Enjoy the reread! I’m very tempted to buy the nice new box set of the dragons books, even though I know that I don’t need them. But the box set is so boxy and nice, and I love the idea of box sets…

I just have to read Benson & Delafield. I have heard nothing but nice things about them. Thanks for your good wishes about grad school! I am making progress with the application business and hopefully will soon be shot of the whole application mess and on to the un-proactive waiting period.

Thanks for the advice – I definitely am getting as many people to look at my statement as I can. And I do miss school, and analyzing books without feeling like there were other things I should be doing, so I really hope this all works out. 🙂

Personal statements are a beast. I’ve finally finished a draft of mine and sent it to friends & relations for inspection. By the time I had reached the last paragraph I want to take the whole thing & rip it up & burn it. (Fortunately it was on the computer & not on paper.)

I LOVED Dealing with Dragons. I read some of the other fair tale books by Wrede but not too many. Time for a Dealing with Dragons reread, I’m thinking…thanks for reminding me how I loved it!

Thank you so much – I’m glad I mentioned this. Y’all are all so sweet & supportive. I will keep everyone posted. 🙂

Shame. Two of your least favorites. They couldn’t re-release The Raven Ring?

Oh, I know, isn’t it sweet? There are two sequels that were recently written, of which I’ve only read one (not that great, sadly), and my sister says the other, the third, is better but still not as good as Sorcery & Cecelia. I love letter books!
