Yes that was my thoughts, its amazing just how much different it is when you have big people in the room LOL

The same thing happens to me! I used to be a pretty quiet person. Now I'm home all day with my baby and no one else to talk to. When I see other people I can't seem to shut up.
That's why I love this group, it helps me feel "connected to other adults.
I wish i was really chatty. My friends and I just talk about like school and sats and books and stuff like that
sometimes you just have to talk even if no one is listening LOL or I do at any rate ummm maybe I should say that to load they may take me to the nutty house LOL
Hahaha. I just find myself going.. wow you are just CHATTY! I was home the other night and could not stop talking to my family, even though they were doing other things at the same time.
I love you talk so you could never annoy me but I understand what you mean I drive my family crazy when the kids ain't there because I mean come on I don't have adult conversation that much and I don't know how to act LOL
I feel like I grew up pretty fast even without kids. I find that since I started working in a school, I've become more outgoing and talkative as well.. which makes me think I annoy people, because I'm not used to being so yappy.

I try to make sure that I keep myself in a young state of mind LOL its hard when you have a lot of little kids around so that you have be an adult all the time LOL

16 is a good age, I wouldn't mind to be that young again but I have to say I have my youngest son convinced that I am 21 LOL my oldest just busted the bubble when he says no your not your 27 mom LOL, I see no point in him killing my fantasy LOL
oh Kristen you are being a bad girl I see LOL yes you need to go Monday and get it LOL although I have to say I don't think any of them will beat poison study at least to me anyway.
*looks around sheepishly* Gah! I didn't get it from the library like I meant to! That was my mission for this weekend! *gasp* I'll have to go on Monday now!

yes that is me and I just bought a collectors book on harry potter and the half blooded prince and I already have that book LOL it was on sale and I couldn't say no.
I missed something who hasn't read Fire Study yet?
OMG you didn't read fire study yet!!!!!! haha but its weird because like people who would buy Harry Potter probably already bought all of the individual books already
Yes and I think that is just wrong because I would probably but the box set just because I love this series so much
Alright, you're right.. I haven't read the last one, so you're right. End of discussion now. No hardcover. But the point is that the box set usually doesn't come out until they know it will sell..meaning a decent amount of time after the third book is released.
I thought only poison study and magic study were hardcovers because if you go on her site under hardcovers fire study isn't listed
Thu wrote: "wait i thought the only fire study version out was paperback. "
I thought it was only in paperback to I haven't seen it in hardcover. Where can we find it does anyone know?
Hm. I have no clue. Aren't I horrible? You'd have to wait probably a year or two after this last book is out before they create a box set.
Probably not yet, since Fire study is still in hardcover right? That is also something that is up to the publisher I think, is whether to release the books in a box set.
I don't really see much difference in the price, sometimes you can get them cheaper in box sets but most of the time you can get the individuals on sale, and I have not scene a study series box set yet.
Is there a box set for the study series? because at my book store they only sell the books individually.
I haven't looked into it myself... there might be a slight difference. I'd probably compare that before buying a box set.
Yeah waiting for books is annoying. When they sell books in a series like the whole series is it a lot cheaper than buying the individual books? or is it pretty much the same?
yes they could I mean they are all done in where ever there out in I forgot so why couldn't they print all and sell in like a box series or something
It's horrible... They could have released all three within a few months if they had planned it right.
I mean, they're slated for publication, so that's not the problem. It's just that they are "Americanizing" the books, so there is probably some editing and cover work and whatnot getting done. I hate to bug him about a book that probably has a set publication date and we can do nothing about it.
Maybe someone should email him and ask. I'm always hesitant in emailing authors. It took a lot of debating when I emailed Maria.
ummm why would they do a book seven that should have been a book 4 1/2? I really dont understand when they do that.
Ranger's Apprentice is written in Australia, and it cannot be purchased through the publisher... I've tried. You can order them through Amazon, but the shipping is really expensive.I haven't read bk 5 yet because I knew that it was going to end at a cliffhanger. I read on John Flanagan's website that 5 and 6 were together, while #7 is sort of standalone which actually takes place after #4 and before #5. It's really confusing.
what is it not long enough.... how about now is that long enough? hahaha I seriously I guess I will wait until they actually do come out here
Hahaha. You can order them from the UK probably.. but it'll cost double the book price to get it shipped to you.
WOW I did not know that, hmmmmm maybe we should hunt author down and have him bring them personly to us HEHE
I think there's two more coming. THe whole series is published in the UK. Has been for almost a year or two.
