A suggestion for the 13 yr old..The Ranger's Apprentice series by John Flanagan. If he liked Harry Potter, he will LOVE this series.

It is that. Caro made a fairly liberal adaptation of The Whale Rider too. Least I felt it was fairly liberal. I liked both, though. (Ach, I just noticed that Touchstones don't work in these comments. That's a pity.)

Just dropping by from the 'unread fantasy book' thread. Hello. ^-^ They're turning [The Vintner's Luck] into a movie? That would be such a pretty thing if done right! I didn't know that, so thank you for sharing the information! *goes off to pass it on to the friend who told her about the book in the first place*

I'm back!!! Twice in two days I have gotten your profile when trying to edit mine!

I have just gotten your profile - when trying to edit my tags....

So no the problem doesn't seem to have gone away *sigh8

Have settled things settled down?

Thanks! That profile photo was taken by a friend of mine at the Kelburn Croquet Club last year - it was very sunny, and she insisted that I remove my glasses to avoid getting reflections off them - the resulting photo is much better-looking than me, so I'm now using it in all sorts of places, including as my author photo.

I'm happy to take the problems we're having with LT profiles up with Tim again, and if that doesn't get us anywhere, with TelstraClear - but I'm glad that it seems to be a fairly small proportion of us who are having this problem.

Regards
Tim

I had a quick play last night and it seems to be working fine.

I did have a problem a few days ago - no matter what I tried to add to my library I kept getting [[Theology and God]] as the book. I was too tired and too over it to try and get to the bottom, but I am on TelstraClear as well.

I will have another go and if I am still getting problems I will let you and the NZ Librarythingers know

Indeed I do have this problem - and I am also on TelstraClear clear. I have 'been you' quite often, and several other people as well - all NZers! It affects my profile, and if I click on the "Your profile" tab again, that seems to fix it. I also submitted this as a bug, and didn't get a solution.

If all else fails, in the address for the profile page you're seeing, delete the bit that's wrong e.g. "profile/*senjmito*", and replace the offending part with "fabtk".

Hope this helps! I might start a new topic on New Zealand Thingamabrarians about it - see who else has the problem. (Or you could do this if you wish.)

Regards
Tim

Sorry your problem is not fixed :(. Maybe you can get the paychecks of the other people. There should be an upside to having to be more than one person.

Good Luck.

Thanks so much! I don't own them all because I can't afford to. I am but a poor, broke uni student. :) I do buy them when I have the money though! I take the majority of them out from the library. Wow, you've read a LOT of books! I looked at your library, and realised that I'd read some of them, but I'd forgotten to put them in my library (like Across the Barricades by Joan Lingard)! You have a really good selection! I only started writing in a book journal a few years ago, so there's tons of books I've read and forgotten about. Even when I write in my journal I forget to write books in when I've finished! Oh, and yes I am a nerdfighter! Are you? Anyway, thanks again for the comment- I love getting messages from people! *hinthint*(As opposed to aliens?) Sorry thats just me being random. That happens sometimes. Alot. Anyhoo, I'd love to chat with you about books and suchlike sometime!
