I'm reading Hellspark again; can't remember how many times I've read it since it was first published, back in the late '80s. It's one of my comfort books, along with Pride and Prejudice, The Witches of Karres, Cotillion, and The War for the Oaks.

So -- what are your comfort books?

I like Tamora Pierce, too! Especially her Wild Magic series, but her Lioness books, too--haven't read everything she's done.

I think I need to bookmark this romp--I can add to my reading list!

In the last 2 years she's put out two more in the Tortall novels, dealing with Alanna's oldest daughter, and this month has the new novel in the Magic Circle series.

I saw the "Protector of the Small" books, but have not read any of the circle ones--the ones with the name of the protagonist in each one?
