In honor of brevity and short form literature, I bring you laconic poetry! Also known as the 5-7-5 haiku. The haiku makes way more sense in Japanese BTW. And if you're feeling inspired, I challenge you to pick up Moira's Pen yourself and write a haiku for Megan!

Also, sign the card before she sees!

And no, not the country on the little peninsula, US! It's been 17 delightful years since this site was created and, boy, has it been a long-lived and welcoming place.

You all probably already know how I feel about [livejournal.com profile] sounis and you all. Such friendly, smart people! Who love the same books!

There are other Queen's Thief places to visit, including MWT's Tumblr and the Geninsula on Discord, but my heart always comes back to you, [livejournal.com profile] sounis. And now we have a brand new book to read!

Happy Birthday!

Don't forget to add your email to the list we're creating of Sounis members. Just in case something happens to Livejournal or our site. Just message me here on LJ or email me at checkers65477 AT yahoo.com. Only [livejournal.com profile] ninedaysaqueen and I will hang onto the list so no worries about security.

We've made it to the end of our rereading of Return of the Thief. Join us in Conspiracy Room on Sunday Nov. 7 as we discuss Volume Two Chapters 10-14 + Alyta's Missing Earrings. And, of course, all the usual discussion fodder--food, what we're reading, etc. etc.

Oh, and that we just celebrated the 16th Anniversary of this little slice of heaven, [livejournal.com profile] sounis.

You can find the password for the Conspiracy Room HERE. Time of the chat:

4pm Pacific Time
5pm Mountain Time
6pm Central Time

A couple weeks ago, I asked everyone, if you could write a quote for the dust jacket cover of Return of the Thief, what would it be? We got some pretty fun reponses!

Happy Birthday, Megan! Never ask us to write a quote for your books... Quick, sign the card before she sees!

*I had to reword some of the longer quotes to make them fit, but I tried my best to keep your intent the same. ;)

Our little [livejournal.com profile] sounis community is all grown up. 15 years old, can you believe it?? We're old enough to act surly and roll our eyes, tear up our army enrollment papers, and go searching for Hamaithes' Gift.

This community formed just before King of Attolia was published and has remained active pretty steadily over the years. With the publication of the last book in the series, this may be sort of a last hurrah for us, although I think we'll be talking about RotT for quite awhile yet.

As a tribute to [livejournal.com profile] sounis, I thought there'd be no better words than what Megan said in the virtual author visit last week. Here's a transcript from the part of her talk that touched on the dedication in RotT.

Today I was given* a bookmark, which has on it a book I rather thought Eugenides might be interested in!



(Tove Janson’s ‘Moominmama’ reading How to build an empire)

This left me wondering, though...

1. What would Gen think of bookmarks?
(Yes, I know, they have scrolls. But bookmarks are small, precious, slip easily into pockets … perfect for Gen!)

2. What is MWT’s favourite bookmark?
(A big leather fob with ‘Not Telling’ embossed on it, I’m guessing ;P )

3. What are your favourite bookmarks? And why?
(Go on, photos...!)

*It’s my birthday.

Psst...Megan's birthday is on Thursday. Quick, sign the card and wish her a happy birthday before she sees!

Some people take MS Word class to get jobs. I took it to make MWT cards.

Aw, our little Sounis corner of the world is 14 years old! Let's celebrate by barking the Happy Birthday song like sheepdogs! It's sure to annoy Ornon.

Happy Birthday Suz

It seem like forever ago that Rowana and Eddis got together and dreamed up a place to talk about our favorite books. As the Queen's Thief series grew, [livejournal.com profile] sounis turned into a fun place full of smart, kind readers from all over the world, and marked the beginning of some life-long friendships, both online and in real life.

Raise your glass of unwatered wine and repeat after me, "Happy Birthday, Sounis, and many, many more to come!"

(Disclaimer: these aren't actual Sheepdogs. They are, however, shepherd dogs who would like to herd Ornon's sheep. If only he had any, alas. Anyway, it's harder than you'd think to find a gif of a sheepdog in a birthday hat.)

Our Livejournal baby is a teenager! And hopefully not a complaining, eye-rolling, smart aleck teen like Gen was.

Happy 13th birthday, Sounis! It's been a wonderful, fantastic 13 years--so far--spreading the QT love and discussing with all you crazy fans. Let's celebrate with all the Goatfoots out there.

You get a poem too, in honor of Kamet's poems.

I know you're not suppose to string together limericks like this, but I can do anything I want! You'll notice a few fandom references. I have no shame.


Beware Birthday Poetry )

Happy Thanksgiving week, everyone!

Ornon's sheep are wishing Sounis a Happy 12th Birthday!!!


Who would have thought that this community would still be around twelve years
after this epic post?

In honor of [livejournal.com profile] sounis 's birthday tell us, people, what do you want to see in the next, final book? Nothing is too over-the-top, crazy, or fan-service-ish. Tell us your ideas, reprobates! What do you hope happens?

I am super late to the Our Thief is 20 party, but better late than never, right?

The cake I chose to make was Greek Honey Cake, from food.com's website. The ingredients included honey and orange, both which are found in TT. Here's what I did.
Honey! Oranges! Wine! Tiny hooks! )

Honestly, this cake was way too sweet for me. I love baklava and was hoping it would taste like an easier version. Alas, it's not a recipe I'd make again. But Happy Belated Birthday anyway, Gen. Stick to your honey and oranges in their original form, as you breakfast with the Magus, Pol, and the Uselesses.

[livejournal.com profile] sounis is 11 years old, and Ornon's sheep are dancing!

Eleven years ago today Queen [livejournal.com profile] rowana and the elusive [livejournal.com profile] eddis started up this wonderful community, while we were waiting very impatiently for Harper Collins to finish knitting The King of Attolia. So much has happened over the past 11 years. We've grown up and grown older while getting to know other QT fans around the world who love Megan's books and want to share questions, answers, and insanity with others.

Sounis members have come and gone over the years. Some of us have been around since the beginning, and others are brand new. What has never changed is that this online community welcomes everyone. We're the nicest fan community out there!

So, whether you're a oldie or a newbie, it's time for introductions! Leave a comment and tell us

  1. How long you've been a [livejournal.com profile] sounis member

  2. A little about yourself, including where you live (country, continent, city, anything is fine)

  3. How you found Megan's books

  4. Which book is your favorite

  5. Why you love the books with the heat of 1000 suns

  6. Something you *hope* happens in Thick As Thieves


Or, anything you want to share. C'mon folks! It's been quiet around here for too long. Let's hear from you. Happy Birthday to us!

I was trying to figure out when I first read Thief so I looked up the publication date -- October 1 1996!

We should have a party!!!

Hey everyone!!

Guess what today is? It's Miss Megan's birthday! Y'all know what that means - time to sign the birthday card (so sorry I didn't get this up a day early as I usually do, having major tech issues)

So without further ado, here's the card -

Happy Birthday! )

Edited to add:[livejournal.com profile] filkferengi let me know that the image isn't loading, so if you're having trouble, you can view the card on my Tumblr page (Megan has lots of fans on Tumblr in case anyone here is also a Tumblr user)
