Sorcery and Cecelia is one of my favorite books of all time. I just gave it to my niece :)

Have you read The Grand Tour yet (sequel)? It's supposed to be out in paperback here in a while.

Oh yes, I borrowed it from someone and it was a lot of fun :) I was so excited just to have a sequel after rereading the original so many times.

Sequel

It's not as good as the original but it's quite good. And of course there are Wrede's books set in the same universe. Its a toss up between Mairelion the Magician and Magician's Ward.
Have you read Elizabeth Marie Pope's _Perilous Gard_ and _Sherwood Ring_ ?
