![]() ![]() I reread it at least once a year, and I never tire of the overheated adventures of Jaenelle, Saetan, Daemon and an awful lot of other characters with "ae" somewhere in their echt-fantasy-novel names. I'm a fervent, if not unabashed, fan of Anne Bishop's Black Jewels trilogy. So bring the Cheetos and the cheap pink wine, because I'm about to bring the guilt (though let's not forget the pleasure). Except for Gary Shteyngart - dude, call me up and let's talk about Zardoz, because I think you might be my new best friend. Or fried chicken, but only from this one perfect stall in the Taipei night market - not actually guilty at all. ![]() It's like saying your guilty pleasure is '50s pulp novels, but only first editions. But here's the thing - I don't think it's nearly guilty enough. I love the My Guilty Pleasure series, I really do. Petra Mayer is an associate editor at NPR Books.
