Ahhh another Mercedes Lackey fan. And tell me, do you ride a white horse?

Ahh... I would love to have one of THOSE white horses!   My horse is pretty amazing though.... Hehehe.

I can take ML in small doses as far as the Heralds/companions series is concerned.  I have the same issue there as I have with Anne (not Todd) Mccaffreys' Dragon riders.
   Her 500 Kingdoms books are just great though, I can't get enough of the unusual and sometimes funny twists she puts on classic fairy tales.

[Lady Rebecca]

I just started rereading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone today for the billionth time. My goal is to re-read every book by midnight on July 14th, which means I have app 166 pages to read/day. I better get cracking!

[Lady Christina de Pond]

alright so i'm currently reading
the Lake House
New moon and
the once and future king
(this one is taking the longest to read because i'm only reading it at lunch)

[Zardoz]

Just finished "The Outback Stars" a pretty good space opera by Sandra McDonald,  and am now on "Serpent's Storm" by the lovely and talented Amber Benson.

[Lady Rebecca]

Well, I'm not going to make my Potter goal... I'm only just over halfway through Order of the Phoenix, which means I would have to read over 230 pages/day in order to finish. But I have too many things to sew to be able to do that!

[Lady Toadflinger]

I just picked up Heartless, by Gail Carriger! Huzzah! I have been awaiting this for months. I also got The Steampunk Bible, and am browsing it during breaks from Heartless. Love that Steampunk!

where the heart is from Billie letts
(i love this book but i didn't like made in the usa)

Have not yet read Where the Heart is, but just finished Made in the USA and found it pretty enjoyable, though having lived on the strees of Las Vegas somewhat recently, I did find some of it to be a bit exaggerated to be degrading.... then again, perhaps my personal exeriences were a bit luckier than the author when she scouted around Vegas. Or maybe she had a hefty advance on her book and looked down on anyone in a homeless state... whatever... anyways...

Aside from Made in the USA, I also just finished Planet of the Apes from 1960-something by Pierre someone or other. Im terrible with author names.  Having only seen the two movie versions, I had no idea there was a book. Found it quite dull overall, and a bit holier than thou on the main human characters part, but it had some interesting points so I kept at it.

Might grab an Encyclopedia Brown book in a bit, childrens books put me to sleep pretty quick so I read them when Im lying in bed. lol

I do have Harry Potter years 1 and 2.. Sorcerers Stone and, well, whatever the second one was, on the shelf now. Might grab one of those instead of the encyclopedia brown. I find Potter to be somewhat more enjoyable in general, I loved the movies.

[Merlin the Elder]

Pierre Boulle is who you are trying to think of, Sam. I read that about 30 years ago and really enjoyed it...a bit different from the movie, but what else is new?  Boulle also wrote the novel that "The Bridge on the River Kwai" was adapted from. The two subjects are soooo different that it's hard to believe they come from the same author.

[Adriana Rose]

Lets see..

Wild Magic- Tamora Pierce
Pride and Prediduce
Ballad - Maggie Seivater
War for the Oaks - Emma Bull


I have to take Pride and Prediuce a bit a at a time, and the others I bounce between. I LOVE the War for the Oaks

[Scotty Hunter]

I have heard of the one you mention Merlin, had no idea it was the same author. I might give a look and see if I can find it.

Im working on one called Good Luck by Whitney Gaskell now. About a lady who wins $87M and how everyone wants a piece of her and how, for her, money doesn't buy happiness. 
Rule number 1, if you win big bucks, change your name and disappear. lol
Rule number 2, money might not buy happiness but it does buy the things that make me happy.
