Chamomile is the best.  I like to imagine being wrapped in a fluffy blanket, writing my story with a candle and the Little Women soundtrack in the background. <3 Then I am happy. :)) (Which reminds me, are you big into movies?  If so, which ones?)

That book journal sounds awesome!  How long have you been doing it?  It would be sup…[Read more]

@lavenderbookling

Welcome Lavender!  I’m Ella, nice to meet you!  If you have any questions, please let me know.

Ohh nice, sci-fi and fantasy?  Sounds pretty awesome to me. :))  I’m writing a book about a girl who’s trying to escape the last ship leaving earth (which is almost inhabitable) to save her sister, who was left behind.  It’s a stor…[Read more]

@glorifychrist

Heyy Heaven!  (I LOVE your name btw) Your blog is so pretty, and I love your mission too <33

CWW!!! <33 I’ve participated in it for two years but this year I didn’t because school was just too much work, but I agree, it is SO helpful!  I hope you keep your writing streak on KP too!

Wait.  Ahhh!  I’m a tea drinker too!  (wha…[Read more]

@glorifychrist Yeah, I’m currently working on two long projects and a short story.

We have a lot of authors here who know about self publishing! You’ll probably meet them at some point, haha.

@glorifychrist That sounds great! I’d love to hear more about your work!

I write fiction, usually crime/slice-of-life/fantasy, and I’m always working on long projects and short projects.

What are you hoping to do with your projects once they’re finished?

@glorifychrist Welcome! What a coincidence, I just finished CWW as well! It’s great to have you here! I’m Linyang, though most here call me Lin.

What kind of things do you like to write? Is there any particular project that you’re working on now?

@kathleenramm

• Silver Spoon – A funny yet deep series about farm school; really hit hard with graduating high school and all, by the author of Fullmetal Alchemist so I highly recommend it
• 20th Century Boys – A classic story of good versus evil, one of the most emotional pieces I have ever read, another one of Naoki Urasawa’s best works

@daisy-torres

I’ve never heard of The Lost Island of Tamarind, but now I’ll have to check it out after hearing what you said about it! I love stories with good characters and relationships.

@devastate-lasting

220? Manga or not that’s still a lot of reading.

Do you have any favorite Manga you read this year?

Most of the books you mention are…[Read more]

Oof, it’s taken me forever to reply to all you guys, but here I am!

@trahia-the-minstrel

Woah, that’s like a consistent book week right? As a notoriously slow reader, I am in awe.

I’m going to have to check out Mark of the Lion Series by Francine Rivers then! I usually don’t read romance because I find them a bit dull and predictable, but from…[Read more]

@annabelle

I’ll rephrase XD I write whenever I can, but not as consistently as I’d like.  For example, over Christmas break, I wrote almost every day but as soon as school started again, I’m having trouble making time anymore.  So summer is my dream time to write haha

Anywayys, I’m writing two stories when I can:

WIP Emiyn (em-eye-in) is a…[Read more]

@lana-blanchard

Heyyy!  I’m Ella, nice to meet you!!!  Lana is such a pretty name <3

Oh yes, fantasy is amazinggg.  I’m going back and forth between two WIPs:  Project Emiyn (em-eye-in), where Earth’s climate is failing, and people have no choice but to go to space.  Emiyn was chosen to be one of the Candidates for the space exploration, but…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Welcome back!!!!  I haven’t been consistently writing since like… um… summer ’21?? 😱 I know, I’ve been bad, but girl, it’s hard to write during the school year lol

Anywayssss, your blog looks AH-MAZ-ING.  So pretty, super aesthetic, and really fun to look through <3  I got November on the quiz btw 😉

@annabelle

dunno if we…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel Hm… Well, pretty much everything I can think of has swearing in it, so I’m afraid not a lot of my reccs will be completely clean. Yotsuba&! is one of my favorite wholesome slice-of-life mangas with no anime adaption, about a little girl, so it should be enjoyable for adults, and probably for kids as well. Other than that,…[Read more]

@daisy-torres

Yayyy!!!  I loved that book!!  I have some free time on my hands just waiting for more Smoke and Mirrors… 😉

@daisy-torres How exciting! I’ll be sure to check it out! Best of luck!

@kathleenramm Don’t feel bad, I can hardly read anything besides manga now. But for the sake of this discussion I’ll leave manga out of it.

How Many Books Have you Read this Year? List every one you read!

Out of the 220 books I read, only 15 were real books. And a lot were rereads.

The Summer of the Swans – Betsy Byars

Born Again – Charles…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Ah, the Ninjago line was a joke, haha.

The Fangs in Wingfeather Saga reminded me of the snake creatures in Ninjago, so I thought I’d make a little joke about it.

But yeah, sometimes jokes get misinterpreted when it’s in writing like this, haha.
