That looks wonderful! I will keep watch for it here too. Have you also read any of Verlyn Flieger's books? Splintered Light is also fantastic.

I am working my way through this book, and then she has two others as well. I love reading Tolkien scholarship that helps me better appreciate his world.. and even better if it spawns a plot idea!

I understand book lust...and just now with no bookstores and no libraries, it's pretty bad.

[dreamflower]

I've heard about that one. It sounds wonderful as well.

[dreamflower]

Does sound good, doesn't it?

[dreamflower]

Not quite yet. Have some other things I have to deal with first. *sigh*

[dreamflower]

Me, too. 8-)
