Rereading for fun and profit

[bibliogramma]

Well, maybe not for profit. But there are a good many books that I like to reread for fun. They are comfortable old friends, and depending on my mood, I can pick sonething that I know is absolutely going to hit whatever spot needs hitting.

When I'm sick and depressed and cranky - which is a state that hsppens every once in a whike to most peoole with chronic illness - one of the authors I turn to for sonething that will soothe but not challenge me is Mercedes Lackey, and her Valdemar books in particular. They are full of spunky women (and a few men - Vanyel being one of my favourites) who face all sorts of obstacles, but always manage to get through whatever is blocking their way, and get the job done. That lifts my spirits.

I had one of those spells earlier this year, and while I was caught in the middle of it. I read a bunch of Mercedes Lackey books:

Magic's Pawn
Magic's Promise
Magic's Price

Winds of Fate
Winds of Change
Winds of Fury

Storm Warning
Storm Rising
Storm Breaking
