(Or even new series from authors I already like.)<\/p>\n<p>Then, today, I was in B&#038;N at lunch.  While browsing along the YA rack, I notice a book by Philip Pullman.  It mentions that it&#8217;s by the author of &#8220;The Tiger in the Well&#8221; and I think, &#8220;hey, I read a book called that.&#8221;  So I poke around and discover that it is, in fact, the same guy. ^^;;; Not that I&#8217;m surprised I never connected the two. a) One hardly expects an author of adult fantasy novels to write historical adventure\/romance which are almost certainly aimed at teenage girls. b) I mistakenly purchased book 3 of a trilogy (Tiger) and read it first.  Unfortunately that means I never did get book 1 or 2, as I already knew what happened in them.<\/p>\n<p>Still&#8230; I think I&#8217;ll have to move all of those books higher on my list.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear:both; padding-bottom: 0.25em;\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is not the first time I&#8217;ve heard of those Philip Pullman novels.
