OMFSM YAYS!
Mar. 30th, 2011 10:12 pmThe last book in the Earth's Children series by Jean M. Auel, The Land of Painted Caves, came out yesterday! And the post library is gonna order it as an audiobook (and of course in hardcover because that's how most people read books :P).
The timing is again coincidentally fortuitous. The last time I read the series (and the first), I had just finished the fourth book, The Plains of Passage, when the fifth book, The Shelters of Stone came out. This was right around the time I graduated from high school, in the early summer of 2002.
And now I'm reading it again and *poof!* almost ten years later, the next (and last) book is out!
I got hooked on this series long before I knew what a "Mary Sue" was, and in the re-reading I'm still enjoying it, though also snarking a bit. :P
Anyone else excited for the final installment? And if you're jumping right into it, please, no spoilers. I've just started the first one in my re-reading.
