Lois McMaster Bujold:
There are certain authors that I will immediately order/preorder their new book, but will then save said book to read as a reward or to consume in pure happiness because I know the writing, plot, world-building, etc are top notch and will not disappoint. You, T. Kingfisher, Alma T.C. Boykin, James Benn, (Terry Pratchett, alas) are some of my very favorites. Are there authors or series about which you feel similarly?
Lois McMaster Bujold
Well, I'm hanging on to the last Pratchett, though not because I think it will make me happy, but because I suspect it will make me sad.
At the moment, I'm mostly going on to the next whatever because it has sustained my curiosity, at least for a time. But otherwise it's been browsing the infinite entertainment smorgasbord and mostly not finding the next gripping thing. Temporarily amusing, yes, I have found that.
The things I've most gotten into lately have all been finished works. The Asian live-action fantasy TV shows The Untamed and Hotel Del Luna (both on Netflix) have been the biggest recent hits. Also recently found (on Rakuten Viki) worth mention is the 3-D animation The Island of Siliang, unfinished at present. Astounding production quality. I'd be ecstatic to have any work of mine done so well in that medium.

Ah finally, able to converse. I hope there isn't a letter cap...spoilers there is >:) I don't know this website very well is there a better way to message you directly? If not long story cut VERY SHORT...I finished reading Cordelia's Honor at 6amCST this morning before going to bed. I laughed, I cried, I contemplated my own mortality and called family, and I am very grateful the rest of your books are in the back.

If Miles were ever put to screen would you prefer it done as live action or anime?

Following you on Goodreads I just bought Gentleman Joe and the Red Queen (a Baen Books Original First printing, February 2016, very beautiful book).
On page 19 I read "I knew Aral was bisexual when I married him". This information does not correspond at all to what you have written since Cordelia's Honor and Barrayar ?
