Congrats to the winners and to all the nominees :) And thank you for the heads up Kristen!

And I'm embarrassed to admit I haven't read an Ursula Le Guin book since The Earthsea quartet. Guess what I'll be hunting up at the library this afternoon?

Orannia - I haven't read that much by Ursula LeGuin, either - just the original Earthsea trilogy and The Telling. That's something I'll have to remedy at some point starting with The Left Hand of Darkness.
