Oh yeah! Oh Yeah! here we go again! It will be the 5th time seeing ST Into Darkness! (and I am sure it will not be my last!)
My first view of the book that is a Tribute to Anne McCaffrey was a little disappointing when I first held it in my hand. It’s not a very good sized paperback and the paper wasn’t top quality……. :o( But then I do the ol’ flip the pages and lookey what I found!

Original sketches and painting by Michael Whelan for Anne’s books! *sigh*.. I do love Michael Whelan’s work! It did make me wish this was a tad bigger and a hardback on better paper……… but I’ll take what they offer!

We are mid RIP and I am only on book 3 for RIP so this will wait a little. I am happy to say that I did meet Anne once in NY at a Creation Convention. I will always be glad for that!
Meanwhile, I hope you all have a great Mail Call soon!

Oh, Wow Pat! Those original sketches are amazing, and you met Anne McCaffrey!!! I would have died!! You're soooo lucky. I believe i'm ready for yet another re-read ;)
I saw the dvd in the supermarket, didn't get it but plan to soon.
That book is utterly gorgeous!!! Stunning. Enjoy it, Sis.
Well you're doing better than me! I still haven't finished a single book this month! And you know what? I still haven't seen the new Star Trek!!!! I know...what the hell is wrong with me?! LOL...I'll correct that soon :p
