamilton's books opened a door in to the world that I loved and showed a darker part of it, and one look was enough for me to be hooked. I love all of her books and I am working on owning them. I am now reading Danse Macabre and I cant wait to see what happens next to Anita and all of her beautiful men.(Micha is my favorite, Asher is a close seccond!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959297.post-1151453940488696642006-06-27T20:19:00.000-04:002006-06-27T20:19:00.000-04:00Jenny, I like what you said about how buying a boo...Jenny, I like what you said about how buying a book can be a substitute for reading it. I do that too. It's like I'm saving the books I buy for some time when the world ends and the library shuts its doors for good. I posted about the library vs. the bookstore here: http://abookaweek.blogspot.com/2005/11/libob.html. You commented on my blog about Elizabeth Hand: any recommendations? And do you like Kelly Link? I think I will try Widdershins, which I looked at at the bookstore (but didn't buy!).Becky Holmeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14312649753514924823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959297.post-1151329180601302062006-06-26T09:39:00.000-04:002006-06-26T09:39:00.000-04:00I thought Widdershins was one of de Lint's best - ...I thought Widdershins was one of de Lint's best - I've been a fan for a long time though and was delighted to see the story of Jilly and Geordie reach this stage. (Also really liked the story about war and the buffalo people). I interviewed de Lint for Bookslut this month, he's really a cool guy. (And the LKHamilton arrived in ARC form after I left home to go visit family - I am absurdly excited to know it is waiting for me. I'm like you though, why is long hair and violet eyes so alluring?)Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18380722344521975869noreply@blogger.com
