Yoo hoo! *waves hanky* It's me again with another special delivery!
Did you know that today is Book Lover's Day? No? Well, neither did I until Shaylmesse (#13314) brought it to my attention-- and I'm blushing to have to admit my ignorance, because there are few greater pleasures than curling up with a good book! If you're like me and would just love to have your own little personal library, why don't you try Shaylmesse's gift on for size?
The Book Lover's Background is available in the Advent Calendar for the duration of today and tomorrow, up until August 10th, 11:59pm.
Ooh, but wait! There's more!
Tell me your favourite book (and why!) in the comments and you could be in with a chance of winning this set of custom crystals! I'm in need of some good new holiday reads and I'm sure I can't be the only one. :3 Chime in by August 10th, 11:59pm to ensure your spot in the draw (one entry per account, please).
Ooh, but wait! There's even more!!!
Do you remember I mentioned earlier in the week that I was having a tidy of my inbox? The invitation (and encouragement!) to nudge your outstanding Artist Pay is still open, but today I am asking you to bump up PMs pertaining to Lunarii switches. That means if you picked up the wrong Lunaris for the month and you're still waiting on me to swap 'em around for you, point yourself to my inbox sharpish!
Phew! Okay! That's everything - probably! Who knows! Yay! Exclamation marks!
Thank you for the background, Shaylmesse!
Just smell those new pages!

If you like suspense/horror I recommend Watchers by Dean Koontz. For a cute fantasy series, the Goblin Quest books by Jim C. Hines. A fun literature inspired mystery series is the Thursday Next books by Jasper Fforde. I hope you find a ton of good reads from all these suggestions!! =)

I don't have to pick just one, right? So many good books out there! But I'll stick with two very different ones that spring to mind: The Enchanted Forest Chronicles by Patricia C. Wrede (book series that begins with Dealing with Dragons, though it gets better with every subsequent book -- so much fun!!) and Raptor Red by Robert T. Bakker (a raptor's story 120 million years ago; a mature book, but I read it as a teen).

My favorite book is actually a series. The Last Apprentice by Joseph Delaney. There's something ridiculous like 9 or 10 books currently out.

"And Then There Were None" by Agatha Christie is an amazing book- It's one of my personal favourites because I just adore murder mystery books! Besides, what could be better than a book in which 10 people are lured onto an island, stranded there, accused of crime, then killed off one by one according to a nursery rhyme? Plus, the ending- it's mind blowing. A must-read! :-)

I didn't say why they're (among) my favorites, but it should be obvious, right? The first is about a princess who kicks butt with the friends she meets along the way and the second is a book told from the perspective of my favorite dino, the raptor! ;)

Thanks Shaylmesse and Vis!! <3
One of my favorites, probably my top favorite non-Star Wars book... The Obsidian Trilogy by Mercedes Lackey and James Mallory (I think is the guy's name)! It's a vibrant story, with interesting characters and an amazing spin on 'standard' fantasy. The way they handle magic especially, is fun and unique! Amazing series, I recommend it to everyone!

If you have not read Deborah Chester's Alien Chronicles trilogy, I would highly suggest it. One of my top five favorite series.. and I do a LOT of reading!

The name of the wind. An amazing book with great lore, characters, and an interesting magic system.

I really enjoyed The Symphony of Ages series by Elizabeth Haydon. The first book is Rhapsody: Child of Blood.
