Ha there's a small gap between Todd and I that's aroung 2 1/2 years and I ran into lots of age related issues like with going out too. Lol but he talked me into drinking for the first time when I turned 21 lol( he had a few years more experience than me at that point).
Heh..when my dad was fighting the Battle of the Bulge in WWII, my mom was being born. Age is just a number as they say ;)
Just finished A Game of Thrones, which was even better the second time through. Now I'm going to read Fool Moon and maybe The Light Fantastic as well, to switch it up a little, before continuing on to A Clash of Kings.

Everyone says it gets better after that.
I've been futsing around trying to decide what to read next. Settled on Burndive. It's good so far.

Sorry, Maggie I don't drink. I just see no reason ever to drink.
i am reading Black Sun Rising: The Coldfire Trilogy #1 and The Club Dumas. so far, the first is pretty awesome and the second is intriguing.
Excellent! It will help make this packing thing less unbearable. Not sure about easier. Should probably avoid trying to pack anything fragile, huh?
"we" covers it/him/me/us.
They don't let you have books immediately when you're arrested. Bastards.
On a side note does anyone know if all of the SFBC's books are smaller in stature than a typical hardcover or is it just their exclusive books that are of a smaller size?

Grant, I'm not sure about the specifics, but when Canada had it's SFBC club, their books were usually smaller in stature than typical hardcover. They print it themselves, I believe. Occasionally, however, they'll send out the actual hardcover book from the real publisher. Usually with new releases or books that won't always be in their catalogue. I could never tell which was what when ordering from their catalogue, though.
Thanks Jason and Tracey. I suppose I'll stick to ordering books that are exclusive to them
Maggie, with this tequila business, considering the age limit in Australia is 18, do I abide by that or do I have to suffer like everyone else and wait till 21 because that would not be nice. I'm 18 next August and I can just smell the tequila coming from Ala's breath.

You'll have to go back and get the original Timothy Zahn Heir to the Empire set. They are really good.
I read...a bunch of books :D I plan on reading...a bunch more books :) Moon Over Soho should be coming in soon. Hoping it's a bit more exciting than Midnight Riot.
Maggie wrote: "i only ended up giving a bottle to Jason and to Ala. See if they have any left! lololol"That's just started a fight to the death
Jason wrote: "Thanks, Jea! Those are on the list! :)"Zahn is the one who introduces us to Mara Jade.
I think I have a few fingers of the tequila left. You can have it, Laura. I'm too hungover to even look at it. LOL
But more alcohol is the best cure for a hangover
Ala wrote: "But more alcohol is the best cure for a hangover"I like that. Alcohol: One of the few things where the cause of the consequences are also the cure.
And Jason, I'll have to check with Maggie before I get any tequila :(
I'm having a truth is stranger than fiction reading moment. You may have heard about Oscar, the cat in a nursing home who knows when people are going to die and stays with them until they do.The book is called "Making the Rounds with Oscar," written by an originally sceptical doctor at the nursing home (who doesn't even like cats). He eventually becomes a believer. Nice writing, great story. If you love cats, you'll be nuts about Oscar.
I just started reading Sorceress of Darshiva - for some reason I had the urge to read the Malloreon. This is book 4 and once finish 5 I'm trying to decide between Dresdon #3, Iron Kissed, Dragon Mage, or the Redemption of Althalus. Or Moon over Soho or Daemons are Forever, or Monster Hunter #2.:-D
Just started The Name of the Wind - Loving it so far. :-)
It was a recommendation from the members on here.

So many people just loved that one M, and I just didn't see it...but I decided to re-read it since it is the BotM on another site...hopefully I will like it better this time!
I'm almost finish with book 4 of the Malloreon and then it;s on to book 5!I have a review to write and then it's on to The Redemption of Althulus...and then Iron Kissed...I might throw some Dresden, too.
I also need to finish Paks and a few other books still lingering in my currently reading list.

I have. I thought both were excellent but I preferred FIRE by a slight margin. I am looking forward to BITTERBLUE.
After her first two novels, Cashore goes on a fairly short list of authors whose work I will now buy when it comes out, whatever it is :)
