*~COMPANIONZ~*

Guys, I need to apologize. I'm sure it's become apparent to all of you, as it's become apparent to me, that I simply won't be able to continue this community. There are some non-internet life factors coming into play, so I have to face facts. I'm sorry about being unable to meet my commitment here, and I want to thank everyone who contributed. I had fun, and I hope everyone else did as well.

Okay! Um! It's been a while even since I reread this one. Like. A month. So.

( some thoughtsCollapse )

All right! Magic's Promise next Monday!

Guys, I deeply apologize for our unplanned and unannounced hiatus. Life and death flus have a way of getting in the way of beautiful, beautiful plans, and along those lines, I'd like to bid a fond farewell to callsigns, who is needing to take a break from being mod-ly.

I'm still committed to playing in this community, if you all are still interested in playing along with me. I'd like to switch to making a single book post every Monday, discussing the entire book, and I'm going to shorten our scope to reading the Last Herald Mage trilogy, Oathbound and Oathbreaker, By the Sword, and the Mage Winds trilogy.

Does that sound like a plan? Again, I apologize for having left you guys hanging for a whole month while I sorted things out in my head. I'll try not to let it happen again.

So! Assuming everyone is amenable to the change in plans, spend tomorrow scraping up your memories of Magic's Pawn, because I'll be talking about it on Monday (Lackey's parent issues, let me show you them).

( In which there was a complete failure of analytical thoughtCollapse )

Right! We'll be discussing the first half of Magic's Pawn (chapters 1 through 7) on Thursday. Happy reading!

The last book of the first trilogy, and omg dramorz! If you've read the series before, you know what's coming, but since we're just discussing the first six chapters, ( what about that lifebond, huh?Collapse )

joyfulseeker will be finishing the book on Monday, so this would be a great time to go out to the library/bookstore/your basement and get The Last Herald-Mage Trilogy, Magic's Pawn, Magic's Promise and Magic's Price. (I know the Tarma and Kethry books were *technically* next, but so what, let's get to Vanyel!)

Next up, Arrow's Fall! callsigns   will be discussing chapters 1 through 6 on Thursday. I will be finishing up the book with chapters 7 through 12 on Monday.

Failure! Our schedule derailed so soon! Due to the holiday and . . . er . . . procrastination, the second Arrows of the Queen post is a few days late. Apologies! But hey, we're through the first book! What did you all think?

( the love which totally dares to Mindspeak its nameCollapse )

Nu? What say you all? Join us Monday for an encapsulating post on Arrow's Flight by joyfulseeker, and then we're back on track on Thursday with half of Arrow's Fall!

For our inaugural post, to get us in the spirit of the thing I bring you ( this posterCollapse )

( Wow, nostalgia rating high hereCollapse )

So! What did everyone else think? Remember, we'll be reading chapters 7 through 12 (the end of the book) over the weekend and discussing them on Monday in an entry hosted by the lovely callsigns.

Hey hey, joyfulseeker your friendly co-mod here! Just wanted to remind everyone that if you want to play along, we're starting our reading with "Arrows for the Queen" this week, so pick up a copy from your local bookstore, your library, or that box of books stored in the back of your closet and start that reading!

We will be discussing the first half of the book, chapters one through six, on Thursday, February 14th. We'll be finishing the book with chapters seven through twelve on Monday, February 18th.

Come on, dudes. Pete Wentz, Talia, and the magical white horses await you...
