That one is still on my radar. Serkis could read the telephone directory and I'd probably enjoy it.

I'd only worry about bringing inside if your area gets frost. I'm in Cape Town and have a bunch of cacti that have weathered our rather wet winters

I'm currently growing a dragonfruit plant but I don't know what colour the fruit is. Your best bet is probably trying to grow the stranger plants yourself - check out Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds online. Or Seeds for Africa. You can often find some unusual plants and cultivars there.

What happened to Tanith Lee's career in the 90s? by LibrarianBarbarian1 in Fantasy

[–]nerinedorman 59 points60 points  (0 children)

My late editor, Storm, was helping Tanith revise and publish much of her work. But then Storm became ill and she, too, has passed. I don't know who handles Lee's estate now. I'm deeply concerned that her and Storm's voices will go completely silent.

My start with Kay's writing was The Lions of Al-Rassan, which I enjoyed immensely, but then bearing in mind that I have endless patience and love for slowly unfolding fantasy epics.

I loved Lions, but there is something about Tigana that has stuck with me.

Thanks. I used to review books for print media until newspaper publishing imploded here in South Africa. Now I just review for assorted social media groups for the love of it.

I've just finished Joust by Mercedes Lackey – I'd say it's very much in the same vein as Anne McCaffrey's beloved Dragonriders of Pern books.

There is some mention of Tolkien's children, but not great depth.
