I'm not really shy, at least not in general, so that probably wasn't it. Now I'm really curious to know what I said at Verla's that was so surprising!
And I am indeed truly surprised by your #1! Though I've found that the lines between YA and adult fiction sometimes get blurred, and books which were originally marketed as adult get re-released as MG or YA (like Patricia Wrede's Sorcery and Cecilia, for instance, or some of Robin McKinley's stuff). So we may have read some of the same books that I think of as adult fantasy. Maybe.
