... and a decree went out from Fivemack, that all books were to be counted

Hmm. I've noticed a few gaps in my bookcase, and I can't quite remember to whom I've lent what.

[livejournal.com profile] cartesiandaemon has my copies of "The Well of Ascension" and "The Hero of Ages"

[livejournal.com profile] ceb has the two Cat Valente books

[livejournal.com profile] pseudomonas has quite a lot of books and I didn't keep a record of exactly which; certainly includes "Red Seas Under Red Skies" and "Snake Agent".

Somebody must have my Sarah Monette books, but I'm not sure who.

I ought to lend [livejournal.com profile] hilarityallen "Dragonfly Falling", the second volume of "Empire in Black and Gold"

In the other direction, I have and have read [livejournal.com profile] naath's "Glorifying Terrorism" and [livejournal.com profile] despotliz's "The Graveyard Book" and "The Gone-Away World"; I have and have not read Jon Amery's "The Twilight Watch" and Liz's "The Fortress of Solitude".

If you have borrowed books from me, or have lent me books which aren't on my list, would you mind leaving a comment?

Ah, yes - Swordspoint and The Privilege of the Sword.

You can keep those two, if you want them, or if you give them back to me they'll probably go to Oxfam; I found them unexcitingly hard going. I suppose if I want Georgette Heyer there's an awful lot of actual Georgette Heyer, and I prefer real Regency to wizard-enhanced artificial Regency substitute.

I didn't get very far into Swordspoint before I gave up, and I have so many other things to read it seems unlikely I will give it another go. I'll see if I can find an appreciative home for them.

We should probably do a swap back at some point - I don't think I'm going to read the Monettes, and I could do with The Graveyard Book back at some point.
