are you reading them out of order?

Just started reading Deepak Chopra's new book, sent a copy to a friend for Christmas as well.

no Sword is the newest it was released last week. last in the pervious. Ravens of Avalon which is the next to worst book in the series, though they aren't written in universe order.
Fall of Atlantis was written in the 50s and published in the 80s, than Mists of Avalon was in 82, Forest House in 93, Lady of Avalon in 97, Priestess of Avalon in 99, Ancestors of Avalon in 01 and Ravens in 07.

Though read them as the events take place it should be:
Fall, Ancestors, Sword, Ravens, Forest House, Lady, Priestess, Mists

ohh, ok I getcha

You are so totally my bro.

Mists was one of my favorite books of all time, but the following books were crap. If I hated Lady of Avalon, should I bother with this one?

It's a salacious tell-all, a love story and absolute tragedy. The end, a 70-year-old cheeta's reunion with a wheelchair-bound, stroke-paralysied jonny weissmuller after 40 years spent in a cage would bring a tear to a glass eye. Great turn of phrase for a chimp, too.

I've heard so many good things about this book, and from the few pages I skimmed through in the airport's bookstore, I was def intrigued

Oh lawd, I haven't finished "A Confederacy of Dunces" yet, but goddamned I laughed so hard. Every chapter had me in a fit of giggles.

Brilliant prose.

Lady of Avalon sucked as did Ravens of Avalon . I think this one was as good as Forest House and Ancestors of Avalon

Currently reading:








I love my Sony E-Reader!!!!!

So you got through "Dead to the World"?

I can't wait until May for book 10 and June for season 3 of TB

Opening the Dragon Gate

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

My wife bought & read the entire series.

I was out of something to read and read the first one. Haven't stopped since. Midway through the one where she meets her great-grandfather.

I can't believe I'm hooked on these.

PurpleJedi said:

Don't hate the hook!!!

They're great junk reading!!

Nothinbutjoy said:

Yes!!!! I love Alcide!!!

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

Alcide's book 3 "Club Dead"

"Dead to the World" is aaaaall about Eric.
I won't say any more in case you've not finished that book.

Nothinbutjoy said:

Well we all know what happened in book 4 with Eric. I think it was book 4. Too bad he can't remember. hehee!

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

Heh heh....so you've finished them then!

BTW.... www.ew.com has some casting news about True Blood if you're interested.

Nothinbutjoy said:

Not all of them. I'm on 5 I think.

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

That's what I meant

5's not my fave, but it's good

Nothinbutjoy said:

The only thing is that the books are starting to become a little formulaic. That's okay though. I love Sookie.

Nothinbutjoy said:

Same thing with Sam Butcher's "Dresden Files" series. Can't WAIT for the next one!
