In book 23’s reread there was a little tangent on Cassie books being isolated, unincorporated into canon, and/or basically being worthless. So I went investigating. Disclaimer: I named my cat Cassi when I was 10 because my name is Rachel and this was a logical idea (and I didn’t like the spelling with the ‘e’). I don’t hate Cassie, but I do roll my eyes at her a lot. I’m trying to be unbiased here, to use a reader’s and a writer’s perspective, and generally try not to let my fangirl/history major/bio minor selves take over. I did not read all of these books; I skimmed them, and I will try not to let my rambling turn into stuff that should be saved for the rereads.

Aaaand... discuss.

Animorphs on Amazon

Okay, not to spam, but I'm trawling Amazon to replace my falling apart collection, and behold:

VHS's of the TV series, anyone? Or mayhaps a poster?

I totally forgot there was so much merch. Like card/board games and video games.

This stuff is expensive. o_o No, I do not want to pay $999.99 for a copy of book 6, even though I need one.

Sorry Marco....

I had to post that...been wanting to ever since I saw it a couple days back.

Animorphs Wish List

[animorphfanatic.livejournal.com]

Just an idea, for those of us scanning FOL and other places for Animorphs books to collect, re-collect, or finish the series - maybe we should network. My local FOL is going to be closed until around New Year's Day, but I walk in there and sometimes there are quite a few Animorphs books, particularly after FOL book drives/fares.

There were three copies of The Capture and two of The Stranger, for instance, amongst some others - I managed to get The Underground and The Illusion. Being dollarless the week before I missed out on getting The Pretender. And this is without even checking other local libraries.

So if we network and know what books other people are looking for, we could swap - either trade when someone has a book in their area that you're looking for and vice versa, or just get the book for its cost and postage.

I've managed to get really lucky through FOL at times, but if I know what other books people are looking for there could definitely be some helping out in that regard. They're never in really bad shape or anything either (especially comparing them to my Amazon experience...).

Also, I believe I have duplicates of The Secret and I know I have two of The Departure.
