Silver on the Tree was my favorite, and I have a beat-to-hell, but still intact copy if you'd care to borrow it. I always feel like I should be at the library more (I went frequently when I was pregnant with Stella, and I have a fine for some late returns that is only slightly older than she is). It also doesn't help that I have yet to have a positive experience with any of the staff at the RP library (except, of course, Renuka the teacher/tutor). But the inter-library load turnaround wasn't bad, and it's a nice facility. Enjoy your reading! The Dark is Rising series continues to be an old standby favorite of mine.

I keep planning on getting Eldest out of our library, but every time I go in someone else has it out, and I never can remember to request them to hold it. Oh well. I vaguely remember reading The Amulet of Samarkand when I was pregnant with Bug, but I don't remember if I liked it or not. I think I was in the midst of morning sickness at the time. My reading list right now is either Russian or Welsh history, Knowing God by JI Packer, and whatever good fiction I find in the fantasy or mystery or children's section of the library!
