Location: Austria		My gems were "The Drowning Girl" by Caitln R. Kiernan, "Midnight Robber" by Nalo Hopkinson" and Margo Lanagan's "Tender Morsels" - I didn't expect too much from any of them and they all blew me away. Nalo Hopkinson in particular, because of what she does with language. I finished her book weeks ago and it seems to be one of those that only grow in esteem after you've put them down. I'm already itching to read more by her.
That's the danger of this challenge: You discover a new writer and immediately want to read their entire back catalogue. But that keeps you from continuing the challenge. My TBR has grown so much, it's ridiculous.

"Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell" is a brilliant (and huge!) book. Can't wait for the miniseries to come out - or for Susanna Clarke to finally write another book.
