Love these! Great books, great icons :)

[theflyingace.livejournal.com]

thanks :) they are great books.

taking 5,7, and 12 for possible future use. i'll credit when/if i use them. but these are great! i've read some of them (all the ender books, old and new, the homecoming series, enchantment, some of the alvin maker books), and heard of most, but was wondering if you could tell me about "robota" and "treason"?

[theflyingace.livejournal.com]

thanks :)

robota's actually fairly new. it's illustrated by Doug Chiang, and the text is by Orson Scott Card. not many people know about it, though. i found it a very good book, to look at and read. here's (http://www.hatrack.com/osc/books/robota.shtml) more.

treason is, i believe, the first book published by him. it was originally called "a planet called treason". i don't want to give any spoilers though, so you can look at more about it here (http://www.hatrack.com/osc/books/treason.shtml).

I've actually only read like half a book by OS Card, but my brother has read quite a few. If you don't mind my emailing him the dragon, I've got it. And will use it here & at GJ. and will credit. :D

[theflyingace.livejournal.com]

alright. enjoy :)

[afufle.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :D

BTW, what's the difference between 7. & 8.? Does one have a transparent background?

[conuly]

That's exactly it, number 8 is transparent. You know how you highlight text? If you highlight the images, it's easy to see which ones are transparent... the clear parts turn darker than they would if they lacked transparency.

[theflyingace.livejournal.com]

oo cool. i never knew you could do that

yeah, #8 is transparent

[afufle.livejournal.com]

Okie-dokie! You learn something new every day. Well, I'm going to snag #8, too. These icons are so cool, I may read the books someday. :D Thanks, conuly and theflyingace.

[conuly]

I think I'll take 8 too.

[theflyingace.livejournal.com]

okay :)

[theflyingace.livejournal.com]

okay. you're welcome :) you should read them!

[bambi-chan.livejournal.com]

i doubt you'll read this...but...i'd like to use #12 and it's going to be on one of my other journals...so i'll thank you for them right here...since this is the most recent posting of them...

#7

[oboros.livejournal.com]

The Enemy Gate Is Down!!!

That is my favorite line in that book!!! Will credit, of course!!!

Re: #7

[theflyingace.livejournal.com]

you can take whichever one you want, but just for clarification, #7 isn't the one with that line. #7 is Petra's Dragon. Maybe you meant #12?

Re: #7

[oboros.livejournal.com]

oops. Yes I meant 12. =)

[therespollux.livejournal.com]

Not to be too picky but wasn't it "The Enemy's gate is down"? And Speaker is Speaker FOR the Dead, not of the dead. He speaks for them:)

Great icons, though. So good to see these and very well done!

[theflyingace.livejournal.com]

you seem to be right. i didn't have my books with me when i made these and i suspected those two were wrong, but i figured it didn't matter much. but, i've corrected them anyway, just for the sake of being accurate :)

[akahowl.livejournal.com]

Great icons! I took #12. Thank you!

[theflyingace.livejournal.com]

hokay. thanks :)

[mystee-sunrise.livejournal.com]

So...I'm taking #7 and will credit. :) And I'm very late.

[raven-moon.livejournal.com]

These are wonderful! I am surprised though, to not see Hart's Hope. That is still my favorite of Card's books. But I am snagging a couple of these, esp. Songmaster... Thanks!
