@Abigail M. – The inklings! I didn’t know that, such a cool name! And I have yet to check out the Poetry section due to tight schedules, but I definitely will this weekend 😀

@Abigail. M. That’s awesome! I haven’t heard of Dark Horse, sounds intriguing, I’m adding it to my reading list!
Haha, that’s true, such a wonderful series, super hard to top. One fascinating thing I learned was that CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien actually collaborated on LOTR & Narnia and helped each other write them! It really threw me for a loop…[Read more]

@Joy Caroline – Woah, 130k words, that’s quite impressive! Do you plan on publishing the book?
And yes, a Tale of Three Kings is amazing and I think you’d really enjoy it! It’s got a lot of deeper meanings behind the story and acts as both an interesting story and answers some complicated questions related to how we are to act as Christians in…[Read more]

@Lexi M. – That’s awesome!!
I haven’t read Keeper of the Lost Cities, though it sounds very familiar, what’s it about?
And yes, Mere Christianity is amazing, one of the best books on apologetics in my opinion, and goes through the faith in a very clear and straightforward way! It’s made a lot of complicated terms and ideas much easier to…[Read more]

@Wyn Rose Yes! I’m the same way, there’s a lot of science and biological reasons behind it, but what’s most interesting is the internal reasons in the way they think and do things as you said! I’m curious to hear if you have picked up any small things you’ve found interesting about understanding people?

@Linyang Zhan – Ooo, do you have it up somewhere public to read?
Hmm, that’s a hard question to answer I haven’t really thought of before. The thing that really stands out in a book is more of the thing that doesn’t stand out. Meaning a bad book would be one with extremes, like an all-powerful hero that can almost do no wrong, or a hero that has…[Read more]

@Joy Caroline – Oh wow, that’s fascinating! A book I really enjoyed was similar to that, called A Tale of Three Kings, about King David, Saul, & Soloman from David’s point of view, and that of his right hand, some of the stuff in it was, of course, added because there isn’t transcribed conversations, but it brings it into a more vivid, story life…[Read more]

Sounds super interesting! (Minus the fangirling part of course :))
I’d love to be kept in the loop for it! Would you have specific book genres the meeting would be centered around, or would it be sort of a free for all?

@Lexi M – Super nice to meet you as well!! 😀 What style of fantasy books do you like to read and write? And yes, I love my work, it really makes life super interesting!
@Wyn Rose – Howdy Wyn! Yep, the only middle child too 😉
As far…[Read more]
