I also want to thank who ever put up that new ranger's apprentice picture, very dramatic!! I hope all members are able to put up pictures because I at the moment can not. :(

Well my favorite series is The Hobbit/LoTR and I am probably much older the the rest of you (check out my profile) I did not read the books till 2000 but really love them.
Now I also love Harry Potter- have read all the books & watched all the movies repeatedly! Also love, Narnia, Redwall, The Inheritance & The Spiderwick Chronicles !
LoTR is my favorite though! 8^)

I did the ranger's apprentice, thought I would look for a good picture of it and found that one!

And yes I am very excited to be part of this group, thanks for inviting me!

If you love series and have an opinion you can definetely be part of this group!! I'll send you an invitation and can't wait to here your thoughts on all the Harry potter debates we have going on!!

Well good work, it seems like you have a very artistic eye!! You and swimfreak can work together to be the group "photographers"!!

Sound cool :)

The question is will you be able to handle the challenge?? Jk I bet you guys will come up with some great book covers or book related photos to post. :)

Since there hasn't been alot of chatting going on for a while, some members brought this "lull" to my attention. To all members to help bring our group back to life I ask you help out where you can. For example posting is an idea. Also putting some new pictures you might like!! So stay active and keep reading!!

Well. I just joined :D And I promise to be active....soooo....

I know we all are pretty busy during the summer but I couldn't let our tradition of welcoming new members stop during our group "break". So i would like to welcome debara and Nica23 to the best group on librarything!! :) Welcome and happy summer to everyone!!

this is like one of the only group that i belong to that is active. love this group :)

haha im in like 2 others that are REALLY active i have a hard time keeping up lol.

i dont have a hard time in the summer. its when school starts that it gets a little harder

thats true. but im in the hogwarts express (like several other members on here) and someone is on there like every 5 minutes....

i like it that way though. i would rather have a ton of messages waiting for me than to have none at all.

i guess....

Hey guys!!
I am super happy to welcome 5 new members!! So welcome to read_books, theadawn, naturalb, Caryn.Rose, and ColoradoRain!! Welcome all and we hope you guys love the group as much as the rest of us!!

I feel so welcomed here, mrmcfluff. :)

Ur welcome cheery!
And it's true, everyday is a party with us.

Yeah, I so agree with you.

we're very party-like, lol

*sam throws confetti in the air* whoohoo!

aaaah sam u got confetti in my hair!!!! this took hours! hours, i tell u! :) jk

hehehehehehe :) now its all sparkle sparkle :p

haha good thing i like sparkles

you can never have too much sparkle....or at least thats what my majorette coach says lol

lol ♥

I know of a friend who chose "anything that sparkles" as a theme for her debut party. It turned out to be the shiniest night in her whole life!

OMG that sounds fun!!! i ♥ sparkkllleess

...were there vampires?

-.- Twilight half ruined sparkly things.

haha that made me giggle. :)

hahahahahhahahahaha me too :) and no not vampires.. just innocent confetti.... tainted by the astounding popularity of vampire romance novels.../

hahahaha!!! Seriously, why didn't I think of that! That was really good:)

:) thanks.... im always inferior to those who are actually amusing in reality, so i try to be funny online, lol

Hey guys,
I don't know how many of you have looked at the groups picture gallery, but we haven't added a new picture in months. So if you guys want to add some new pictures that would be awesome!! I also wanted to ask you guys, because I don't want to change anything without asking you first. Do you guys still like the primary picture of the group, or do you think we should change it??

I like it but something new might be fun.

Dually noted, thank you mariah

How do you add a picture in your post?

you can get an online one through a link (see tom felton lovers) or a personal one through photobucket, i think, but i havent mastered that, i just put them on my profile and have my friends look :)

and i agree with mariah, lets change it up a little...

Ok Sarah.
I'm not saying we are going to change it yet. But would some people volunteer to post some pictures for other members to look at and vote on a new primary pictures??
Do we have any volunteers??

i just posted two more

Awesome sarahy!!

