Hey everybody! I'm reading Slaves of Socorro and I REALLY need someone to fangirl (or fanboy) out with. Anybody like to chat?

HIII!!! Bet you never guessed it would be me to post first, huh?

I really like the Brotherband!! Not as much as RA (of course) but I still think they are awesome. Because...well....I love Skandians.

And guess what, Jedi??? They are processing Slaves of Socorro into my library! Super excited!!

Oh hello! Yeah, I like RA more than Brotherband, but Brotherband is still just so FREAKING AWESOME!! John Flanagan, you rock! Oh, that's so exciting! I remember when I ordered it from our library and I was only 2nd in line for it. That made my day. I really can't wait for Scorpion Mountain. DECEMBER 2nd!! Hehe. I'm gonna give my parents the WORST time trying to find that book in bookstores...

I liked the first book, but I didn't care for the second. Maybe I will take another look at it.
We were one in the same, running like moths to the flame. You'd hang on every word I'd say, but now they only ricochet.

Yeah, Gandalfs_Pipe, you should! Oh lucky you, Mareth! I'm on..like chapter 36 I think. It's really good, except Lydia is a jerk. But she's been like that the whole time, so...yeah.

I'm on chapter 22 now. Yay for Gilan!!!

It's my Realm insignia, Jedi. Got it from my Realm Head. She sent me then link to it, and then I simply placed it in the [img] boxes.

Wow. You read fast. I'm on chapter thirty seven now. Oh, 'cause I've been trying to get my realm insignia on there and it won't work. And all my realm leaders won't respond.

Eh...not nearly so fast as my older siblings.

If you have a copy of your Realm insignia, perhaps I'd be able to help you with it.

YAY! Another person agrees with me! Maybe I just think he's so awesome because I am exactly like him in everything he does. Or maybe he's just freaking awesome. I think both. Especially the second. We've gotta start a forum just to talk about Jesper's awesomeness.

Ro: I'll see if my brother has some way of getting it...he's in Orome. If I can find a copy of it, is shouldn't be hard for you to get it in your siggy.

Jesper is cool, yes. I'm still not sure who is my favorite though...they are all pretty awesome.

bummer Cenor. The fourth book was probably my favorite. Probably because of Gil and all the cool Jesper action. Yeah, that's the picture! Thanks Cenor. Am I just supposed to save it to my computer, Mar?

Hit IMG button on post and copy it. Then post it on sig. Then go back and copy the Leaf and go back and post in IMG buttons. That's how I did it.

Sorry, I didn't get around to posting in here...

But I think Cenor did a much better job than I would have explaining it.

Since I have no idea what the "Don't Tread On Me" shirt is (and probably even if I did...) I would say buy the books!!

I would buy the books. THEYRE SO FREAKING AWESOME!! Don't you love it when the Skandians use swords? Especially Hal and Jesper.

I made an oakleaf pendant. It really looks like metal though it's actually foamboard.

I imagined a sort of leaf shaped blade (broad at the hilt then smaller at the point) not some thin blade.

Oh man. Those faces look nothing of how I imagined them. but anyways I think Gilan would win for the first one and the second one...not sure. Stig and Horace are both really good though. Hmm...I guess it all boils down to battleaxe or sword??

Oh my....those faces are nothing like how I see them in my mind...

I don't know as far as the duels go, though.

So, I finally finished Slaves of Socorro last night!! I would have finished it way sooner, but I wasn't reading it all the time...anyways. It was awesome.

Actually some people wanted Horace (by the way I like his picture) and Thorn to face off. Battle master v.s. Maktig. More pics!
