Book Recommendation:
The Naming by Alison Croggon
From the Back: Maerad is a slave in a desperate and unforgiving settlement, taken there as a child after her family is destroyed in war. Â She is unaware that she possesses a powerful gift, one that marks her as a member of the School of Pellinor. Â It is only when she is discovered by Cadvan, one of the great Bards of Lirigon, that her true heritage and extraordinary destiny unfold. Â Now she and her new teacher must survive a journey through a time and place where the dark forces they battle stem from the deepest recesses of otherwordly terror.
Allison Croggon's epic fantasy, the first in the Books of Pellinor quartet, is a glittering saga steeped in the rich and complex landscape of Annar, a legendary world ripe for discovery.
It's one of the best books I've ever read.

RE: Stop playing with our hearts square - Fates Skein - 08-19-2013
Watching Bones, Supernatural, various animes.
Clarifying C'rhisi's Wiki
Setting up backstory and stuff for my thaumaturge alt.
Playing TSW (and finishing up some art of TSW characters).
Working my way through the Steam sale games I bought. >.>
Reading. Lots and lots of reading.
Those are all the things I -should- be doing. Â What I'm actually doing is staring forlornly at the FFXIV launcher, trying to will time to go faster.Â
RE: Stop playing with our hearts square - ArmachiA - 08-19-2013
I'm SUPPOSED to be updating my character's journals to where they are currently and working on the RP Archives for my guild.
What am I doing? Playing Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. Whoops

Gaimen!
I saw him yesterday at a book signing, he did a little talk and read from a couple of his books. I'm pretty sure his voice could put me to sleep in a thunderstorm. He even signed my copy of Good Omens with "Have a nice doomsday", which reminds me...
Any Terry Pratchett fans here?
I'm also going through two huge books of Arthur Conan Doyle and H.P Lovecraft and I really, really need to get around to reading Neuromancer, I've been meaning to for weeks.
RE: Stop playing with our hearts square - Qhora Bajihri - 08-19-2013
I saw some of you in-game as I was frantically flying by on my way to being so excited to be playing again. Excited!
I was going to play GW2 for the next few days, but my internet's decided to be a jerk, so I don't know. Maybe I'll go dust off FFXIII since I never really got into that one.
I'm just glad the jerkternet waited until the beta was over. 3102 had me locked out for about 24 hours, but I got to 20 on a JP server in the meantime, ha!
RE: Stop playing with our hearts square - Corelyn - 08-19-2013
Nnngh. I have a few things I could do.
Finish Bioshock: Infinite... Keep playing The Last of Us... Skyrim... Keep working on making my RPGMaker game...
But my obsessive tendencies will not allow this. I will likely sit here and obsess over this game until it's out while doing little else. *puts the Limsa Lominsa music on repeat and rocks back and forth*
Though I will likely work on character profiles for Corelyn and few others I need to get working on. Hell, I think due to 3102 I wasn't even able to MAKE my other characters. D:

I'm actually familiar with both series! If you're looking for something similar to these, and you enjoy animals perhaps then, take a look at some of Brian Jacques' Redwall work. They're a little older these days but if you haven't read them, (Salamandastron, and Mattimeo in particular!) they are fantastic stories. And there are a lot of them! Easy reads, quick, and packing substance without getting too weighty.
I will always recommend Gaiman's work. Starting perhaps, with Stardust or Neverwhere and ending with one of my all time favorite novels, American Gods.
Let me know how those suggestions treat you! I've got a few more in mind but I want to see how you take to these first. :D

Oh man! He was in SanFran just a few weeks ago and I totally missed the visit. I almost got into a six week writing workshop with him a handful of summers back but had to back out due to some problems with funding on my end. Biggest disappointment of my life thus far.
I like Pratchett on occasion. I'm not sure I could read him all the time but he's definitely got a lot of really good stuff. (I'm a bit biased towards Douglas Adams though!)
Also love ACD and Lovecraft's work. I'm about to break into a few books by GK Chesterton I got a while back, but never got around to reading. Neuromancer though, I'm not sure I want to go near. William Gibson's stuff is so dense it takes me months to get through it all.
RE: Stop playing with our hearts square - Chickpea - 08-19-2013
This actually works out okay for me since it's my birthday this week, as well as my boyfriends...and our anniversary...so yeah, we'll be plenty busy doing other things and spending time at the beach before the end of summer. Seriously looking forward to playing, though.
I guess just watching tv on netflix and more Animal Crossing!
RE: Stop playing with our hearts square - shotgunbadger - 08-19-2013
Animal Crossing, Netflix, Amazon Prime, a Kindle full of books. I have plenty of options thankfully...
But none of them are FFXIV!
RE: Stop playing with our hearts square - Raccoon - 08-19-2013
There's always loads of anime. Saints Row 4 comes out tomorrow. I gotta finish up Sleeping Dogs and then move on to Asura's Wrath; forgot what it's about but it was apparently on my Gamefly queue, so I must have liked what I saw. Oh, and I still have the last few books of the Guardians of Ga'Hoole, which my niece gifted to me on kindle and am therefore obligated to read.
RE: Stop playing with our hearts square - Jubilation - 08-19-2013
Work mostly, graveyard convenience store work is fun right? right?...
I don't have the full early access anyway so
RE: Stop playing with our hearts square - Zyrusticae - 08-19-2013
Another update for PSO2 comes out on Wednesday. The fall school semester is starting up as well. Then there's the piles and piles of anime piling up on my backlog...
And I still have to write the profile for my alt. :<
Too much to do, so little time... and I'll have even less of it when the launch arrives.
