Books are my only vice and I will read anything, though I'm partial to mysteries, fantasy, sci-fi and young adult. My mom says I started reading at 2. I'm originally from the Philippines, married to an American (for 15 years and counting) and we have 2 young children, a 7-yr-old girl and a 6-yr-old boy. I collect books and hope to pass them... more »

    Thanks - I appreciate the second opinion :-) That's what I had thought to do - put up a "possible spoiler" disclaimer. Hopefully that will take care of any problems!

    Annapi, Can I ask a favor of a fellow Outlander series lover?

    I've been told by someone in a different group that the review I gave for A Breath of Snow and Ashes (which is the same reveiw that I posted on Play Book Tag) contains spoilers. I've re-read my review, and can't really find any big spoilers. Yes, it says some of the things that will happen in the book. But those are pretty generic, and anyone who has read the Outlander saga knows that one or more of things are likely to happen in ANY of the books.

    So I would appreciate a second opinion from someone else who has read the book. If you think there are indeed spoilers, I'll probably put a note up about it. Thanks in advance!

    Hey Anna! A couple of the PBT members started up another group that will feature an author each month instead of a tag. January's author is Neil Gaiman. There will be two other award winning fantasy authors to choose from as well. I thought you might be interested. The link is: http://www.shelfari.com/groups/32619/about . I just joined yesterday and there's already a ton of people in the group! Most of them are PBT members.

    Hi annapi! Yes, I'm Filipino. I'm currently living in Orlando, Florida, although I grew up in the Philippines. I love to read, and I like to discuss books, too. I'm currently addicted to paranormal romance novels, although, I'll pretty much read anything that catches my fantasy. Thanks for the welcome.

    Eric is quite the character! I have only read the first two books but hear that he gets MUCH better in the third :) I'm envisioning the PBT version of People's Sexiest Man of the Year edition! LOL

    I just wanted to say that I would like to know who else is on your "Sexiest Men in Literature" list! I totally agree with the Jamie Fraser assessment; I JUST started reading the first book from the In Death series and it only took about 50 pages for me to immediately agree with your assessment of Roarke! I can't wait to cuddle up with more of the book tonight :)
