So, I got pulled in by the title. Most ‘modern’ fantasy (or what ever this type is) I’ve picked up I’ve almost instantly put down feeling sick. This was light-hearted and meaningful, and… I don’t know. I read everything you had posted in like twenty minutes.

@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]

@daisy-torres

Of course I remember Smoke and Mirrors! I loved it 😀 Are you kidding!??!? I am going straight away to your blog to read this, this is amazing that you are going to make it into a serial!! I’m so excited!!!:D

@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]

Ugh. That is VERY annoying. I have had similar things happen, and I could have sued someone.

A funny story though: So I have a country in one of my WIPs that is called Dorwin. The citizens were called Dorwinians. Imagine my shock when I read the Hobbit and found out the elves have Dorwinian wine. The amazed, even fascinated,…[Read more]

Hmmm… maybe I’ll go back to Beatrice and her cow one day. Because yeah, now looking at it there’s a lot of cool ways I could direct the story.

lol. Nothing like a movie or book coming out with a premise oddly similar to the one you are working on to crush your motivation, haha. That’s happened to me at least once before, but I…[Read more]

Hey there!

Let’s see…

The Secret Keepers by Trenton Lee Stewart (someone already mentioned The Mysterious Benedict Society by the same author–both are super good!)

The Accidental Hero, The Second War, and The End of Infinity by Matt Myklusch (a lot more action and techy stuff in that one)

The Story Thieves Series by James…[Read more]

@daisy-torres
Actually, after looking up Urban Fantasy I don’t think either or the book series above mentioned would fall into that category. Sorry about the confusion.

It’s been a while since I’ve popped into the forum, and I’m so sorry I never replied to y’all!! Life got crazy!!

I guess now is as good a time as any since I happen to be the Queen of Belated Things (hence, the title of this thread…and the fact that I’m still working on a birthday gift for a friend who had her birthday in August… and how I’m…[Read more]

@daisy-torres Aye, I’ve heard both good and bad things about Wattpad, and I feel like the stuff I write doesn’t fit into the romance vibe of it, so for now I’m hopefully going to be sticking with Webnovel and Tapas. I’m glad you had a good experience with it though.

@daisy-torres Ah thank you so much! Unfortunately, no, I wouldn’t recommend it. The readerbase is very small already and without signing a contract it is hard to garner any attention for your work. Plus, the site caters much more to genres like LGBT.

@daisy-torres Ay, I have an urban fantasy series on Tapas called Those Who Were Given Another Yesterday! Feel free to read with the link below.

@daisy-torres *distant coughing* My stuff.

@daisy-torres

Wait, this is Smoke and Mirrors??? *totally just got a thousand times more excited* YESSS!!!!! I did read a few of the chapters you had posted and was so IN LOVE with it!!!!!!!!! Hahahahaha, I feel you, sista. I’m a die-hard panster who writes a bunch of first draft-filled-rambling nonsense like there’s no tomorrow. 😂 But you keep…[Read more]

@daisy-torres It’s been forever since I’ve read any of these, but the Dreamtreaders series by Wayne Thomas Batson (the main character who is very much from our world is one of three-ish people who can enter the dream world) and The Hundred Cupboards by N.D. Wilson (a portal fantasy set partially in Kansas) might fit the bill. Both authors are Ch…[Read more]
