While were on the subject of books, I signed up for the Amazon Associates club, which means that if you click on any of the book images or links (in the book portion of the site<\/a>), they’ll take you to Amazon, and if you buy that book, I’ll get a few pennies towards an Amazon gift certificate. I don’t yet have links for everything, but I’m getting there.<\/p>\n

The King’s Peace<\/em> (2000) and The King’s Name<\/em> (2001) by Jo Walton<\/p>\n

In actuality, there are really three books in two. The first book, The King’s Peace is actually two books, “The King’s Peace” and “The Kings Law” which are just a little shorter than the second book, The King’s Name.<\/p>\n

The tale is a history of a world that is similar to, but not exactly, the British Isles, so there is a sense of familiarity, without actually being something real.<\/p>\n

A Stitch in Time<\/em> (2000) Andrew J. Robinson<\/p>\n

Okay, before you say anything, I admit it, this is a Star Trek book. And I don’t even have the excuse of it being a movie novelization.<\/p>\n

All I can say is that Garak is my absolute favorite DS9 character, and I felt that they never did as much with him as they could–everything you learned just left you with more questions. So when I read that Andrew Robinson, the actor who had played Garak, wrote a book telling the backstory he had created for Garak… well, I’m a sucker. <\/p>\n

Good Omens<\/em> (1990) Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett<\/p>\n

Good Omens is one of my all time favorite books, and one that I’d take with me to be stranded on a desert island, because it’s funny.<\/p>\n

Really funny.<\/p>\n

With lots of passages that make me giggle, and even laugh out loud, not just when I read them, but even when I go back and think about them later. <\/p>\n
