This post is off-topic, but at least it's about books.... A month from now I plan on pre-ordering _Sethra Lavode_, and I need to spend $7 more to get free shipping, so I need to chose something cheap I really want to read. I thought I'd ask here for opinions, since several of you are on my Share the Love list, and there may be something here that you want too. If anyone else wants to be on that list, just say so (and everyone is welcome to put me on their list). My current choices: Bujold, _Curse of Chalion_ Butcher, _Fool Moon_ Dean, _The Hidden Land_ Murphy, _Cat Raise the Dead_ Unfortunately, the Bujold is the only one not in the middle of a series, and it's also the only one I've already read (that's not a coincidence), so I'm not in a hurry to get it. (I'll assume dd-b will recommend his wife's book and save him the trouble of posting.) Of course, I'll go through all this again in a couple months when I try to get free shipping for _A Hat Full of Sky_ (and I'll need $14 for that). --KG
