Mercedes Lackey

I've been reading a lot of Mercedes Lackey recently. It all started when Raye-Jean loaned me The Last Herald-Mage trilogy, which got me completely hooked. She's written a ton of books, and the ones I've read are all set in the same world and centered around the country of Valdemar. Here's a list of the books I've read so far:

Heralds of Valdemar
Arrow of the Queen
Arrow's Flight
Arrow's Fall

Vows & Honor
The Oathbound
Oathbreakers

The Last Herald Mage Trilogy
Magic's Pawn
Magic's Promise
Magic's Price

The Mage Winds Trilogy
Winds of Fate
Winds of Change
Winds of Fury

Kerowyn's Tale
By the Sword

The Mage Wars
The Black Gryphon
The White Gryphon
The Silver Gryphon

Oathblood

The Mage Storms Trilogy
Storm Warning
Storm Rising
Storm Breaking

Owlflight
Owlsight
Owlknight

Brightly Burning (read this one yesterday)

Take a Thief (finished this one today)

Exile's Honor
Exile's Valor (these two I'm about to read)

I don't know if I'll try reading any of her non-Valdemar books (of which there are lots) or move on to something else. A lot will depend on what Raye-Jean has in her possession, I think.

In unrelated news, I got a 100% on my Spanish test (yay!), and I'm having dinner with Graham tomorrow to discuss his grand European adventure.

Quickie

Just a quick note so no one thinks I've fallen off the face of the planet. I just got back from a girls trip to the lake (girls = work friends Sarpong [and 2-year-old daughter Abigail], Malaika, Stephanie, Jennifer, and Rynn; lake = Stillhouse Hollow by Temple; reason = Malaika's goodbye party; house = Sarpong's parents). We left Wednesday night and got back this afternoon. It was very fun and involved lots of sun, water, a really nice house, girl talk and, well, you know, alcohol. I had a really good time. Other than that I've been busy with work at Cisco and the EAC and Spanish class (I had my first test on Wednesday). I got the first half of my vet school application, the part that goes to TMDSAS (Texas Medical & Dental Schools Application Service) and represents the majority of my application, submitted last Saturday. My goal is to have the other part, the supplemental app to A&M, in on Monday.

Other news...? Well, Graham's back from his European romp and I'm anxious to see him. The Aggies play SMU tomorrow. Matt's manager at work had her baby and he weighed almost 10.5 pounds. Oh, and "My Humps" by The Black Eyed Peas is a horrible horrible song that gets stuck in your head and won't get out.
