    Hello Aprillee, I haven't been online in awhile so I thought I find out how things are going. I read a book by Obama and it is boring (Audicity of Hope). Never will I read a book by a politican again.

    Vampires, Witches & Were’s all that
    would like to invite you to participate in the ABC contest starting on July 1, 2008.
    I will post a thread that has the letters of the ABC's list, then start your own thread for example mine would be Sherry's ABC's and list the books that you read with those letters has the first letter in any title of book, it doesn't have to be in the genre either. Each person will be responsible for sending me their points via the group email at vampireswitchesweresallthat@yahoo.com. For every book you read during the time period (until the next letters are posted) you will receive 10 points in the email you must list the title, author, and pages so that if there is tie, we will use page count to break the tie. Everyone is eligible to win, even admin's as a third party will be keeping track of the points for me...so post the books you read...I will post the first letters on July 1.

    As always happy reading..
    Show me the books he loves and I shall know the man
    far better than through mortal friends.

    Good morning Aprillee, How are things with you? Things have settled down here. I've started reading "Lamb" by christopher moore and so far it has me in stitches. I'm hoping that I can get my reading back on line. What are you been reading now?

    Just a reminder that our book for June in Vampire's Witches and Were's is Halfway to the Grave by Jeaniene Frost. Ms. Frost has agreed to visit our group for the day (AWESOME!) to talk to us about her book! While we read, lets take notes so we'll be ready for our one on one with this popular author! As a group we have to vote on when the best time would be for her to spend the day with us. Please vote and make Jeaniene Frost feel welcome! Thanks!! ~.^

    I don't remember Rice being at Gen Con. I've seen author signings at my favorite book store and I wasn't impressed with them. I don't even remember who they were. The only author that I realy wanted to see turned out to be a big disappointment and that was as I said before was Margrett Weiss of Dragonlance fame. Its been since about 1990 since I was last at Gen Con although I would like to go again. Maybe even this year if I can afford it.

    April, Thanks for the advice. Drop by the Intergalactic Bar and Grill at Linnea Sinclair's web site and sign up for her loop. I am sure that you will enjoy the group. They are a bunch of brains and razor wits. :-) That is where I was introduced to Asaro and Cherryh.

    April, I haven't read Catherine Asaro or C.J. Cherryh, I am ashamed to admit. Which books would you suggest that I start on? Thanks

    I see you've added the Liaden books to your list. Are you just now reading them, or just getting around to adding them? I enjoyed them a lot when they first came out, but I haven't read any of the recent ones. I think "I Dare" was the last I read.

    I just got around to posting my Dunnett's, but I do re-read them every couple years or so. I like to joke with a couple friends of mine that we're the ultimate lit snobs--if we're at a party and someone mentions Lymond of Crawford, we know they're Our Kind of People.

    I also used Lymond as an example the other day when we were discussing POV (point of view) in a writers' group. I pointed out that in the entire six book series you are never in the hero's POV except for one sentence. One sentence, and yet everyone knows Lymond, without being inside his head. That's an amazing thing, and helps illustrate why the late Dame Dorothy is a goddess among novelists.

    Hi Aprillee! You sound like a combination of my son (Literature & History degrees) and myself (art degree) I've been a commercial and technical illustrator for years. (now I do other things, but paint watercolors for fun)
