So, yesterday I went to the bookstore....

And Conrad's Fate was out! The new Chrestomanci book? I didn't buy it. As a rule, I don't buy hardcover. They're more expensive and cumbersome, plus they mess with the neat "all paperback" thing I've got going on. However, in this case, I didn't buy Conrad's Fate because I was busy buying a different new release - the new Hilari Bell book.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I really really love this author. I spent no less than five minutes directing somebody in the bookstore towards her books, talking all about how much I love this author.

She needs more love, and a scary fandom. Everybody else gets that, so why not Hilari Bell? Please. Go off. Read the Farsala trilogy. Read any of her books. I implore thee.

My library carries Wizard Test, The Goblin Wood, and A Matter of Profit.

Is this a trilogy or random books or parts of a trilogy?

Three random books. She does have a trilogy in progress (it's only up to the second book), but your library doesn't carry any of them, apparently.

However, I'd still greatly advise A Matter of Profit. Aside from one annoyingly wince-inducing part involving T'Chin and T'chin and lowercase letters, it was a wonder.

Those are the three my library carries, so I'll probably start there before actually spending money :)
