Oh, I like that selection! There are at least four on there that I have been intending to read at some point, so I'll be interested to hear what you think of things as you get through them.

And the Fionavar Tapestry! Yay. :)

I always go to the Save the Children Book Fair (which I am assuming is identical, but run by Save the Children, not Lifeline) on the first day, because I always get an awesome haul.
