Kate, I have not read “A Christmas Carol”… I did go to a play of it once when I was younger.

Hope, I haven’t read the Percy Jackson books, but several of my friends have and thought the first season was very good! I did read the author’s “Kane Chronicles” trilogy which I thought were good, not my favorites but good. Have you read…[Read more]

Hey Daeus! Glad you joined us! I have actually never read ANY of your favorites, but I have heard of all three of them. I will definitely be looking into “A Tale of Two Cities”, Thanks for the suggestion! Wow, three people now have told me how good this book is, I normally don’t get that in a row! You are definitely stirring my interest to read…[Read more]

Ok! I have not read any Dickens though I am planning to eventually. Yes! While the only of Austen’s works I’ve read is Pride and Prejudice I have been planning (for about three years now…) to read some of her other works, but I do see the point with the information dump. Wow! You are DEFINITELY making me want to read “North and South”! No…[Read more]

I do see your point with Sam :). Tolkien did a very good job with character development there.
They are! 😀 I haven’t read “St. George for England” but it sounds like it would be one to look into next go-around with Henty.
While not called upon to do so ;), I DO agree that they could have represented the culture and world at the time better.…[Read more]

I’m still having the error message and I am also getting it when I click on other’s names. Any help, Kingdom Pen?

Kate, I’m sorry… I actually dislike the question myself (although I’ve asked it twice…) So I am sorry.
Oh definitely! It’s so hard to choose, but, as each of the three are well-represented here, I believe that we can all agree that Tolkien did a good job at them! Hmmm… Favorite Character??? That’s worse than the favorite book question!…[Read more]

Well now. That’s sad. I have also really enjoyed this discussion!
I definitely do that all the time! (and most of the time I actually do have something to write it down with…) :D, yes, he did a very good job with it! I meant to say that that was a created one, but I guess I didn’t put it, so that was exactly what I was thinking, but sometimes…[Read more]

Yes! I definitely agree with your first paragraph. I think setting a limit would make so many authors works much better!
I have actually thought of one or two examples of symbols in books… I don’t know if you read the Redwall series or not, but in them the sword of Martin the Warrior pretty much symbolized good fortune and the fact that if…[Read more]

Hey Sarah!
I definitely see your point with liking Return of the King. 😀 I definitely understand the torture of picking a favorite book! When it comes down to it I think whatever I’m reading at the time is my favorite most of the time! 😉 I’ve never heard of the books or the author, actually! Second time in two days, what is the world coming…[Read more]

Oh Whoops! I should have realized that as well.
Ahh… I definitely see what you mean there, and yes, those can definitely add, but can also definitely subtract from your writing. I think that in some situations these types can be used… well, a little too often. If in every, or even just every other chapter and scene you put in another one of…[Read more]

Oh Whoops! Headed that way…

Hey Kate! Hmm… Symbols. I think it definitely depends on many things. Such as, how often do you use symbols? I wouldn’t want one in every piece of work, but it is definitely cool to have them in some or, depending on what you write, I prefer symbols in longer works rather than shorter. Putting them in shorter is great as long as you give the…[Read more]

Heehee! I’ll leave that to Penguin Gandalf as well! 😀

Oh my! How could I forget “The Lord of the Rings!” Definitely another favorite on my end as well:D. I’ve heard a lot of great things said about “A Tale of Two Cities”, I’m hoping to read that sometime soon😃. Hmm… I haven’t heard of any of those series’ but they sound cool! Louis L’Amour is definitely one of my family’s favorite authors, we…[Read more]

Also, (I should have put this in the first one but didn’t think of it until I had posted) I’m not really sure if you see my name or username in the posts so that is why it says that… 😀

Hey Mallory! My real name is Hannah, but I liked Aella- which means whirlwind- for a username:). How long have you been on Kingdom Pen?
