  • Wizard's Holiday?

    Um, I'm confused? What is this _Wizard's Holiday_ Diane mentions in her weblog? Anyone got the info? I thought that the one was supposed to be _The Wizard's Challenge?_ ( I thought I remembered Diane mentioning that on Google?)

    Hee! I like _Wizard's Holiday_ title better though....for many, many reasons. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]

    I googled the usenet archives, and as of two years ago the titles after A Wizard Alone were

    <LI>Wizards' Crossings
    <LI>Wizards' Holiday
    <LI>Wizard's Challenge
    <LI>Wizards in Transit
    <LI>The Wizards' Knot


    (Isn't it nice to know that Diane has a Plan for the series? It lets her do nifty arcs and foreshadowing and stuff. Not to mention soothing the withdrawl pangs after finishing the lastest book. "It's over- but there's more coming!")

    Some of the titles, though, are very interesting. Wizards' Holiday, for example, sounds like it's not going to be much of a holiday at all. (Echoes of a "Busman's Holiday"- bonus points to anyone who can name the reference. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img])

      If you're thinking of "Busman's Honeymoon", I thought of that too. :-)

        I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but I think it's in The Book of Night With Moon. Kit asks Rhiow if she travels much, working with gates and she says no, last time she got a vacation she ended up fixing a gate on Rirhath B, and one or the other comments "Wizard's holiday." I'd look it up and be more exact but I don't have the book with me.

          Garrett- yes, that's what I had in mind. Same vibe of "we're taking a bit of a break... fixing things in an entirely unprecented location." [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]

          Hopefully, it'll be somewhere offplanet, at least.

            ot question...
            i've heard that there is actually a published book of night with moon, and, apparently, i heard right. i can't seem to find it anywhere, though--do you have to order it online, or something?

              Ginny,

              There is indeed such a book and it is/was sold in bookstores.

              Book of Night with Moon

                    I don't think you have to go all the way to Amazon.com to get The Book Of Night With Moon my mom is also a freak someone is going to hack into our computer so I can't go onto Amazon but I got my book of Night..At Borders i dunno if that is any help.
