Book #119 -- Charles deLint, Promises to Keep, 173 pages.

Finally, what I've wanted for years -- a little more detail on how Jilly got off the streets and managed to turn herself into the annoyingly cheerful, lovable thing she was when I first met her. I really liked having more of Jilly's backstory, seeing her meet all the people we know and love from the earlier Newford stories.

My copy is winging its way over here from the States... can't wait!

I have _got_ to remember to get this once I have money again. Did you see that he has a YA novel coming out in the spring from Firebird called Dingo? I gotta admit, I'm really curious as to what that one will be about. I still haven't read Widdershins either--need to get on that, maybe after I'm finished with Phillip Reeve's Mortal Engines series.

Nope, I missed hearing about Dingo. I'll have to look into it. Widdershins is good, but pretty traumatic too. I put off reading it for a long time.

I'm reading Little (Grrl) Lost right now, but that one is up next! I got them both on Saturday.
