This was in the Yearling box set edition of The Subtle Knife. It doesn't seem to be included in earlier editions of the appendices. It reads:
>Elaine and the boy
>
>The biggest wrench, the greatest sorrow, the most desperate hope, the deepest guilt. I could have made Paradisi cut through in to my own world, and gone home. But we find ourselves pitched into great battles not of our own making, and we cannot turn aside. I must go on. I shall never see my son grow up, never look at his face and feel pride and joy, never see him becoming the man I wish him to be. I could have gone back to them, but then I would not have been the man my son would wish me to be. ~~Neither of us will be ever~~ What must be must be. As for Elaine, ~~the dearest joy~~ ~~there is nothing~~ ~~Elaine cannot begin to~~ I cannot speak.
Can anyone who owns the entire set in this edition confirm whether there's additional material in the other books, too? Here are the full appendices as I transcribed them from an earlier edition.
I think it's the Fear Street Saga Trilogy.
https://www.amazon.com/Betrayal-Fear-Street-Saga-Trilogy/dp/0671868314
I only read the first one (the one that takes place in the 1600s) but I remember loving it. Was honestly one of my favorite RL Stine books back in the day.
No clue why it isn't on eBay for cheaper, but you can get it on Amazon for <$10.
The rarest books are the Seniors books. A fell set recently sold for $500 (which I find sorta ridiculous). The final few Sagas have been going for +$100 each lately.
What about the Fear Street novels? They're YA horror novels written by RL Stein. I read them when I was about her age.
some book covers don't make that much sense until you read the book. in this book, there is a disease that when you get it you detonate and blood goes everywhere, so that the disease can spread. this is an amazon link where you can see the cover
its a really simple deisign, but looks really good
The cover is very pretty. I don't know about scary, but it has its appeal. It's like a less scary version of the first 3-in-1 cover.
I just finished "This Mortal Coil" by Emily Suvada. You can find the description of it here:
https://www.amazon.com/This-Mortal-Coil-Emily-Suvada/dp/1481496336
It's my second favorite book of all time.
IDK what you're looking at but I'm seeing ~$22USD for the trilogy on Amazon.
But yes, it should be available at any large bookstore or library.
Feel like branching out? Trickster's Choice gets written off as kids' stuff, but it's much more sophisticated than most of Tamora Pierce's books. Plus, spies and coups in a fantasy Malaysia, and one main perspective to work from. Plus quips. Lots of quips.
I'd probably pay him in baby seal blubber to put on his meteor alloy armor and compel a movie studio to produce The Subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass, al-fucking-ready!
Yeah, well done. I worry that philosophic might be a lost cause but like you I try to entertain and enlighten the untold hordes of lurkers. The Dark Matter of /r/atheism :)
Speaking of: I just finished His Dark Materials. Very captivating and entertaining read, highly recommended!
If getting people to see Christianity in an atheist light is a mission for you, I'd like to similarly recommend the trilogy His Dark Materials. Captivating fantasy novel, a children's story for adults (but Amazon rates it 12+). More in Wikipedia. It's 1076 pages, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and had trouble putting it down to go to sleep and work.
