I'm sad to see the length of time between uploads. I hope all is well and I get a notification of one soon. This whole series is amazing and I own them all in print. I may have to purchase them again from Audible. I hate leaving things till later. I have no patience. lol Hoping all is well with you and yours and thank you for the work done.

@@JanicePhillips strange as the entire book was uploaded a year ago. Happy listening.

Great choices for the paintings 🫂

Please finish recording the clan of the cave bear audiobook and I hope you will help record the valley of horses soon too I love hearing these chapters that you have recorded

Auels books are a message of strength and survival to women everywhere.

[@gretchenbaker7435]

I read these as a young teen girl and the admiration for Ayla and her sklill in learning really helped me traverse being a teen girl then woman. Also my interest in herbs and cooking I'd directly from reading these books

[@theerectus2004]

The burning got me all emotional. This book is a masterpiece. Then there is the rest of the series…

[@scz1770]

They get progressively worse. Land of painted caves is an atrocity. Valley of the Horses is great though

[@theerectus2004]

@@scz1770 I tried reading valley of the horses as a teen. I wasn’t ready for that level of descriptive sex. I might give it a try now that I’m older and more mature.

He's not a very sympathetic character, Broud.

The mantra of many a person today how nominal!

[@shanemiller6982]

Brouds mantra... It's funny how well the narrator can make me despise a fictional Neanderthal.

[@derekaduncan]

We need the 2nd book The Valley of Horses, thanks.

WHEN A DECISION IS MADE ON A VOTE *** THOSE WHO ARE TO VOTE *** SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE IN THAT VOTE *** WHEN THERE IS ANIMOSITY IN ONE'S HEART !!! THEIR DECISION WOULD TRULY BE CLOUDED BY EMOTION *** AND NOT WITH THE BEST INTEREST OF THE CLAN !!! SO HIS VOTE SHOULD BE SEEN AS QUESTIONABLE !!! AND BEING A CHILD OF THE OTHERS AND HAVING SUCH A STRONG TOTEM , AND ALONG WITH BEING A FEMALE , AND A BETTER HUNTER THAN MOST MEN OF THE CLAN !!! WOULD SURELY BE A SERIOUS BLOW TO A MANS EGO !!! NO MALE CLAN MEMBER WOULD WANT A FEMALE TO BE STRONGER THAN THEM SELVES !!! AND WOULD FEAR THAT IT WOULD IMPOSE OR SHED LIGHT ON HIDDEN AND DENIED WEAKNESS *** REAL OR IMAGINED !!! TOTEM OF THE CAVE LIONS STRENGTH ASIDE *** HER REAL TRUE STRENGTH TRULY LIES WITHIN HER OWN SPIRIT AND HER ABILITY TO QUESTION THE LIMITED UNDERSTANDING OF THOSE OF THE CLAN !!! BUT ON A WIDER SPECTRUM !!! HER DEATH TO THE CLAN *** WILL TRULY BE THEIR LOSS !!! YOU GO GIRL !!! YOU ARE MY HERO AYLA

[@shanemiller6982]

WHY ARE YOU YELLING SO LOUD?

[@realstateguzmandr248]

IF IT WERE GAME THROHNE, AYLA WOULD HAVE RUN AWAY

[@claudiastokes6485]

If it were GOT, Ayla would be dead or off to rule over her own clan.

[@carolhess1796]

Got a little worried about you.

[@DavidReadsASoIaF]

I've just been swamped! I have a lot more obligations that take me out of my house these days, so setting aside time to record new chapters is harder alas.

[@carolhess1796]

You were missed. Stay safe David and give Claudio a big hug for me. His antics are missed as well.
