No disagreement there, I had hoped, with Skyrims engine, and the capacity of the Steam workshop, to experience a level of modding sophistication otherwise unavailable in the past. There are some nice overhauls, http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/19281//?
Being a favorite of mine. But otherwise I was largely disappointed with the glut of texture mods.
But onto the books!

I read the title, said to myself, Nooo, are they really...? and then read the rest of the thread and did a little dance of joy.
I will begin to work on things both from Anais' point of view and C'rhisi's.
And I just have to add- I love you guys so much. Â *tear*
