I'm surprised that you have the same issues in Canada with her books, I suppose I thought she would be more widely available there than here. How odd.

Craziness that libraries don't appreciate her more!

It seems most library services have either just one book by her, or none!<br /><br />My library also has no books by Craig Johnson, the ones I've read I bought. The later books are quite dear on Amazon (£9 plus) so I'm getting them slightly cheaper on AM. None of them are on Kindle as yet. Another author who is strangely unknown in this country.<br /><br />Pat: LOL. No worries. I just discovered I couldn't spell Australia... ;-)))))<br />Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-16536438761931066152013-06-19T12:31:54.436+01:002013-06-19T12:31:54.436+01:00forgot to unscrew my head.. it's the Riddlemas...forgot to unscrew my head.. it's the Riddlemaster of Hed trilogy that was made into a tv movie ..don't mind me when I comment too early in the morning! lolDesLilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02582481597658080464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-72679770268277786842013-06-19T06:42:33.390+01:002013-06-19T06:42:33.390+01:00Well done with the Once Upon a Time challenge, Cat...Well done with the Once Upon a Time challenge, Cath! This book definitely appeals to me.<br /><br />My library service has just one by McKillip - Ombria in Shadow in the Junior Section. <br /><br />Going back to your previous post, my library has no copies at all of books by Craig Johnson - so you're doing well in finding 'hard to get' books, at least as far as the library service is involved!Margaret @ BooksPleasehttp://www.booksplease.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-58456601191961599082013-06-18T10:56:21.427+01:002013-06-18T10:56:21.427+01:00Pat: The Forgotten Beasts of Eld is the famous one...Pat: The Forgotten Beasts of Eld is the famous one I think... I suppose if it was made into a TV movie that would bear that out. But really she isn't well known over here. I probably only know her because I've read about her in the blogging world.<br /><br />Sam: I keep seeing good things about her too, presumably we both read a lot of American and Canadian blogs. LOL. I'll look out for your review of Winterrose if you do one.<br /><br />Yvonne: Thanks for your kind words. To be honest, I suspect this would be a fantasy book you could read and enjoy. Others I wouldn't recommend but this is a very gentle story, beautifully told.<br /><br />I think I must have bought this on Amazon but am not sure. It's possible I found it in Waterstones as they are now starting to stock a few North American authors.<br /><br />Kiirtsin: Thanks so much for the rec. I was wondering which of her other books were similar and might be good to read. I will also make a note of the Riddle-Master series as Pat also mentioned that.<br /><br />Deb: The book is exactly that, a really gentle summer read. <br />Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-64680956848959112342013-06-18T03:31:05.300+01:002013-06-18T03:31:05.300+01:00I've never heard of this author, but magic, my...I've never heard of this author, but magic, mystery, and romance sounds like a fun summer read.Deb Atwoodhttp://www.debatwood.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-19490395107293823202013-06-18T02:32:56.753+01:002013-06-18T02:32:56.753+01:00If you ever need a short read with many of the sam...If you ever need a short read with many of the same elements as this one, try McKillip's <i>The Changeling Sea</i> if you can get a hold of it. It's my favourite of her books, though I adore the Riddle-Master trilogy, too. <br /><br />Loved the review, glad you liked the book so much!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10330550798080469047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-2731070610943449412013-06-17T22:25:43.649+01:002013-06-17T22:25:43.649+01:00Hi Cath,

It was so eloquent that you nearly convinced me that I needed to read it for myself!<br /><br />Some of the McKillip books are not too badly priced on Amazon.co.uk, but I guess that the cost of postage can make them quite expensive overall. I hope that you manage to source some of them very soon, as you so obviously enjoy her style of writing.<br /><br />YvonneYvonne @ Fiction Books Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821114534056290177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-65801158186796365322013-06-17T20:46:06.737+01:002013-06-17T20:46:06.737+01:00It is a shame it's so hard to get hold of McKi...It is a shame it's so hard to get hold of McKillip's books here in the UK as I keep seeing good things about her everywhere on blogs. My library is a bit better than yours, I've been able to get hold of Winterrose, which I'll be reading in the next few weeks.Sam (Tiny Library)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16375434438465319913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-54408017242754696682013-06-17T12:41:02.316+01:002013-06-17T12:41:02.316+01:00the only books I've read by Patricia McKillip ...the only books I've read by Patricia McKillip was "eons" ago called The Riddle Master of Hed series... oh wait! I did read one other The Forgotten BEasts of Eld. They were eventually made into a tv movie. I hope you get to find more by McKillip . She has lots of books out and Other than the Riddlemaster Trilogy I wonder if others belong in a "series"? Oh well.. I am glad you enjoyed this book..happy that it made it across the pond! If only the mail service would allow us to afford to ship books I am sure MORE would find their way there!<br />DesLilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02582481597658080464noreply@blogger.com
