Introduce yourself to the group
Very creative! I am not a very good artist. I can't even draw a straight line.

Missdevora, You definitely top the coolness scale by coming from Transylvania!! :) I'm with you on wishing it was summer all year round too. Though I think winter in Spain is somewhat different from winter in Scotland!Zeenat, I think I've only seen Viggo in one other movie, but I agree that the LotR look is what does it for me too!

I'm not sure how's winter in Scotland (Normally snows, right?)but here in the middle of the mediterranean in winter rains and the air is normally humid. Now in the mornings you need a jaCket and at 12 you can walk with a sleeveless shirt or top...crazy weater!
I think I've only seen Viggo in one other movie....In which one? Cause he has plenty...I also liked him in Alatriste and The Road.
Oh god I can't remember the name of the film, or even much of what it was about. I just remember he was clean shaven and he looked so different! I definitely prefer him looking grungier. :)
I liked him in Easten Promises... I really did!

He was good in "A History of Violence."

This description of the movie helps a lot. LOL
It's my usual attention to detail!! :D

2. Favorite series-- At the top Fever books and anything by Karen Chance. Also like Jeanine Frost, Katie MacAlister, Mercy Thompson series, Rachel Morgan series, Sookie Stackhouse, Eileen Wilks Lupi series, Nalini Singh series, Jane Yellowrock, just to name a few. Also love Deborah Harness All Soul's Triology. Have followed Karen Chance since her first Cassie book.
3.Don't have one
4.No one especially
5.Just one? Peach and coconut pie
6. Love to read. Really enjoy the urban fantasy series and world building. So interesting how so many common issues can be dealt with in another world and love the imaginative nature of these books. Really love to discuss plots and points of interest so that's why I joined this group.

Hey Cathy! Welcome along :)You've got some good choices in books. Will you be reading Iced at some point? I have the second Deborah Harkness book in my To Read pile, since it features a certain Christopher Marlowe (of whom I'm a big fan!!)
Hope you enjoy the group. You need to answer the really big questions now ... Do you prefer Cassie or Dory and are you Team Pritkin or Team Mircea?? (These are even more important than choice of dessert!)
I should actually add those questions to my initial post LOL!
As long as she's not team Dory - there's already too much competition! LOL!
We know Dory's all yours Duane ... well, as soon as you get rid of LC! Good luck with that!! :D
Love how you didn't even put team Marlowe as an option, Lannister. Don't want too many people to share with, huh?
LMAO!! Damn, you figured me out Gin!! :DYes, Team Marlowe, Team Dory and Team Stinky will be added as options! :)
1. Cibolo, Texas, though I was born and raised in San Bernardino, California and have lived in LA and WA states. Some how I have all of my driver’s licenses from each state, except Texas I so can’t pass the vision test now.2. Some of my “comfort books”, the series I go back to that I know make me laugh or just enhance my ostriching experience: Elizabeth Hoyt, Maiden Lane; Ilona Andrews, Kate Daniels; Jeaniene Frost, All things Night Huntress; Karen Chance, Cassie and Dori; Kresley Cole, IMD; Kerrilyn Sparks, Love at Stake; Laura Griffin, Tracers; Larissa Ione, Everything; Lynsay Sans, Argeneau; Melissa Mayhue Daughters of the Glen/Warriors; Nalini Singh, Guild Hunter, Psy-changelings; Suzanne Brockmann, trouble shooters; Sandra Hill, Viking II; Sherrilyn Kenyon, Dark-Hunters, League … way too many books/series.
3. Reasons why I have the avatar I have … 1.) I totally forgot about avs, 2.) Don’t see the point of changing it, and finally 3.) Default avs are awesome.
4. Urm, I have never really had a famous person I swooned over. I have thought “hey they are hot”, but that is about it. I am so boring …
5. Mint Oreo blizzards … DQ was an ok trade off for in and out burgers.
6. I had a major stroke in ’07 which made me blind, took 95% of my sense of smell/taste. I did eventually get some new hips though; my mom refuses to go along with me saying I won because I got new hips before her. I read a lot … like a lot. I have always loved to read, instead of haunting libraries I can be obsessive about reading/getting books in the comfort of my room @ my comp. I am not sure what else to say since my life is pretty boring now. I used to be big into online gaming till I lost my sight; my l33t gaming skills don’t work when you can’t see crap. I spent a few years hanging with gamer geeks so my sense of humor is warped and can be juvenile at times. I am still a geek, but I guess now I am a book nerd now. My GR book shelves are scary … Oh, and I talk and say too much.
Kk done
Hi I tend to drop in and out depending on work but still find this the most fun group I've joined so thanks guys...and apologies if my comments come with a time lag!1. From: England
2. Favourites: Cassie and Dory, Kate Daniels/Andrea, Felix Castor (Mike Carey ) first10 Anita Blake (still recovering from Incubus Dreams), Brent Weeks, Jane Austen, Lots of classics, Song of Ice and Fire but only just started, (YA: Chaos walking (Patrick Ness), Siobhan Dowd, Moira Young, HP, & Cassandra Clare) I'll stop there.
3: Avatar: I liked the colours.
4. Swoon over: I prefer book heroes, but if I had to choose in real life Alan Rickman, Colin Firth and Ian Somerhalder.
5. Puddings...tricky...probably lemon meringue pie and chocolates with a cream/alcohol mouse filling preferably dark...:(...none to hand
6. Info: 1 cat, 3 kids: need to work on the cat quota...
And on to the serious questions...team Pritkin over Mircea/Marlowe or even Curran
Before Fury's Kiss definitely team Cassie but Dory has now drawn even.

