What I find ironic is that had the current urban-fantasy boom come about 10 or 15 years ago, I'd have been all over it, because I was looking for that sort of stuff then. Now I'm trying hard to find books that are quest fantasy and most of what's out there is urban fantasy, contemporary fantasy, or Interesting Twists On [TM] books, none of which I really want to read right now. *exaggerated sigh*

I picked up my love of social history, especially Georgian and Victorian England, from my mother. XD