Maybe if we get some more volunteers we could make a competion out of it??

that would be fun... i will be a competitor!

Lol no doubt.
If anyone else might want to post for the primary picture, message me, or just post it right here.
We want to make sure we give Sarahy a LOT of competion. :)

noooooo hahaha kidding....

i like competition

Hello members!!
Today I am excited to welcome 3 new members: Phoenix718, daywise000, and Taversden! We all hope you guys enjoy yourselves in the group, and will be active members!!

hi everyone!

Hello. I am Eris. Tremble, ye lowly mortals.

Hi, I'm Cherry!!!:)

Hey Cherry! Good to see you here!

hi everyone!!!!

#91- i refuse to be called a lowly mortal. as if you are anything more. *shakes head*

Sarah, I think it was funny. Seriously Eris, you really do know how to create "unforgettable lines." I particularly loved the line that has something to do with camels, fleas and armpits:P

Hello every one!!
As you have probably noticed we have broken a huge number in th "series" group history.... 51 members!!
That is so awesome, and a very special thanks to Eris, Fob, Dobby, Theamwriter, matiiikaaa, Winky, and Kreacher. A total of 7 new members!! 3 of which are house elfs so I think they should count for two members. :)
Anyway, so exciting and don't forget to keep inviting more people!!
Good bye, and may the odds be ever in your favor!!

Omg guys!!
If you haven't seen already we are on the group main page!! That is so awesome!!

I noticed! Looking good, mrmcfluff!

Hello members!!
We have 2 new members to welcome, Rosabella and jmeyers!! Welcome guys and we hope you are happy and active in the group!!

Hallo!! (German)
Today we are welcoming 2 members to our group. Lily and Kat.McNye!! So welcome welcome and we hope you guys are active and very happy here!!

One more thing I just realized with that last message we have reached 100 messages in this topic!! Sorry not that big a deal just wanted to point it out.

Ahhh something else I just noticed (I am so observant today) with the addition of our 2 new members we have hit a big number...55!! That is so awesome guys, so make sure we keep inviting people and spreading the word about our series group !!

you are quite observant, mrmcfluff

Thank you thank you.

i'm observant too. it earns me points in the Hogwarts Castle.

Hello hello!!
All members please welcome our two new members, jaziwaite and nyula!! Hope you both enjoy our group and are active!!

With our newest additions we now have 60 members!! Good job everyone that is so awesome!!

Congrats, mrmclfuff! Your group is gaining little feathery wings and taking off! :D

Fly little birdie fly, flyyyyyyyy.......

This is definitely not my group, this group could have not taken off without the contribution of each and every member. Congrats to all of us!!

Fly little birdies fly, flyyyyyyyyy.......

Thank you for the adjustment fob.

BIRDIES HAVE FLOWN! BIRDIES HAVE FLOWN!!!

Yes yes the birdies have finally soared through the sky.

And the unicorns. And ponies.

Nice touch Eris.

mmhmmmmmm haha we are strange

can some dogs fly too?

Not that I know of.

Hello everyone. My name is Leah, but you can call me magelet. I am a very opinionated person, so please respect my opinions, and I promise to respect all your opinions in turn. I love to read anything I can get my hands on. Please, if you think I might like a book, tell me about it! I am always looking for more books to read.

Hey there magelet! Welcome to the group! :)

Thanks, Fob!

hi magelet! join the party!

Thanks Sarahy. Are you Latina? Because a lot of Latina girls are named that.

BTW: I added a new pic. One of me in my car.

hmm. not latina. but sarah is an insanely popular name where i am... i figure it helps hide my identity :)

With the additions of our new members: hyper13, kekelow, collenxcore, Fivezenses, Acacia11, Alex123456789, Kamykazee, magelet87, TheInkEater, taz1030, 16AnnabelleC, and AresofAmbition we have reached over 70 members!! Thank you to everyone for inviting new people and all the members hope the "newbies" ;) will enjoy themselves in the group.

