  • *hugs Ella and BC* Coughs suck. *hands out coughdrops* I guess it's getting towards cold season for you guys... happily we're just moving out of it! *offers hot chocolate and lemon and honey drinks* (No, not both at once) Lemon and honey will definitely help. *nods* Very soothing stuff. And of course hot chocolate tastes good...

      • *grins* Yes, it was...

        Hey, check this High Wizardry cover out! I've never seen this one before.

        I spent my birthday $$ (Borders gift certificates) yesterday. I got:

        <UL TYPE=SQUARE>
        <LI>Paperback copies of the first and second books in the Wind on Fire Trilogy
        <LI>A book called Faerie Wars
        <LI>A book called Pirates
        <LI>A book called East[/list]

        Yay!

          OOh! Ella! I've read Faerie Wars and Pirates, and East looked really good but I couldn't afford it. *grumble grumble* Pirates was AWESOME!!!!!!! VERY good!! Same with Faerie Wars. The sequel to Faerie Wars is coming out sometime in late 2004 I think and I'm not sure if there's a sequel to Pirates. Tell me how East is!

          I'm reading Timeline right now, my dad is making me read it before the movie comes out. Anybody here read it?

            • Agent M: Timeline? As in by Michael Crichton? If so, it's a really good book. I read it several times, and liked it better each time.

                • Timeline...I think I know it, I borrowed it once last year but never got around to reading it. It looked really good...I've only read Jurassic Park and The Lost World by Crichton.

                    • Crichton is pretty good. (understatement)

                      I read Sphere when I found out that there was going to be a movie made from that, and I liked the book SOOO much better than the movie. Sphere the movie was like.... Duh, what's this thingy here? And the book was like... "So, we have the power to do anything? We should all will ourselves to not have the power, and to forget we ever had it. One, Two, Three... What were we doing...?"

                      Never read the Jurassic Park stuff.

                      I will totally read Timeline, now. I saw the poster, and I was like: "Timeline? Why does that sound familiar?"

                      • I cannot believe Foxtail just said that. I have read all those books, except, east, which I am buying in a week or two, and Pirates, which I am waiting for a friend to lend to me because she said she would. Faerie Wars is awesome. If you go to www.faeriewars.com, or maybe it's www.herbiebrennan.com, you can go on a virtual tour of the faerie land, the town, and Hael. But anyways, the WIND ON FIRE TRILOGY IS LIKE ONE OF THE BEST SERIES EVER!!!!!!!!!! I love all the characters...the first one is the most action...the second on the most explaining, and the third the most intellectual insight and emotion. Go read them right now!

                        • Birdhead: Timeline is NOT about a butterfly. It's about quantem physics (sp?) and alternate universes. The characters have to go back into one of the alternate universes which is in the medeval times. It's hard to explain but it's not about a butterfly. And Pirates is GOOD, this rich girl has to hide from one guy who wants to marry her and so she becomes a pirate, she's also in love with a Navy guy. She goes with a slave girl who is running away from slavery. It's really good! I'm not 100% sure what East is about, I only read the inside cover, you'll have to ask Ella if you want to know.

                            • Sorry. I haven't read any of his other books but Timeline is REALLY good so far, if you can you should try to read it before the movie comes out, if you're interested and don't have anything else to read.
