The majority of my reading is series, so i'm always waiting for several 'next books' to come out. However I am looking for the His Dark Materials trilogy by Phillip Pullman to be placed on the top of my to-read pile.

I don't usually get given books because ppl are unsure what I already have and they know that I usually buy the books I want either when they are released or when my to-read pile shrinks enough to build it up again. This year I was lucky! The Fifth Mountain, by Paulo Coelho. and A Jane...

I agree...Fall Out Boy are far better with these alternate lyrics to one of their more popular songs. Fallout Boy Misheard Lyrics I think I popped a kidney laughing when I saw this. Far preferable to the original and with much more meaning.

I haven't heard if Azhure will be in Darkglass Mountain and I don't think she will be, but it's definately possible, perhaps at the end Azhure was my favourite main character in the first trilogy. I liked her far more than Faraday. Sara has two other series unrelated to Tencendor and its...

It's been about 6 or 7 years since I read WR. I enjoyed the first 3 the most. Were some of the first fant I ever read. I am enjoying Serpent Bride so far but I agree with the common themes with WR. I hope that things are different this time. Maxel is only in Beyond the Hanging Wall...

Some thoughts about The Wayfarer Redemption by Sara Douglass... I was very disappointed with the ending to Crusader as well, though it didn't change my enjoyment of the previous books. Not all the characters endings were annoyinging but I have read the Serpent Bride recently too. I had...

I go to concerts and festivals. I'm also a market browser and keen shopper.

If you only listen to the Top 40 songs in the music charts and watch the top rated movies from hollywood you would also think music and movies are all the same. You would miss out on the best stuff, the ones that really stick with you. It's up to people to use their own taste and look at the...

The Chariot - The Cat Empire This is a song that came upon me one night when the news it had been telling me about one more war and one more fight and 'aeh' I sighed but then I thought about my friends then I wrote this declaration just in case the world end Our guns we shot...

I have the bulging bookshelves you describe and for me their value is not important. I didn't buy them as an investment. I'll admit that I won't buy a hard cover or some trade paperbacks because of the price, but I don't mind paying a reasonable amount for new books, such as a typical paperback...

I grew up hearing about my mums time in Singapore so alot of the places we visited I had heard a bit about. We were there 8 days and visited something new every day. I also shopped my heart out! I hope you get to visit Australia one day. I think you'll like it, although travelling time...

When you are making dinner and judging how long food will take to cook by book pages you will be able to read in that time. eg; If I put the potatotes on now I'll be able to finish this chapter before the peas go on. You are willing to eat overcooked beans if it means you can 'just finish...

Interesting. I'm surprised that this has happened so quickly, but I suppose RJ and Harriet had a Plan B for quite a while. As a fan I was so grateful that RJ and his family chose to continue his blog even while ill. It meant alot to hear from him first-hand how he going. He kept writing 'until...

Hi and welcome. I like the sound of " The Three Martini Playdate", does being an Aunty not a Mum count when they are giving out the martinis? :) I figure that the Mum can take care of the kids while I take care of the liquid refereshments.

Hi and welcome My partner and I visited your lovely country last year for the Singapore American School 50th anniversary. My grandparents lived there for 10 years and my mum and aunt were past students at SAS. We had a wonderful time and would go back again. Thinking back on this has made me...

Hi there and welcome! Another GRRM fan, Good to see, Perhaps Santa can help you find the second book, I hear he uses Ebay:) The series gets better and better and is well worth the read imo.

I buy them. I read series so I want to be able to have the books on hand to look up bits and pieces of previous books when I'm curious about something or want see it from a different perspective when I know more of the plot. Periodically I'll trade in books that I don't want to re-read or keep...
