Uh oh, Robin Hobb's new book is coming out on Sept. 6. It's a new trilogy. I'm a bit afraid to read it, because it might have the same crack-like addictive qualities as her other series. And yet, it's so hard to tear myself away. Hmmm, maybe I'll reserve it at the library.

And this is a link for scheng, the cheesy romance novels about jewels are the Donovans series by Elizabeth Lowell. A fun read, although my friend cc says that they get kind of repetitive after a while.

Thanks to cc for the heads up on both of these items!
