I read a little Robin McKinley but never quite got into her; I think I missed Tamora Pierce entirely. I guess I'm mostly thinking of Mercedes Lackey, Anne McCaffrey, Marion Zimmer Bradley (though I only read a couple of her things)...I must have read others, it feels like more of An Era than that, but I can't think of who else. I guess Patricia Wrede but I really only read one thing of hers.
The thing is, the nostalgia factor seems to be working against rather than for Uprooted, in my case. I'm reading it from the perspective of someone who read those books in that era and then moved on as the times moved on and I got older -- they're part of my history more than part of my present existence. I can't read Uprooted as though I were a teenager, but it's weird to feel as if I were going back and re-reading the books of my childhood when it's a new-to-me book.
