Is anyone else a fan of the Earth's Children's series of books?
Did you know the next one is due for release in March? Anyone else is as excited as I am??? LOL
You can download a sneak peak of the first 3 chapters. Already read them and an now re-reading 'Shelters of Stone' to get me in the mood! :lol:
you mean there's more :lol: might have to put that on my getting longer list of books to read - and I'd be re-reading the whole series - I do that with every series that I own.re-read regularly when a new one comes out
Thanks for that been waiting for news about the date knew it was coming
I read those books as a teenager. Will have to track them down again, thanks for letting us know :D
Wow - no I didn't know - yay!!
29 March and I'm ordering my copy in advance! I saw it printed on the new release Clan of the Cave Bears at Borders.
I'm soooo excited. I remember when the Shelters of Stone came out in 2002, and when the Plains of Passage came out before that in 1990 I didn't sleep until I'd finished them LOL.
Mammoth Hunters was my favourite book.
Where can we get the first 3 chapters Nettie?
Well I'm surprised, I always thought she'd died and that was the end of the story-writing?
wow. i read the first ones yonks ago and just gave up waiting for more
She had a bad stroke thats why the last books have taken sooo long Im just about to dig out my copies and reread for the hundredeth time lol:
great idea! Mine are worn from years of reading so I may even buy a few new copies :):
I found the 3 chapters on line (Crown publishing I think) and have started reading them. So excited!
well I'd have to reread as it's been...gulp...nearly 20 years... I'm old.
Actually I told my husband about the new book...turns out he was the originator of the rumour...insisted she was dead until I googled and showed him the Wikipedia page :lol::
:lol: at you lot! Glad to know I'm not the only fan! I remember when the Plains of Passage came out - I was sooo excited (and still living at home with Mum & Dad) that I bought it instead of paying board that week :hide: Mum and Dad were fans too and forgave me! :lol:
You can find the chapters at the facebook page (if you're on fb) - just search for Jean M Auel in Australia and there's a link on the left side. You have to click a few times to get to the publisher's site where the pages are - but it's worth it!
FWIW Liz - I usually re-read the whole series too (did with most of the Harry Potters too) but not this time. With a 2 year old, I just don't have time! But I am re-reading the Shelters of Stone :)
Just found this gem on her site
A grandmother of 15, Auel says, "I'm still planning to write six books," but now she admits, "I am not 100% sure I can get it all in one more book."
so I wonder if it is the last.
Yay! I love these books. I'm so excited now. Thank you for the heads-up. :think: wonder if I can find time to re-read the others first.
Glad I've spread the news a bit! :)
Excellent tip off Nettie! :clap:
Great kick start Nettie!
So who thinks Ayla's son Durc is going to reappear in this book? I can't work out how he would get to the Caves but after 4 books of her visions of a confrontation between two of her children I wonder whether it will happen. I believe this is the last book too.
I agree Dusty! I reckon there's unfinished business with Broud too... Maybe Ayla astral travels to see them?? :dunno:
One more sleep to go :leap:
