About me A love of books was instilled in me at an early age, and a love of owning books was encouraged by my parents in a somewhat mercenary manner--they would absorb half the cost of any book I bought, making my allowance last that much longer.

For the most part I read fantasy and science fiction, but I'll give anything that looks interesting (or comes to me highly recommended) a try.

About my library Due to unfortunate space constraints, a large portion of my library is tucked away in the attic, and I have yet to be able to accurately catalog those titles. Thus, the bulk of the titles I currently have listed here are more recent acquisitions (or books I know I have for certain sure). One of these days I'll have an accurate listing of the books I own.

Thanks so much for you help on Segur's Snow Queen. I am going to continue looking for a copy of the newer version now that I know it is out there. It's funny - you can find dozens and dozens of the 1961 version on used book sites, but not a single newer copy except for two on amazon.uk that are ridiculously priced (they are more than $500!! I am willing to pay up to $150 or so, because I really want a copy with newer and nicer illustrations, but I could never go that high.

Hi, I notice you have a copy of Adrienne Segur's Snow Queen. I was wondering: is your copy a 2001 reprint or the 1961 version? I ask because I want to buy myself a copy, but I think I would prefer the more recent, 2001, version and yet I can find it absolutely nowhere, not a single used book store sells it. I have begun to suspect it was never published in 2001, but perhaps only intended to be published. It's hard for me to believe there aren't any used copies out there. So I thought I'd ask those on librarything who have one which copy they have. If no one has the 2001 version, it would make the case stronger and I would just order the older copy. Thanks for your help. Sorry to go on so long....Cindy

So jealous about your large collection!

I'm told www.bookworm.com.au will ship internationally, otherwise, Australian ebay bookshops will probably sell some to you. No. 3 is The Icebound Land, no. 4 is Oakleaf Bearers (or The Battle for Skandia), no. 5 is The Sorcerer in the North, no. 6 is the Siege of Macindaw, and no. 7 is Erak's Ransom, which only came out last week.

I'm so impressed at you having two (of my favourite) Australian authors on your favourite author list, and mentioning a third (John Flanagan) in a recommendation, and not living in Australia. Did you know we're up to book seven in Ranger's Apprentice here?

Thanks for letting me know. I hadn't been paying attention to the ups and downs of From Far Away. Perhaps a disambiguation notice on the author wouldn't be amiss, though I probably wouldn't have seen that.

I get the feeling I'll be having a similar battle with the new Parasyte printing from Del Rey. I'll have to check, but I swear that Del Rey is putting in more chapters per volume than Tokyopop did for the first editions.
