The Hall of Fire

Both my kids are fans of the game, and both have watched the movie and loved it. I have yet to do so but will.

(Kids! Ha! They are adults of 31 and 27)

Maggies are very intelligent. They are my favourite birds because they establish bonds with humans so easily - and, of course they have the most glorious warble.

The last couple of years a magpie couple come around regularly for snacks and now bring their fledgling with them.

Congratulations TolkienJRR on the positive reception. I know it represents years of work and heart's blood. I wish you continued success with it.

Missed it

Slow Horses

Gary Oldman is just superb.

And the trailer doesn't do justice to the series. We're half way through seaon 2 now.

Sadness

I feel as if I am witness to Beleriand sinking beneath the waves.

Inanna, those ornaments are lovely! Talented young woman.

The quality of the readers is indeed patchy but the good ones are excellent! I suggest you 'taste-test' before downloading.

And now, I'm also trotting off to my kindle to see to the new Murderbot book!

Look! Entmoot!
Actually a fabulous photo in the Fasilides castle taken by a friend during travels in Gonder (correct spelling) Ethiopia. The tree roots grow into the former pool.

I have Delta-V downloaded but need to read three others on my shelf before the loan expires!

More Martha Wells sounds good!

Eight of those writers are also on my list; the other 4 I don't know but I'll rectify that.

I read Nettle and Bone and agree it's fluffy and fun.
Haven't read the others.

I've been reading crime lately and have discovered Elizabeth George's Inspector Lynley series. A great find!

Bill found his way to Tom's house IIRC?

Sunny, that's really cool...makes that link through thousands of years of history tangible; the human chain of craftspeople who did what you do in the same way.

I highly recommend a series I've just begun by Alan Bradley. The protagonist is Flavia de Luce, 11 years old, a precocious aspiring chemist who lives in a rambling old pile with two obnoxious older sisters and a father who is still grieving his wife 10 years after her mystetious death. In the first ...

I use Libby and swear by it. I have also taken digital membership at Brooklyn Public Library using a friend's Maryland address - had to pay $50 for out of state membership but I estimate I've saved $400-$500 in book purchases in the last year so well worth it.

I can't find a copy at any of my Libby libraries either. I'll have to download a sample on Kindle.

Well, now you've forced my hand.

So...is anyone in the throes of developing a story background? I'd like to see us tossing around some ideas for stories so we can clarify what kind of RPs people are interested in. There are so few RPers on HoF that it would be canny of us to launch the forum with a story that interests a goodly num...
