I'm also looking for hardcover copies of Sarah Monette's Melusine, The Virtu, The Mirador and Corambis along with Jim Butcher's hardcover novellette, Backup.
A couple rarer OOP books I'm interested in are Polymorph by Scott Westerfeld ... #74 - if you do end up continuing the series, The Mirador has scads of Mildmay and relatively little Felix.
#76 - I read The Invisible Ring this weekend. I enjoyed it, but not as much as the rest of the series. I'm reading Tangled Webs right now, and I can see why you describe it as iffy. ... I'm still in the city of Melusine, specifically in The Mirador now.

I'm currently reading Sarah Monette's The Mirador. After this I have only one book left before I have to resort to e-books (I don't really like reading off my laptop). I finished The Mirador this evening and plan to start Corambis tomorrow. I've got so much invested in these characters now that I almost don't want to read it. I don't want their story to be over. ... hard cover because my eyes are going bad fast and the actual text is usually larger.
Even though I was anxious to read The Mirador and the local book store had it in paperback I still made myself wait for it to come in hard cover from the library strictly because I knew I'd have an easier ... I rereading started The Mirador by Sarah Monette yesterday. My first time through, I didn't enjoy it as much as the first two, but I don't think I'll have that problem this time around. I am loving this book. >69 I thought that Felix actually had a lot less page time in The Mirador, with Mildmay and Mehitabel having much larger roles, or so it seemed to me.
I finished off Swordspoint last night and have moved on to Bone Crossed by Patricia Briggs. ... the way he switched back and forth from being considerate one second to oblivious the next. I don't know if I'll pick up The Mirador, although Mehitabel sounds like an interesting character. ... over a year and once I read it I had all three books read within the three weeks after (the lag was how long it took for The Mirador to come in from the library). I'm now waiting impatiently for Corambis to get here! I still can't figure out if Felix is a character I hate to love or I ... ... of the North by John Flanagan - horray! Now I can reread the series and whip on through my ARC of Book Six. (!!!!!)

7. ... ... gotten around to reading it yet.
I liked Sarah Monette's books about Felix amd Mildmay: Melusine, The Virtu and Mirador. Didn't at all care for her Companion to Wolves. I've read Mélusine, The Virtu and The Mirador and I know what you mean. They're a good series, though. A bit of dip in the last one, but Corambis is due out next year and, hopefully, the quality will come back up. Gack! Over two weeks since I posted. Let's see:
91) Future Washington, edited by Ernest Lilley.
92) The Mirador, by Sarah Monette.
93) The Sword-Edged Blonde, by Alex Bledsoe.
94) The Jasmine Moon Murder, by Laura Childs.
95) Stewards of the Flame, by Sylvia Louise ... Once again, I've left this for quite a while, so the order is a wild approximation.
82) The Mirador, by Sarah Monette.
83) To Hold Infinity, by John Meaney.
84) The Man with the Iron Heart, by Harry Turtledove.
85) Grimspace, by Ann Aquirre.
86) Seeds of Change, ... I've been on a Sarah Monette binge. Re-read Melusine in prep for The Virtu and The Mirador, which I polished off in quick succession (and enjoyed -- liked Melusine even better the 2nd time around). Now, I'm reading Companion to Wolves which she wrote with Elizabeth Bear. It's an ... ... Girls of the Apocalypse by Victor Gischler

The three by Sarah Monett ... 105. The Mirador by Sarah Monette - library, unfortunately
I enjoyed this a hell of a lot. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Monette excels at character, voice, and setting, and The Mirador has all three in abundance. I found this a readable, engaging book that I was ... I started The Mirador by Sarah Monette this morning. The third POV is throwing me off a bit, but I'm still enjoying it quite a lot. ... and some stuff came in for me at the library, so I've had to revise my short term TBR:

... books. I love Felix, but yes, his character IS quite difficult and self-destructive... I lose patience at times, but by The Mirador at least he's dealt with the immediate problems and just has to deal with himself and daily life (which is quite bad enough!)--so I found the last book to be ... ...

Empire of Ivory by N ... ... best attempts to be annoyed by Felix I've sort of warmed up to the messed up little bunny. I'm a bit more ambivalent about The Mirador (although Mehitabel Parr is a *wonderful* character and I adore her) but I imagine my doubts will be resolved when the final book comes out. ... got ahold of A Companion to Wolves and I really loved it. Very different from the Melusine series.
I also liked The Mirador better than the earlier books... I enjoyed knowing the characters--who are almost old friends now. It was great to see them dealing with life in the Mirador--w ... Hooray! Just started reading The Mirador. It is good so far, but then, I enjoyed the first two books, so that is to be expected... Sarah Monette's The Mirador was unquestionably the best this month, which isn't surprising, since it's the third instalment in one of my very favourite fantasy series.
