Robin Hobbs is one author I recently discovered (in the last 3-5 years) for my reading pleasure. Remarkable year that was for finding new authors to love. As I also found that year Jane Lindskold. Coincidence? A wolf connection? I read all I could of both that year I came across them. Who you ask? All my life I have asked Why? Reading helps me find my answers but also leaves me asking why again. I like the neverending cycle. What - I would like to say a bookman, but must say librarian (tips hat to Dunning) Where - Chicago is home When - 1955 Addictions - reading, movies, art Question - Is there a bottle of Dandelion Wine in the house? P.S. - Willem said he was waiting for a new HOBB book, well me2.

We usually go for the apricot brandy around here for our alcoholic tipple of choice (and steer clear of the apple wine... it's dodgy) but I am sure I can rustle up a bottle. Welcome, welcome. Feel free to start conversations in any forum.

I'd like to do something clever like offer you a specialized food and drink based on your interests, but the only thing I can think of from the books of Mary Doria Russell is wine and wafers, and that would just be tacky. Anyway, look around and enjoy yourself. He said quietly

It can finish 3 weeks later with a tasting party. A recipe can be found here: http://www.texascooking.c...recipes/dandelionwine.htm

Read all of Robin Hobbs books, no Megans yet... But I absolutely love her books to dead - Other authors I'm in love with? Jim Butcher - Joe Abercrombie - GRRM - Jacqueline Carey - David Anthony Durham - Brandon Sanderson - the list goes on and on! Other favorite pastimes? Drinking cava in the shade with the girlfriends - dancing the night away (not too frequently off course) - reading my boys a bedtime story - snuggling with my husband while watching a gruesomely bloody horrormovie or crying my eyes out while watching a major chick flick (also while snuggling the husband ) That's it!

Not sure if we have any cava, but I'm sure someone will offer you imaginary fairybread, nettle tea, and wintergreen cookies soon enough! "Even mollusks have weddings, though solemn and leaden."

I started Assassins Apprentice about two months ago - had my friends book on the shelf for over a year, but wanted to read The Subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass first - one trilogy after the other... a grave mistake. My friend is SO happy I finally got around to Hobb... Other passions/favourite characters )in chronological order): Star Trek (Spock, Q, Garak, Weyoun) Lord of the Rings (Saruman) Harry Potty (Snape) I'm pretending to write a science ficiton novel, but so far it's just happening in my head. I try to warm up with RPGs by email. Ask me if I missed something essential.

I've been through the Farseers and the Tawny Man. that makes six. I'm waiting for my friend to finish the Liveships and send them over. I'm re-reading the Farseers while I wait. But I shouldn't count them double, or should I?

I'm in the UK and picked up Assassin's Apprentice a few months ago after scanning Amazon for highly recommended fantasy books. I've since read the rest of trilogy and the Tawny Man triliogy. I'm just about to start the Ship of Magic. A little bit more about me- I'm 24, getting married in a few months and am very happy that the new Premiership season has started this weekend!

It's traditional to offer fairy bread and apricot brandy to newcomers, but given your profession, I'm guessing a haunch off the spit and rot-gut rum might be more appropriate. Yes?

You're glad the prem started again, but who are you supporting? Got a fantasy league team? Sorry, can you tell we don't get many football fans round here?

Hi Eidolon- I've been brought up supporting Liverpool who haven't got off to the greatest start in the world! Hopefully they can do something against Stoke tonight. I do have a Fantasy Football team- is there a forum league by any chance?!
