I will probably go back to Chelsea Quinn Yarbro's St. Germaine books now that I'm done with the Eddings series.
Okay, for the Jean Auel fans who haven't read the final book in the series, Land of Painted Caves, I would ALmost say don't bother!!! 
It's pretty lousy! If I had the patience, I'd go back and count how many times she describes how Ayla makes tea, or how Ayla ended up with her accent, or every minute detail of every single painted cave in France, and any of I don't know HOW many subjects she goes over and over and over ad nauseum!! The repetition is mind-boggling!!
I found a couple of websites for fans of hers and of the series and the majority of fans of the series were disgusted with it! If you'd like a better version of some of it, go to ecfans.com to the fan fiction section and read some of those, particularly by avmoran. DESperately needs a good proofreader, and definitely needs an editor, but WOW can she tell a story! And she writes about all that stuff that Auel didn't, i.e. Durc and his life with the clan, Danug and his journey to visit Ayla.... I loved them -- you might, too!

Hello, Seen this thread and absolutely had to say something... or yell it at the top of my lungs.
I LOVE READING!!!! almost to the point of insanity. I own over 500 paperback and hardback... and over 3000 e-books, no lies.
Romance, fantasy, only one King novel(The Green Mile), Mystery, Horror, Some Sci-fi, Swan Song by Robert R. McCammon (Should be made into a movie{it's that good}) Goodness too many more to mention that I like. It's nice that I happened across the Women's Room.

Hi in here Celti. I've read lots and lots of Stephen King books. I've served him through the drive through window at McDonalds, seen him at University of Maine baseball games, and driven past his house probably hundreds of times. No, I'm not a stalker, I used to live in the same area of Bangor that he does, LOL.
Welcome to the Women's Room! Do you like chocolate too?

Wow that's really cool. Only met one author in my life, Bruce Coville, who wrote the Unicorn Chronicles and My teacher is an Alien series.
He came to my elementary school and I thought I was so cool because I had read his books before he came.

Nice to meet you too! Sorry If I take so long to reply I've been lurking on the cute pictures thread, I'm on page 129... almost there
That's like an hour or so from here, course I am way in the sticks. I used to live in Paulding County, Ga. Boy was that a switch!!

Moving to Alabama is always a switch.... it's a place unto itself There are vapemeets in huntsville and birmingham every couple of months - there's a link in my signature to the Alabama vaper subforum if you're interested
...and after you get done with the cute picture thread, there's the pet thread, and the crafts thread ....

I'm addicted to the women's room too, LOL. I rarely go anywhere else in the forum anymore. Now and then I'll pop into the KR808 thread to see if there's any new equipment I'm interested in, but I'm perfectly content with my setup and my juice now, and have been for about a year. But I love the chat thread and the cute pictures thread and of course the cat thread (I mean the pets thread, LOL). Now I think of it more as the Arka and Azamet thread. I'm in love with someone else's pets, LOL.
I grew up with 7 cats... when I moved away I left my cat with my mom because of all the dogs (about 12 or so at the time). I started getting allergies to cats and every time I visit my mama I have take allergy meds and wash the sheets and stuff(it's bad). My kitty, Jazzy is so mean... now I just give her a quick pet then get quickly away(her claws are super sharp!!) and my allergies don't flare up. But I still love the little furballs even if I can't live with them again. Now my little bundle of joy is a chihuahua/ boston terrier mix(mostly boston terrier) named Bruno. I'll post him in the pet thread soon, just gotta catch up everywhere first.

Celti, sorry your allergies keep you from having cats! I've always known I was allergic to them, but having one or two wasn't that big a problem. Now we have seven, I'm stuffed up most of the time but it's really not too bad. The only time I've had an issue was this past spring when I got bronchitis and my asthma got out of control. I think it was the combination of the allergies and the bronchitis that was just too much for me. But I'm fine now, just sneeze now and then
Mine get so bad I can barely see... and the theres the runny nose just too gruesome It does make me sad plus my fiance isn't a cat person. And I'm afraid my dogs would eat the poor dears.

Okay, back to bookworming, (I didn't mean to hijack the thread) I am actually in the process of editing my first book(I didn't write it though). I have to start back Monday, as I was without a computer for about a month a half. It is a collection of short stories about the southern point of view during the Civil War(Fiction). Boy, is this some hard work, Grammar errors everywhere!!!
