AW: [Mercedes-Lackey] Welcome to the Newbies and ..

[Racheal Patterson]

All this talk of books makes me want to read a new book by Mercedes. Since I just got to a point in my schooling where I do not have to overbook myself with classes I might just head to the library and see what I can find that I have not read yet. My favorite by Mercedes has to be the first trilogy I read The Last Herald Mage. I was 12 and I found it in a second hand store. My dad bought it for me and my parents were in a real messy divorce. For a while I did not read them because they were worn out when I got them and was scared they would break and I knew I would not see my dad for a while. Finally curiousity won out and I was surprised! But loved it.Racheal, "Every act of creation is an act of love!" Catherine Faber
