Frindle is about a boy who decides that a pen should be called a frindle. And it’s about the war that goes on because of it and how the world responds to it. Great book, well worth reading. It is by Andrew Clements.
The Butterfly Lion…how to describe it. Let me just write what is on the back of the book.
Bertie rescues an orphaned white lion cub…[Read more] -

@Hope all good questions. I do think I would tend to say it’s cowardice to beg for swift death over torment (though goodness knows if I would have the strength to take it), because ultimately God is in control (so cliche— but He is 😉 ) and ‘I can do ALL THINGS through Christ, who strengthens me.’ That would apply to silence in the face of…[Read more]

But especially with the scenes which could have happened, but had to be clipped for time’s sake…those are fun to go back and read and spend a little more time with favorite characters.
Oh, that kind would be nice. 🙂
It’s just too bad not everyone wants a giant book; then you wouldn’t have to cut scenes for time’s sake. 🙁 -

@hope have you ever read Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine? She does that with her book.

@dragon-snapper It least I’m not the only one then. 🙂
Have you ever read books by Captain W.E.Johns? He writes about a pilot called Bigglesworth “Biggles” to his friends. He fights in World War 1 & 2 and when it’s not war he’s a air-police detective. Well worth reading. My brother collects them and now I have started my own set two. I think there…[Read more] -

Write a comedy where a morbid but incredibly competent potato bug is the villain in a world full of valiant trapdoor spiders. 🙂

One thing though, Hope—I’ve never really got this.
Why include old scenes as special material, if they are in fact old? Because if you deleted them from the book, they most likely didn’t happen, and why show your fan something that could’ve happened if it didn’t? Chances are they may like the deleted way better, and then it’ll leave them…[Read more] -

Hullo, fellow stalker. Feel good to finally be a part of it all? 😉 I’ve seen you on Hope’s blog, so I kind of know you. 🙂
I play the piano and violin too—what genre of music do you play?
