Readers of The Book Case expressed major excitement when we blogged about the publication of The Land of Painted Caves, the sixth and final book in the Earth’s Children series by Jean M. Auel. (It’s coming March 29, 2011.)
And this weekend USA Today had more news for Auel fans: “On Oct. 6, the series will be released for the first time as e-books; paperback editions will be reissued with new covers next spring.” Note that since the novels are published by Random House, they will not be available in Apple’s iBookstore.
September 30 will be the 30th anniversary of the publication of The Clan of the Cave Bear—the start of a series that has now sold 45 million books worldwide (and certainly inspired this blogger, as a high school student, to stay up late reading). Will you celebrate by re-visiting the story of Ayla, Auel’s protagonist?
Also in BookPage: Read an interview with Auel about The Shelters of Stone, the fifth book in the series.
I read and enjoyed the first four books of the series, as did my husband, but we heard that the fifth book wasn’t as good. Have you read it?
And did you say the 30th anniversary of Clan of the Cave Bear?? Wow, was it really that long ago? I guess I read it in my teens as well!
Thanks for the news –

there are grants for college, but you will need to be within the poverty level to qualify fro them and you also must preserve a very good GPA. There are no grants compensate your bills, only welfare.

No idea how you wrote this post..it would probably take me days. Well worth it though, I’d guess. Have you considered selling advertising space on your site?
