I havent been in AFE for ages... :/ I really should stop doing actual
'work' at work and start doing 'actual' work instead :D
Well I was inducted to the love of all things Edd at the tender age of
9 when my aunty gave me a copy of PoP to keep me quiet... it took me
all day to read 2 chapters :/ (it will be easier for you all if you
understand I am only 23 in June this year :D)
But since then I have delved (and quite often disappeared) into books
by the classic Terry Pratchett, Anne McCaffrey (particular the Dragons
of Pern and Rowan books), JKR, Terry Brooks but only the Shannara
books, Sarah Ash(?) and a series of books I cannot remember the name
of and last but not least, the seemingly never-ending Wheel of Time
books...
So, as we all aint been in AFE for ages... how we all doing? what we
all doing? and be honest, who has a reserved copy of the last Harry
Potter book?
Missed you all...
