Chatterbox: Blab About Books
What's in your To Be Read Pile (TBRP)?
I always have a pile of books I am soon going to read, and having gone to the library this morning, it has grown quite large. Here is the list of all the books I checked out:
A Hidden Magic, by Vivian Vande Velde
So You Want to Be a Wizard, by Diane Duane
Unexpected Magic: Collected Stories, by Diana Wynne Jones
The Princess and the Hound, by Mette Ivie Harrison
Lady Macbeth's Daughter, by Lisa Klein
Dragon's Heart (Pit Dragon Chronicles, Book Four), by Jane Yolen
The Wand in the Word: Conversations with Writers of Fantasy, compiled & edited by Leonard S. Marcus
The President's Daughter, by Ellen Emerson White
Ranger's Apprentice Book Six: The Siege of Macindaw, and Book Seven: Erak's Ransom by John Flanagan
So there it is. As you can see, I mostly read fantasy. Anyone read any of these books/authors/series? What did you think? And, most importantly, what's in your TBRP?

Yes, I admit Thouroughbred can get a little cliche at times, but it has horses, so I like it anyway. :P

If You're Reading This It's Too Late, by Pseudonomous Bosch. Yes, I've read this before. Yes, I'm reading it again. I admit it.
Ice, by Sarah Beth Durst. A retelling of East of the Sun and West of the Moon. That's my favorite fairy tale, so I always jump for books about it.
The Pinhoe Egg, by DWJ.
Snow White and Rose Red, by Patricia C. Wrede.
The Squire's Quest, by Gerald Morris. Latest in the Squire's Tales series. I didn't know about it, just discovered it today at the library. I love that series.
The City of Ember, by Jeanne DuPrau. People have been telling me I should read it.
The Dragon Princess, by E.D. Baker. Frog Princess series.
The Light Fantastic, by Terry Pratchett. I decided to try some Discworld besides the Tiffany Aching books. I don't know if this is a good starting place, but it was the earliest in the series that I could find.
The Wild Girls, by Pat Murphy.
The Wizard's Dilemma, by Diane Duane, and I'm currently reading the one before it, A Wizard Abroad.
