I've only just realised (sorry) that I forgot to include in the September Update the books I'm looking forward to reading in October:

* King of Sword and Sky (CL Wilson)



* The Magical Christmas Cat (anthology)



* Cast in Fury (Michelle Sagara)

I've been looking forward to all of these books so yes, it's going to be a busy month :)

The lovely Nalini Singh (http://www.nalinisingh.blogspot.com/) is hosting a contest to celebrate the upcoming release (2 September 2008) of the latest (fifth) book in the Psy-Changeling series: Hostage to Pleasure

What's up for grabs?

The winner, chosen at random, will receive a US$75 gift certificate from the online bookstore of their choice :)

What do you have to do to enter?

(a) Post on your blog, LiveJournal, MySpace, Facebook or website etc. your answer to at least one of the following questions:

* Which fictional hero (from books, TV, movies...) would you most like to hold hostage?

* Which fictional hero would you most like to be held hostage by?

* Which fictional world would you most like to be held hostage in?

(b) Link back to Nalini's weblog & mention the contest
(c) Post the cover of Hostage to Pleasure if possible; and
(d) Leave a comment at Nalini's weblog with a link to where you've posted your entry (if, for some reason, you can't comment, email the details to nalinisinghwrites@gmail.com) *NOTE: If you're leaving a Myspace link, please leave a link to your profile - the direct links to the blogs aren't working.
(e) Do all this before midnight September 5th, 2008, PST.

So, on with the questions (and my answers :)

* Which fictional hero (from books, tv, movies...) would you most like to hold hostage?
No one. I should explain: I'm not the sort to hold anyone hostage, and I would hate for someone to be forced into enduring my company when they would rather be anywhere else. Volunteering to be held hostage by me is, however, entirely another matter :)

* Which fictional hero would you most like to be held hostage by?
This has ended up as a tie between Nalini Singh's Lucas and Hawke, CL Wilson's Gaelen vel Serranis, Patricia Briggs' Bran Cornick, JR Ward's Lassiter and Anne Bishop's Daemon Sadi. Yes, I know....I can't make a decision. But they are all just so....[insert appropriate word here] *grin*
Amended to add Linda Howard's Zane Mackenzie.... :)

* Which fictional world would you most like to be held hostage in?
Unfortunately, this is also a tie: Nalini Singh's Psy-Changeling version of Earth, Mercedes Lackey's Valdemar and CL Wilson's Fading Lands. I'm also incredibly tempted by Anne's Bishop's Black Jewel world.
Amended to add: I think it would have to be the Psy-Changeling version of Earth (although I may be biased as I'm in the middle of reading Hostage to Pleasure :)
