My sister turned me into a fantasy junkie before I even started elementary school. She would read me bedtime stories from Andrew Lang's fairy books and read me expurgated versions of comic books (mainly X-Men and Amethyst, Princess of the Gemworld). By the time she read me Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones, I was completely hooked. During elementary school, I read all the Diana Wynne Jones I could find as well as Robin McKinley, Patricia McKillip, Madeleine L'Engle (only her science fiction), and Anne McCaffrey.

I just finished Bound in Blood by P.C. Hodgell and Entwined by Heather Dixon, and I really liked them both. I don't know many people who read Hodgell, but I would highly recommend it. Now I'm reading one of the Black Company books by Glen cook.

I'm also coming over from TWG, where I've been for a very long time, since I met Brandon and Dan originally at The Leading Edge at BYU. Currently, I'm a member of their writing group. I'm really sad to see TWG go, but I just have to remind myself that change is good.
