[edit] Do Not Delete Yet

I am sorry for the trouble. I am working on fixing the summery thing-y problem. SOme of the books I have not read so I am going by the back cover summery. Those books would be (just for a helper) Voodoo Moon, Haunted by Desire, The Gypsy Enchantment, Soul of the Bride, Spirit of the Wolf, Date with Death, Something Wiccan This Way Comes, Mist and Stone, and Mirror Image. I have read some that are not on the list yet. Give me time and I am so sorry for the problem. I am working on fixing it. --Meraculas 23:31, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Strangely, I agree with you. The books do require coverage, and I believe this belongs at AfD, not CfD, as I personally think any copyvio can be ammended. I'm all for deleting crap, but this can be improved. See: Buffy novels. ~ZytheTalk to me! 00:26, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Not completely sure what you mean by your comment, but I have fixed up (to the best of my suck a** abilities) the summery thing-y. If it needs more work feel free to give it that work. My hands are so cramped it kills. Again I am sorry for the problem. --Meraculas 00:31, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Additionally, dependent upon the outcome of this deletion process, let's place the book blurb on Charmed multimedia rather than on the main page. I'll write up something when that time comes and place it in the article. -- Huntster T • @ • C 01:39, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
I currently own Something wiccan this way comes,legacy of merlin, the power of 3, pied piper, inherit the witch, beware what you wish, between worlds, the queens curse, and survival of the fittest. I've read 90% of them and I'd be more than happy to write a summary on any of them if you need them. --Malevious Userpage •Talk Page• Contributions 02:18, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
If you need pictures for any of them I cant easily take one, which i believe would make then free rather than fair-use. --Malevious Userpage •Talk Page• Contributions 02:20, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
This is correct. Scanning something is akin to taking a digital picture of it, which removes the copyright status of the image (as opposed to a promotional image, which is itself copyrighted). If you need any assistance in cleaning up an image after the scan, let me know. -- Huntster T • @ • C 02:29, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
I could really use some help with the pictures. You can fix the summeries for the books I haven't read. The books I have: The Power of Three, The Kiss of Darkness, The Crimson Spell, Whispers from the Past, The Legacy of Merlin, Beware What You Wish, Charmed Again, Garden of Evil, Dark Vengence, Shadow of the Sphinx, Between Worlds, Truth and Consequences, Luck be a Lady, Inherit the Witch, The Tale of Two Pipers, Mystic Knoll, Changeling Places, The Queen's Curse, Picture Perfect, and Demon Doppelgangers. Though I have just started The Queen's Curse and have not read Changeling Places, Picture Perfect, and Demon Doppelgangers yet. I also do not own a single of the books which will put under other (ie: The Warren Witches, The Book of Three, and Seasons of the Witch.) --Meraculas 03:39, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
If the guides are being included here, I would suggest this article be renamed "List of Charmed books", because guides and companions aren't properly categorized as novels. Also, check out these lists if you need any assistance with specific book information. Books 1-25, Books 26-41 -- Huntster T • @ • C 06:05, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
I am including the guide and companion books, but I don't know how to change the page name, if someone else could do that for me... --Meraculas 15:18, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
Done. -- Huntster T • @ • C 19:16, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] No more Charmed Books

I've heard a rumour from thecharmedones.com that the people who publish the Charmed Books have decided to finish the series of novels! Please, tell me I am wrong! Bubble bunny

Well, this isn't really the place for casual discussion, but either way, I've heard nothing good about them, so doesn't matter to me. :/ -- Huntster T • @ • C 13:10, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
YEAH, THAT HELPED! Thanks???? Bubble bunny

[edit] New Book

New book, 'Trickery Treat' has been announced. http://www.simonsays.com/content/book.cfm?tab=1&pid=585573 Bubble bunny

[edit] Season the Books take place during

I just thought that it might be nice for people to know which book takes place during which season. I remember when I stated reading Mystic Knoll and thinking, "what the hell is going on here?" because I hadn't seen very many of the episodes with Paige at the time and I hadn't known that Piper had ever been pregnant. I go into the show a little late and had been watching it from the first season. Does the idea sound good? --Meraculas (talk) 23:15, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

If the correct season can be absolutely identified, I don't see any reason to not include it. However, if there is any doubt, just leave it alone. — Huntster (t • @ • c) 23:40, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
I am pretty sure I have an idea of each season for a large number of the books I have read. I might need to reread some (not that I am complaining) and if I still have a little trouble I can leave the spot empty for someone else to determine. I'll start a little later as I am in the middle of working. --Meraculas (talk) 11:03, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
I think it would be a good piece of information to add to the article; at least it will help in tying the novels into the series, despite not following the same strict canon. Any additional information needed to establish the season will probably be found at "The Demons Jumble" [1] which, as I recall, has some detailed analysis of each novel. Olympic (talk) 11:10, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
It isn't that hard to determine the seasons, you just need to read the books and make note of things going on that might help. The thing I find hard, though, is that season 6 doesn't exist like it had in the show. (I am reading Demona Doppelganger so I will use that as an example). It mentions Wyatt being a baby, and it sounds like the sisters have been turned in Greek goddessess by the way they are talking, but there is not adult Chris from the future, no baby Chris either. Does that make any sense? That is the only think that might be hard for me (that and not owning all the books), but I can do what I can. --Meraculas (talk) 14:42, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Book's Corresponding Seasons

I have added the seasons (that I greatly believe) correspond with each book. I do not own all the books, and have guessed the seasons for a number of the ones a placed as season 4. If you are wondering how I got some of the seasons or wish to correct or add a season, feel free to. The books I own are: The Power of Three, Kiss of Darkness, Crimson Spell, Whispers of the Past, The Legacy of Merlin, Beware What You Wish, Charmed Again, Garden of Evil, Dark Vengance, Shadow of the Sphinx, Between Worlds, Truth and Consequences, Luck be a Lady, Inherit the Witch, The Tale of Two Pipers, Mystic Knoll, Changeling Places, The Queen's Curse, Picture Perfect, and Demon Doppelgangers, Leo Rising, and Trickery Treat. All the season given as season 4 between Charmed Again to Garden of Evil to Dark Vengance to Truth and Consequences are given that season as the books most likely did not change seasons between there.--Meraculas (talk) 15:53, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