I convinced AresofAmbition to join - he's my brother. :) You should have seen his face when I showed him the picture of Voldy wearing pink robes.

I know, it's pretty powerful.

And inspiring...

Did you photoshop that picture or are they all really wearing pink?

I call photoshop!

I got it off the internet. Google is another powerful thing.
Yes it was photoshoped. I have seen the original photo and it is not as epic as the mean girls one.

wheres the pic? how have i not seen this!? haah

E.P.I.C. added a great pic my friend drew me.

This masterpiece of voldemort in pink is my profile picture.

yay! im glad Im in this group!

Great to hear flan.
Is it cool to call you flan for short??

hahah love the pic!

YES! ANYONE, FEEL FREE TO CALL ME FLAN AT ANYTIME BECAUSE ITS SOOOOOO MUCH BETTER THAN FLANNERY! (shorter too)

HI FLAN! WELCOME TO THE GROUP! :)

is flannery your real name? thats unique.

Welcome, Flan. Do you know what 'flan' is from where I come from? It's a custard/caramel desert! Are you sweet, then?

Oh, God, I love flan! I make a pretty kick arse one myself. *stares dreamily off into space* Mmmmmmmm. Flan.

My mom taught me how to make it from scratch. I love it. It is heaven. *joins Eris in staring dreamily off into space*

wow, thanks for the input on my name... now:

1. yes my real name is flannery, but its not THAT great. every time someone asks me my name it goes:
" whats your name?"
" flannery"
" what?"
"FLAN- ER- E"
" flagerchree?" ( or some variation of the sort)
" no, flannery, thats F-L-A-N-N-E-R-Y"
" oooooooh, Flaaannnerrryyy, well, thats a pretty name."

2. yes, I have had flan, and its great I agree. I had some in a restaurant in boston once( I love to travel) and my siblings were, umm, really , uh, funny, they were all "Hey, thats cannibalism!"
whatever.

3. and no, I have never attempted to actually make it, I don't believe that I trust myself with that!
4. magelet87: yes, thank you very much.
man, my fingers hurt

Well, your name is very pretty. Sometimes the names that are the most difficult to pronouce for people end up being the prettiest. Me, I know how to pronounce your name because of Flannery O'Connor, who was a writer. It's an Irish name. :)

I love Irish names. They have such personality behind them.

well, it does mean redhead which I am totally not! go figure

So your not a Weasley??

Get it... Because your not a red head.
I'm so funny during the holidays.

oooooh, got it, nope Im not! ( but I do intend to follow in percy's footsteps to be the most pompous prefect Gryffindor house has ever had!)

i object to that.. but flannery is a pretty name :)

thanks! are you a fellow gryf?

She is indeed. :)

thanks um for that , eris......

If any of our new members care to add some new pictures to the group profile that would be so awesome. We haven't had a new one in quite a while.

Sure! Ill try to find a good one. then, how do I add it?

You can ask Sarahy, she is the group photographer.

I just added a new picture. Tell me what you think of it!!

I saw the two new pictures. Funny stuff. Who put them up??

Flan put them up.

ya I did

Good job flan!! There very cool. And slightly on the sarcastic side which makes for more of an interesting funny picture.

thanks- I love sarcastic pics
Bye everyone! I will be unreachable for the next few days!!!!-- Xmas vacay!

Okay, Flannery (sorry, I like using your full name :P), have a wonderful vacation and Merry Christmas!

Well well its that time again for me to announce the shattering of a new number with the additions of our newest members. We must give a special thanks to Mary-Loo_4, hnagra, SusannaF, ArmyAngel1986, EN_Watkins, myeclecticbooks, brie867, Sunshinetonya, flanreader101, and BethanyS for all joining our group. We have now broken 80 members and our new goal is 90!!

um, Fob, I joined last year, In AUGUST my friend. That was a very, very long time ago. I'm not exactly new member, am I?

