Yes. Okay, you all were right. Jemisin is an awesome writer and I should have started reading her a long time ago.

New foster arrived last Friday. He's a dote, typical farm collie type. Think Rex in Babe, only in better humour. Only ever wants to be petted, so if you know someone (in Ireland) who'd love a dog that likes a good head scratchin' then get in touch.

@storytam I LOVE her Jaran series. It is feels like a Heyer style romance, but in a sci-fi setting, and with a Genghis Khan style hero.
Word of warning, there are four books (I think) but the series is not yet finished. Really looking forward to her sci-fi version of Alexander

@storytam I need to finish that series! I started reading it soooo many years ago when I had no money and was dependent on the library, only it had no money either and never got in the whole series. But I've read and loved so much Elliot since then.
