50 Book Challenge: Books 16-17

There had to be some rereads sooner or later: Heir to the Shadows and Memory. Two series I'm forever rereading, and these two just jumped up and begged to be read this week. I'm kind of impressed that it's nearly mid-March and I'm only just adding in the first of those. I'll have to look at last year's entries to see when the first re-reads came ( Read more... )

Yeah, those are pretty far along in the Valdemar series, probably not good ones to start with. I'm willing to bet you'd love the Last Herald Mage trilogy. Ooh, and the Elemental Mage series is definitely up your alley: set in this world (England actually) with human-nonhuman interaction. Bardic Voices also has the human-nonhuman interaction, but I'm not sure if it's its own 'verse or shares one with Valdemar. If two separate 'verses had "Cataclysms," that's a little odd.

Oh, the table? Just plain old html. The relevant tags are (with square brackets so they'll show, but you'd use pointy, of course) [table][/table] to start and end the table, [tr][/tr] to start and end rows, [th][/th] for table headers, and [td][/td] for table data.

So the code to make this table

heading 1heading 2heading 3
row 1 datarow 1 datarow 1 data
row 2 datarow 2 datarow 2 data

looks like this

[table]
[tr][th]heading 1[/th][th]heading 2[/th][th]heading 3[/th][/tr]
[tr][td]row 1 data[/td][td]row 1 data[/td][td]row 1 data[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]row 2 data[/td][td]row 2 data[/td][td]row 2 data[/td][/tr]
[/table]

If you want borders between the table cells, you can establish that in the opening tag for the table. I generally use [table cellpadding="5" cellspacing="5" border="5"], which would make the same table look like this

heading 1heading 2heading 3
row 1 datarow 1 datarow 1 data
row 2 datarow 2 datarow 2 data

But for this chart I wanted it to look like parallel lists rather than separate cells, so I left that part out.

Are those older books, newer books? I'll have to look around for them! Yay human-non human!
