Are any of my old apprentices out there. If you are, please write me. My addresses got erased by my service, because I was over limit. Van did not realy know what 'Lendel had planned. He did not ever think that they were even going to get close to the place, as it was a fortnight away. I haven't read the book in a while, so I may be wrong. I will write the bondbird list here soon, so keep an eye out.

Is Gwena groveborn? My friends told me she was, and by that time I hadn't read AofQ for about three months so i took their word for it. But I was in Tahoe with a friend who had just started the Arrows series. She was stopped at the end of the chapter to tell me that Elspeth finally was chosen (she had been begging me to tell her if Elspeth would ever get chosen over dinner and I refused to tell her.) I said, yes by Gwena the groveborn. She said that Gwena was not grove born, and read that part out loud to me to prove it: Talia remembered Gwena as a shy companion. I told this to one of my friends and she said that Rolan put thatmemory in Talia's mind, but Gwena was grove born and it said so in the winds series. I just finished it and don't remember it saying anything about that. Anybody have an answer?

Message-ID: <19970811.110820.3662.6.ysara-+AT+-juno.com> Icesong- anything about libras in there? I'm curious. Happy Birthday to everyone I missed! Sorry, I've been *busy* as in up to my neck in work. July kids- Marshmallow sheep w/moonstone eyes-I like moonstone better than pearl, and alexandrite is too expensive. August- grape sheep with peridot eyes-gotta love purple and green! You think you're alone? Try October 13! Ok... here's the list: Male: Vanyel Kero's man (what was his name again?) Jadrek An'Desha Stefen/Tylendel Karal and Skif are close behind!!! + Van's teacher -+AT+- Forst Reach that turned out to be cool female: Kerowyn Savil Kethry/Tarma Natoli Elspeth Non-human: Y'fandes Warrl Altra Need Kal'enel Fave books: The Ascent of Man by Jacob Bronowski The Dream of the Stone by Christina Askounis The LHM Trilogy by Mercedes Lackey A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engel The Devil's Arithmetic by Jane Yolen What about Exiles by Melanie Rawn? I loved it!!! BTW, didn't Lady Treesa have lapdogs..? Sorry for all the unconnected messages, but I dialed in today to receive almost 400 messages...:() About kal'enel and vkandis being consorts, I agree- those were my first thoughts when I read the book. Anna- about cover art- Jody Lee does most of the cover art in US, and I think its great! *****Savil WOULD win!!!!***** Isn't there a quote... maybe a Shin'a'in proverb about a guy being big and dumb, hitch to plough when horse dies... from V&H??? Prince Ravnos, I have a quote for you... "If only closed minds came with closed mouths...." I quite agree with you... Starsong- about eyecolor- I think that sometimes our moods can affect our bloodflow thus the change in color.... a person in a certain mood might wear a certain color.... Sorana- I seem to remember something mentioned in SW about blue and silver tunics or accents depending on rank...sorry, no textevd Issica- I think the grim reaper on the cover is a means of foreshadowing. Well, that's all for today. to conclude with the rest of someone else's quote (sorry, couldn't resist) "Now I walk in beauty. Beauty is before me. Beauty is behind me, above and below me...." =) I happily sing along Shana-Ysara ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 10 Aug 1997 23:31:23 -0400 (EDT) From: SEANSQ-+AT+-aol.com To: mercedes-lackey-+AT+-herald.co.uk Subject: Re:Turning off the LIGHT SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If many are as careful as I am, they won't even download it. There is no way of knowing if it contains any virus or other bug which could cause real damage to one's computer. However, some people's systems don't allow selective downloading and they are at the mercy of this type of posting. In addition, this type of posting puts too much of a drain on the list processor and puts the very existance of this list in jeopardy. There is also nothing in the title of this post that connects it to Misty"s list at all. If that is the case, that would be the second reason it should not have been posted. If you have come across something you want to share with the list and it is very big, ask someone to put it on their web page and then publicize the site ( like I did with the Owlflight review). That way no one is hurt.
