Jennie and her sis have set up an unofficial website for Mary Stewart! I think it looks fantastic. I’ve never read any of Ms Stewart’s books before, but I really want to now. Any author that can inspire fans to set up a website like that has to be good
And how are you doing in the Dear Author / SBTB DABWAHA? At this very moment, I’m joint 22nd – which is my highest position so far! Yes, I know I’m tied with 11 others but let me savour the moment.
I’ve got Patricia Briggs’ “Blood Bound” as my Predicted Champion – she made it past Meljean Brook’s “Demon Angel” (that was a toughie) and is up against Colleen Gleason’s “The Rest Falls Away” in Round 3. Fingers crossed.
Yay! Thanks. Have you decided which Stewart you’re going to try?? :p
I played in the first DABWAHA, but did pretty badly and didn’t get around to making my picks for the second. It’s fun to watch it all, but I was torn between voting for what I actually wanted to win and voting for what I thought was mostly likely to win. There were quite a few where those two were different.
I’ve just ordered three from Abebooks – LOL. Touch Not the Cat, Thornyhold, and Rose Cottage. I’m such a sucker.
DABWAHA – Yep, totally know what you mean – sentiment v logic! I ended up picking a mixture of the two – looking at the results, I should have gone for the logical option every time.
Excellent choices on Stewart. Actually, I’d say that whichever books you picked.
But Thornyhold and TNtC are two of my faves. And now I sort of want to reread Rose Cottage, because I haven’t in years and years. It was her last book and it’s very sweet. Not exciting like her earlier suspense novels, but very nice.
Hmm… I’ll prob won’t start with Rose Cottage then. I used the summaries on your new website to help decide so thanks

What’s the DABWAHA?
La Plume – Follow the link! It’s basically a poll run by Dear Author and Smart Bitches Trashy Books (two good reader review sites – links on my blogroll down the right). To make it more interesting, they offered a chance for people to predict the winners – you’re awarded points based on how many correct winners you pick. Just a bit of fun