The word differences can be pretty freakin' funny sometimes ... and sometimes they just make me WTF. lol
Anna, thanks for taking the time to answer these questions! Don't worry about the time lag. Taking part is the most important thing. :)I think I'm Team Dory these days but probably by the time the next Cassie book is out I'll be back to being Team Cassie, cos women are allowed to change their minds, right? :)
1. From: England2. Favourite sereies: Mercy Thompson, Kate Daniels/Andrea Nash, Harry Potter, Pride and Prejudice, Chaos Walking, Skulduggery Pleasant, The Mortal Instruments (I'll stop now otherwise I'll just go on forever)
3. Currently my avatar is a picture of Caroline/Tyler/Klaus from The Vampire Diares, I love that series and Caroline is probably my favourite character so I can't wait to see who she ends up with!
4. Ian Somerhalder, he's great as Damon on TVD and when I saw on twitter that he was looking after abandoned kittens...True Love XD
5. You cannot beat a good strawberry tart, even better if it's French
6. I'm joining because I'm halfway through Fury's Kiss and I need somewhere to obsess! Also I just finished the first book and season of Game of Thones; I loved it and now really want a direwolf :)
As far as teams go I'm team Dory over Cassie and team Pritkin over Mircea.
Hi Ela, welcome to the group! Man, I haven't had a strawberry tart in forever, and there's a nice bakery fairly near where I live that does the most amazing ones! (You know, the kind where you end up with cream all over your face. Those are the best kind LOL!)We've got a spoiler and a no-spoiler thread for Fury's Kiss, so if you want to talk about the book, go ahead! Be aware that we've talked about the end a lot in the spoiler thread though. And yay, Game of Thrones! Team Lannister forever!! :D *dodges the rotten fruit and half bricks being thrown*
Thanx :D Those strawberry tarts sound amazing...I'm now trying to quench a sudden dramatic desire to go out, find a strawberry tart and eat it all. Team Lannister!! How can you be team Lannister!! I could understand liking Tyrion but Joffery, Cersei and Jaime...???
Ah Jaime *swoons*Come back and give me your opinion after you've read the first four books! :D
Speaking of messy food … try beignets. One of the few times I went to the quarter when I lived in the NOLA area I ate at Café Du Monde … good thing the bulk is outside. Powdered … sugar … everywhere. I don’t think it is possible not to make some sort of mess when eating one and they are so very good.

I learned a lot living there for '02-'06, I can only just say it cemented my thoughts that people are weird.

Oh, I'm sure you'll enjoy the Dorina stories. I hope you'll share your thoughts with us.
Thank you Sarah :-),I do my best to share too
Hi Karen, welcome to the group! Gerard Butler fans are ALWAYS welcome!! :DCan't wait to hear what you think of the Dory books! Just be aware you may encounter spoilers anywhere in the group, so better get reading LOL! If you're looking for some recommendations for new things to read, just ask in the General Book Talk thread, and I'm sure you'll get loads of ideas.
Look forward to chatting with you! Dive in and tell us your opinion on the burning issue of the day: Who's the hottest male in the Cassie books? (This subject never gets old!)
Thank you Lannister and will do :-)
Hi, I'm Sabrina. I'm new to the group but I have been following the forums for a while now. You all seem a bit crazy, but that's what makes this place so much fun. So, for het questions.1. I'm from Antwerp, Belgium.
2. Cassandra Palmer, Dorina Basarab, The Hollows, Kara Gillian, Lord of the Rings, The Wheel of Time, Black Jewels Trilogie,... Far to many to name really. As long as it is fantasy, I will read it.
3. My avatar is one I got from my sister. Unfortunatly it's a little to small to read, so this is what it says: "Caution raving fangirl ahead. Beware of muses, plotbunnies, inexplicable squee and coveting" It just seemed appropriate.
4. I've never really swooned over someone, but there are some people who I find attractive, like Viggo Mortensen, Brad Pitt (in the new Chanel No 5 commercial), Hugh Laurie, John Pritkin ;-p just the more ruggedly(?) looking men.
5. Anything with chocolate (hey, I live in Belgium, how can I not love chocolate?)
6. I'm also a big Doctor Who fan, and love My Little Pony: Frienschip is Magic (yes, I know, a little girls show, but I stil love it).
I love both Cassie and Dorina equally, and I am definatly on Team Pritking. I don't really like Mircea in the Cassie books, but he is growing more on me sinds Fury's Kiss.
And that was me. This introduction has become a bit longer than I was planning, sorry for that.
Hi Sabrina, welcome to the group. I'm glad you finally decided to say hello!You all seem a bit crazy
Yup, that's us all right! :D
I think I have quite a few favourite series in common with you. I'm desperately waiting for the final Wheel of Time book in January!
Also, Belgian chocolate. Mmmmmm!
Look forward to getting to know you. :)
Mod
I hope you mean the good kind of crazy! LOL
Yeah I agree with you about Mircea Sabrina, I loved him in FK!
Sarah ♥ Vutch forever ♥ wrote: "I hope you mean the good kind of crazy! LOL"Hey, is there any other kind?!! :D
Oh there is the other kind, thank God none of us here fit the bill!And I'm pretty sure Godiva chocolate is, well, the best thing ever.
yummm chocolate . . . sorry got distracted by thoughts of chocolate. way better than sex!I like your avatar Sabrina. I just got a whole bunch of stuff from KH, including a burning bunny pin lol
