Winterfair Gifts and some stories you wouldn't normally have bought
I admire your turn of phrase. I bought Irresistible Forces thinking 'Ah, a Bujold story and a chance to see whether some other authors I've heard of are my kind of thing!' but the only other story I really enjoyed was the Jennifer Roberson one, and I already knew that I liked some of the things Jennifer Roberson writes and was less keen on others, so it was all a bit of a wash-out from that point of view.
It just seemed like a genuinely odd choice of stories to bundle together - are there really that many people who like stories with an angel for a hero and cutesy descriptions of heaven and futuristics full of people ham-fistedly discussing Monty Python and stories set in the 1500s, as well as LMB?
