I was just wondering if anyone knew of any fantasy/adventure-type books with females as lead characters. Things like Children of the Dust, The Winter of Fire by Sheryl Jordan, the Tomorrow, When the War Began series by John Marsden and Noughts and Crosses by Malorie Blackman. I'm trying to...

It was just past midday, not long before the third summons to prayer, that Ammar ibn Khairan passed through the Gate of the Bells and entered the palace of Al-Fontina in Silvenes to kill the last of the khalifs of Al-Rassan. The Lions of Al-Rassan by Guy Gavriel Kay

How many books do you have? I think that amount plays a huge role in how they should be ordered. No point of seperating them into sections if you only have a few.

Haha, ah that's right :D

We did? I don't remember that, but now you have me intrigued..

Yeah, it's really great. Muscles you never knew you had hurt afterwards, though. It's kind of like tennis, but played in a room. Here's a link: Squash

Another great Skype meet-up :) Thanks for the chat Stewart, DS, Gem and Sofia. It's a shame you couldn't make it, mehastings - definitely next time!

It's on one hour from the time of this post, LC :)

I like to play hockey and squash, but I'm not a big fan of watching. Netball can be ok sometimes.

Very true. One of the largest Maori tribes in NZ - the Ngai Tahu (who span the whole South Island) - are now saying that they want all of the special priveledges to go away, as they are sick of people saying that Maoris only because doctors etc because of the seperatist treatment. The North...

Over here, a lot of recent political attention has been focused on the dissatisfaction of the whites over the unjust reverse racism in our country. Unfortunately, the party that promised they would get rid of it just missed out in the last elections (they would have won, but their leader is a...

Aw, how unfortunate. I was really looking forward to talking you!

I can speak English and touches of Maori.

I totally agree!! I don't see how people refuse to think of this as racism. If you are excluded from something because of the colour of your skin, you are being subject to racism. Try telling people that, though - watch how fast /you/ get labelled a racist :rolleyes:

I'm guessing they were preorders. I think I read somehwere that it was being released late November, after a TV special on it had aired.

Wow. What was left of his career just went down the tube. Although his comments were highly offensive, I don't think that he is a racist. I think that he his comments were an attempt at a joke. A highly offensive, completely inappropriate joke, but a joke nonetheless. I notice that nothing...

I'm in! I might be a little late because I usually go on a walk on Saturday mornings, but as it starts at 10 am my time, I should be fine. I did buy a new one. It says on the front that it's compatable with Skype, so hopefully it will work a bit better. It's pretty flash, too :cool: Oh, I...

A (belated) happy birthday to you, Poppy! Did you get any books? :D

Count me in as well :D

Lol - thanks :D I'm not sure how well I'm going to go, as it hasn't really sunk in quite yet that these are my proper exams, and I've been mucking around a bit. Oops :o . This year as gone way too fast - it seems surreal that it's the end of school already!
