Looks most interesting, and indirectly related to what I was researching this morning. (Also, it has a very pretty cover).

I will probably have to check it out. The topic's been on my mind a lot.

Thanks!

I think I shall have to check that one out and see if they're blowing any of my covers. Should be orderable via Borders, do you think?

I have no idea.

"Blowing any of your covers"?

[aureantes.livejournal.com]

Oh, anything specific I did way back when in various times...some of those titles sound as if the authors may have been delving (or fumbling) close to my past history, though again, there is an established common pool of "angel-fallen-sidhe" lore and teaching.

Well I'll know who to blame if anything rubs me the wrong way, then. ;)

*snickers* I assure you, I've always been strictly honourable in my interspecies entanglements.

I wonder whether it would tell me much that I don't already know. In any case, will add it to the list of things to watch for.

Indeed.... looks like tasty reading.