Huh? What did Fob say?

he said " our newest members"

Thanks for the welcome. :)

That wasn't Fob, that was mrmcfluff. And she was meaning new members to her group, not to LibraryThing.

ooooh, sorry, I didn't read it right every one pardon my mistake at this time *everyone forgets flannery's cyber-constipation*
ok, thank you for that warm welcome mrmcfluff!!

*sigh* of course, everyone blame Fob. That's what he's here for anyway... Just kidding! There's no need to apologize Flan! Everyone makes mistakes.

That's all right, Flannery! Don't worry - we've all had our fair share of booboos on the internet, and trust me, mine have been worse. :) We're all glad you're here at the group!

Sorry for the confusion Flan.
I just always like to welcome everyone officially even if we already did informally.

thanks everyone!

mrmcfulff, call me slow, but is your username supposed to be like Mr. McFluff?

i just picked up on that.

Me too. I used to pronounce your name Mermincluff. Don't know why. :P

haha i always said it like MerMicfluff

Oh dear. I've never thought of the name as Mr. McFluff. I've always thought mrmcfluff was a girl... *hides head in shame*

Haha I love how we are all discussing my username so intently. I don't care how you guys pronounce/type it. I probably am going to get a new account soon so we will see what my new username is.

But are you a guy? Or have I been correct in my assumption that you are a gal? You don't have to answer, I am just very embarrased about not seeing the Mr. McFluff. :(

Mr.mcfluff was always how I said it, or more accurately, thought it

That works for me flan. :)

i never even considered that you were a guy. huh...i guess it doesnt matter though? so will you solve the mystery or let us wonder? haha

pleeees ?????

I'm going to make you guys wait in agony until I decide to tell you. The mystery continues... :)

Oh, well, I'm just happy to see that you gave Mockingjay two stars. :D

That I did indeed.

What did you think of it?

its a love/hate relationship...

I feel that it was not the finale that the first book and second books deserved. Over all it was okay, not the worst book I ever read, but a let down.

it was my fav of the series. :)
and i decided that you are guy. haha

Are you kidding? I LOVED Mockingjay! Especially the ending.

I probably do have to re read it. Just to make sure I don't like it. :)

the ending was TERRIBLE!!!!! she kills coin, goes in solitary confinement, goes crazy, and is all sad at the end!!
Like I said, 2 broken people in a broken world

Maybe we should continue this conversation in the "Mockingjay" topic.
We definetly need to keep talking about this. We also need to have someone reread it and tell us all why it was so bad. :)

can do!!!

anyone else notice that we are one member away from 100? that's pretty awesome!!

Yeah! :D

I'm gonna invite a random person to join!

Or I could invite one of my alternative accounts to join. :D

true, true

I think I'll do that! Everyone, keep a look-out - one of my multiple personalities is joining in 3... 2... 1.

There. How's that? Of course, you can invite other members to join as well, but now it's a pretty 100. :)

wow... ok Eris

Wait Eris, is this your second account? Because if it is you've had it for a long time!

Yep. That was my first account that I ever made on LibraryThing, back in June of 2010. I didn't do a lot on it, though. I hardly commented and eventually I stopped logging on. Then one day, on a whim, I made my ErisofDiscord account, joined Hogwarts Castle (also on a whim) and boom! Suddenly I'm addicted.

I know right? I joined just thinking that this was some site for book suggestions. I diet even know that you could comment or anything!!

I learned about it while looking at book reviews on my public library system website. It said all the reviews came from a website called librarything. I wanted to see if I could write reviews for my library so I joined! :)

That is so awesome we have 100 members now!! Good job every body and keep inviting all your friends and enemies if you wish.

And mulitiple personalites!

if you have some... which I don't

I have the soul of Dobby living in my brain. :D

Of course you do Fob....
