"Not Short. Concentrated." (Bujold Icons)

[ase]

Fourteen Bujold icons, including (gasp) a cover art icon. Please credit and comment (if you're not sure what I'm talking about, guidelines here) if you use these; I like seeing where these go, and how people use them. Constructive criticism always appreciated!

I'd like to take this opportunity to mention that Monday is International Pixel-Stained Wretch Day (see also ipstp) and encourage everyone to support the movement. Here, have an icon:



And on to the main show.
1 - 9 Vorkosigan universe; 2 and 3 are variations on a theme.
10 and 11 Chalionverse
12 - 14 Sharing Knife: Beguilement; may be considered spoilers.

You're welcome! Have fun with it.

BTW, everyone needs to read the Shards of Honor/Barrayar duology. I say this in the highly biased voice of someone who read it in her mid teens and may be a little insensible on the topic.

I shall have fun with it! And I do love to read, so I'm thinking it will almost certainly been read at some point.

it will almost certainly been read at some point.

Interesting phrasing. I wish I knew your likes better, so I could say the appropriate things. There's romance, and there's culture shock, and transparent prose wrapped around flashes of wit. Bujold is very readable, though I am less fond of her fantasy than her SF.

The reason I said that because I have just gone on a PaperbackSwap spree, and between those books and the ones I'd bought before at Half Price Books and not read, I'm swamped :P I'm a fast reader, but... oh my :D

As for my tastes, I believe some of her work was described to me as SF mixed with military, which appeals to me a lot because I'm into American history, particularly government, and particularly military. I don't go for straight fantasy, and I don't go for straight romance, but from what little prose I've absorbed from these icons *g* and the fact that you and azurelunatic are such fans, it really does seem like something I should check out. It sounds interesting, if nothing else!, and a big part of what i'm reading now is that it is all mostly the same old thing. Different is nice sometimes.
