I cannot wait for The Pomegranate Gate to finally come off hold for me. I think I will need to also refresh my Guy Gavriel Kay in the meantime, so I am in the right mood. There's also a semi-recent Lois Lowry book in the period which I remember reading and respecting a couple years ago; perhaps that should go in the mix too. Oh, and brush up my Benbassa again… a reading project takes shape!
