The Cauldron

Hmmm...it's been at least two years since my friend bought the books for me. They were either a birthday present or a graduation gift...but since my birthday is always around the time when people graduate, I really can't remember. I just couldn't and can't get through them. I made it to chapter 2 the first try, and then to 9 the second. They say that third times the charm, but I haven't attempted to read it in a while.
But Magician and Destiny are not on the same level, and there is no excuse for her not finishing it! She's had a longer time than I have had to read Magician to read Destiny (if my grammar makes sense there...). It is unacceptable.

I recently got my younger sibeling to read "certain parts," of Rhapsody to me. We are currently past the point where Rhapsody sang her morning devotions and Grunthor remarks on it.

He actually likes it, jokes about certain parts from time to time. Another being recruited into the SOA universe!

Today I went out and bought my friend Haley two of the Ven Polypheme books (The Floating Island and the Thief Queen's Daughter) since she allowed me to borrow her Breaking Dawn book.

I recently (somehow) got my brother to read the series. He's on Requiem now. After ten years of talking/raving/praising about the series, he finally stole them out of my bookshelf. So I count that as a major win. :D

I got someone at BAM to buy Rhapsody just the other day. He was searching for a particular fantasy author (don't remember which one but I hadn't heard of him), and we only had two of the books from the series, but not the one he wanted. Anyway, when I described the books a bit to him, he decided to buy Rhapsody.

P.S. Congrats of graduating ILA!!! WOOT!!

I convinced my mum. It was hard because she has to read the books in English (which is not her mother language). She hasn't finished Destiny yet but I'm proud of her. It's fine to have an EH fan in my family!
