Heureka! Found the purpose!

[wiseheart]

I've been wondering for quite some time what the hell I should do with the telekis_vendiak community, since none of our former students seemed to be interested in it. Okay, I used it to experiment with various LJ-styles, but honestly, that's not reason enough to keep an otherwise useless community.

But today, the inner light bulb finally got on: I'll turn it into a reading recommendation site. I read (and even write) in so many fandoms, and sometimes I find wonderful pieces that I'd love to share with other people but never had the right forum for it. Now I have.

From now on, the place is called "Soledad's Recommendations", but I'm ready and willing to share it with your guys. If you have a good story that you'd like to point out to others, go on, post a rec to the community.

Current story count: 4 Stargate - Atlantis stories (two of them friends-locked), 2 Brother Cadfael stories, 1 Houston Knights series (friends-locked), 1 Silmarillion rec (ithilwen's Maedhros series), 3 Space: Above and Beyond stories and 4 13th Warrior stories, the last one of them friends-locked because of its explicit content.

I'm qute happy with the whole idea. Finally, I'll have all my favourites in one place and easily accessible. Go me!

Yes, it's a wonderful series. I only lack one of the 20+ novels yet, but have high hopes to get it one day. altariel1 has hunted down two others for me that I lacked just recently. *g*

Aside from the medieval mystery and the historic parts of it, for me, as a former member of a convent that was based on Benedictine spirituality, the books are a very special delight tor ead.

Yes, they would be for you. You'd get depths from them I can only glimpse. The books are very hard to get here, I've read about 9, and have 3 ex library books, which appear to be the only source.

I might get doubles, as I've ordered them repeatedly. Do you want the extra copies sent to you?

[jilba.livejournal.com]

Yes please, but only if you will accept payment!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Well, no doubles have arrived just yet - although they will, I'm sure of that. You can pay in "writer's currency", when they are here. :))

[jilba.livejournal.com]

Are you sure that's what you want?

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

I'm positive. If they arrive, I'll have the choice to bring them to a second-hand bookshop, which will pay practically nothing for them, or to make a friend happy - it's really not so hard to choose, now is it? :))

*nods* If the situation were reversed, I'd choose to make the friend happy too...so thanks very much in advance!
