Yāknow Iāve avoided LOTR for a long time because of the scary monsters and what notā¦ I think I might give it a try sometime though.
Oh cool! Iāve been curious about the studio Ghibli film on that for awhile because the animation and score are really good, but I read in the synopsis it has some weird spiritual stuff in it so I didnāt watch it. I know everyone has different preferences with that stuff. For some people it seems to be some kind of staple childhood animation š

@esther-c Iām still planning on finishing it, just havenāt quite done so yetā¦The Hobbit got me distracted š
@hybridlore Ooh, sounds like youāve been doing a lot of reading; thatās great!! šAlso, if you specifically want Historical Fiction recommendationsā¦I have several š
@mineralizedwritings I think you might like itā¦so far, The Hobbit is pretty good!!! šJuly 11, 2023 at 3:58 pm #150462Have you read the āDear Americaā series? Each book is about a different kid in a different time period. I would loooove some good dystopian book recommendations!
@freedomwriter76
Im reading (well now im done) the āLegend of Zelda, Twilight Princessā graphic novels (8 of them, I need the next!) They are so good! I just love the Legend of Zeldas, books and video games.

Yāallā¦I am absolutely in love with The Hobbit right now š Bilbo is amazing yāallā¦legit the best character so far XXD

Great idea, btw!! š„°
@Mineralizedwritings Lotr is the best, I think youāll really like it!! Yeah the movies can be scary at times, but theyāre really good. The books are even better, imo!

I feel like I have to come clean about this
*takes a deep breath*
Iām not a Tolkien fan
*Put hands out for handcuffs*
Soā¦ Iāve always found it boring
and truthfully Iām not the biggest fantasy fan, (Chronicles of Narnia is the only one I really like) Soā¦ Throw me in prison XD
On the topic of reading, Iāve mostly havenāt been reading (truthfully Iām not a huge book fan) *Gives another shameful look* But my favorite series is āSeries of Unfortunate Eventsā and I also really like āNancy Drew Diariesā (which are just really corny mysteries)
butā¦ feel free to send me hate mail
I just felt aI had to come clean
I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.ā

@smiley No hate mail from me š I wasnāt interested in LOTR eitherā¦but my friend finally convinced me to read The Hobbitā¦and I fell in love XXDšš
Iām not a huge fan of Fantasy eitherā¦which is why I had low expectations for The Hobbit and LOTRā¦but so farā¦uhā¦Iām in love, lol šš
Welll, if you donāt like reading a whole lot in generalā¦I can see why you wouldnāt like LOTRā¦itās a lot of words to get through, lol!!!
@lightoverdarkness6 Yesss, heās amazing!!!! Hmm, Iāll have to get back on you on that, lol!! Lemme read some more and also go back, then Iāll share my fav Bilbo quote š¤£ššššāØand thx, I thought itād be fun!!!
And nope, donāt think Iāve read or even heard of that oneā¦I may need to check it out!!!
July 12, 2023 at 12:20 pm #150516Me either!! Tbh I got kind of bored with LOTR too šš Iām only like 30% through the fellowship of the ring, so maybe it gets better? And Narnia is really good. I get that youāre not into fantasy really, I typically prefer other stuff too, but you should definitely check out KOTLC if you havenāt read it! It was one of the best fantasies Iāve read, though the later books havenāt been as good, unfortunately š Also I loved the Nancy Drew diaries when I read them!!!
Oh, me either!! Iāll have to check it out, thanks!!

Sorry you guys, I think Iām not getting your tags for some reason, I didnāt get @acancelloās, or @lightoverdarkness6ās, so if I donāt respond, thatās why š„š

No, I havenāt heard of them, but Iāll have to look them up! Some dystopian books ā
The Testing trilogy by Joelle Charbonneau is pretty good, but itās a little violent ā¦ she has another series, the first book is called Verify. I think that oneās less violent and it had a really interesting plot, too š
A lot of dystopian books are pretty violent, honestly. Thereās the hunger games, maze runnerā¦
Lunar Chronicles is amazing, itās a lot of sci Fi tho, so idk if you like that š the author, Marissa Meyer, has a different series called renegades, thatās like a sci Fi, dystopian super hero mix, which is really good too
I hope this helped!! Hopefully youāll be able to find some good ones, Iāll let you know if I think of any other really good ones, too!! š
@freedomwriter76
Ahh just saw you tagged me too! Sorry lol, itās either all going to spam or KPās broken again š¤
I meanā¦ book recommendations are always good šš Yeah, honestly I havenāt been writing too much so Iāve been reading a lot. Iām trying to get back into writing tho! š
Know of any christian historical fiction authors?? Besides you of course š š
