Ah, a whole place for books. I love books....Yay...Okay, on to why I'm posting.

Has anybody read any of Tamora Pierce's books?

I've read all the ones that I know of and own almost half too. I think my favorite characters of hers to date are Daine Sarrasri, George Cooper, and Aly Cooper. I like Sandry fa Toren and Briar Moss too. I'm like, an avid reader of her stuff. I've practically memorized the Lioness Quartet, which was the first series I read of hers.


The choice has been made. There's no looking back. I won't let up, back up, give up, or shut up. My focus clear. My path is straight. My God, reliable. I'm a disciple of Christ.

Gods plan is like the sun. its too big and bright to look at directly, and sometimes the rain clouds cover it, but sometimes the plan dapples through the clouds and we can see beautiful glimpses of what he has in store for us.

As far as I know I can only recall reading Trickster's Choice, thats the right title isn't it? 0.o ugh I forget so easily. But only because you were reading it and I just happened to see it at the library ^.^' The other titles seem familiar but I can't really say but I do plan on reading the others. Love fantasy and so far I love her work.
"Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream!
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
and things are not what they seem.
Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art; to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul."

I've read her Protector of the Small series. I liked it so much that I reccommended it to one of my friends, but I haven't gotten around to reading any of her other books yet. lol ^_^

I think I've read all of the Magic Circle quartet, and a couple of the Circle Opens. I like Briar myself.

I've only read the Lioness Quartet, but I completely enjoyed it.

Showed me two different streets.

The first showed me fame and fortune,

The second wishes to change my defeats.

I really reccommend the Immortals Quartet. All of them are awesome, but that one is my fave.

I read the Magic Circle quartet and the first book in the Circle Opens.

Her characters were fairly likable but I thought her discriptions of the magic was at times somewhat vague and hard to imagine in my head which annoyed me.

I never knew there were tamora pierce fans among us...she was the author that made me start writing...I read the Lionness quartet and the Immortals quartet when I was younger, as well as the first book of the Protector of the Small series. I plan on reading Trickster's Choice once it comes out on paperback (I'm cheap, I know)

I wouldn't really go by what other people say, Yeito, cuz on that effect, I can say that her other books totally rocked.

Trickster's Choice is an awesome read, PotBelliedCow. I loved it. Aly was a very dynamic character and so much fun to read about.

I love her books. I would have to say that the Lioness quartet is my favorite. I certainly prefer the Tortall books, probably because I read them first, although my friends all say I act like Tris from the circle ones. I'd certainly recomend them to anybody who likes fantasy.
