Traveling Book Project Germany :) It's a group to send one of your books to other members and while reading it everyone writes down their thoughts. And in the end you get back unique and colourful book. I already told Siobhan about it (again and again 😂), that's why we started our Waking Fire read.
It's a rather small but active group and we try to keep it that way, I can send you an invitation if you are interested. But I wouldn't mind if that's not your cup of tea, so don't feel forced!

Hm, I think I'll wait and see how the Waking Fire project works for me and then maybe join later. But thanks for the offer! :)
I really like that idea however I already have that book so put me down as a maybe 👍🏽👍🏽

Timelord Iain wrote: "Didn't you show some photos before of how the Traveling Book group writes notes in the margins, that others can read when they read the book?"I'm not sure, maybe I just linked the instagram account. But I could do so now :) I know there are a lot of people that will hate how we 'ruined' the books, but I think it makes them special and unique.
Too bad, you can't read the comments (except for Bea), but you'll get an idea :)
Also I love little drawings like this:

Awesome! ♥ Is it from the same artist as your last dragon picture?

Looks great! I believe I wouldn't dare to draw something for fear of f*cking it up haha
Sir Anni wrote: "Awesome! ♥ Is it from the same artist as your last dragon picture?"Nope, it's not! I take most of my pics' from this website and sometimes google the illustrator of a cover I particularly liked to see more of their work.
(The illustrations featured by ezines like Uncanny Magazine and Clarsesworld Magazine are always very beautiful, if you're interested in this sort of things :p)
Speaking of which... Some of Julie Dillon's works; she made the cover of Uncanny Magazine Issue #22 (the first pic)!Ocean Magic
The Oak on the Hill
The Archivist
Beneath the Surface

Wow! Awesome pics!!May I show you some of my favourites?!

Haha, now I'm very curious! 😂

Yes! Please do! :D

I can't find my all time favourite right now but I'll search for it and post it a bit later. He's got so many other awesome paintings.

He also made the covers for Feist's Magician trilogy and those of Gene Wolve
I've found my favourite one - same art by Don Maitz:Sword and Dragon
WOW! His art is amazing! Thanks for sharing, Laura :DI really, really like the Sword and Dragon too.
I'm in the mood for creepy pics' today!

I download 50-100 at a time, once or twice a year, and set them to cycle hourly...
Just finished watching The Legend of Korra, it's been an amazing ride! Just saying.... Asami for the win! She's a genius engineer capable of kicking benders' asses with martial arts (and a vicious taser-glove :p). And look how gorgeous she is:
I need to watch Legend of Korra since I just finished Avatar ! (and that was so so good). I'm still annoyed by (view spoiler) though ^^This lady is beautiful indeed :)
Have you read the Avatar comics sequels? I really need to find those :D

I agree with your spoiler - I felt the same away. I will wait till you watch Korra too, if both of you like it, then I will give it another try.
@Kari: Did you watch Korra and give up?I watched the first season right after finishing Avater a few years back and did not continue 'cause I was disappointed. It is quite different (despite being in the same world), and Korra is def not as lovable a character as Aang.
I gave it another try and loved it! I think it's better to wait a bit after finishing Aang's story before diving into Korra's. Otherwise, you'll go into it expecting more of the same. Living up to Aang's legacy is actually a big theme of the show (especially in the first two seasons).
I need to read those comics of course !And I will wait a bit before watching Korra, because I'm indeed a little worried of being disappointed. I've started Voltron (it's like Power Rangers which sucks a little... but the characters are great and their group dynamics are on point ! and that's what I'm looking for)

I watched it the day Avatar ended with such high hopes.
Okay, then I will wait for sometime before going for it.
- It's huge! I got it Friday. Now it's sitting on the table and I plan on reading it next year. =)I blame you for letting me know that it was available. I got a nice deal for it on Amazon.

I'm filling the void left by Aang & Korra with tons and tons of animes ;)

(Btw, I love their 'Salute your shorts' monthly column. Plenty of cool stories to read, and most of them are available online for free :D)
