favorite books
the hero and the crown by robin mckinley - only my favorite book of all time. i read it almost every year.
constance by patricia clapp - diary-style tale of plymouth settlement.
mr maybe by jane green - yes, i know, silly chick lit. i can't help myself, i just love the tone and pacing.
guilty pleasures by laurell k. hamilton - buffy for grown ups. the first is still the best.
