@Salome01w4g Mind if I jump in? I have a poem to edit. 🙂

I love so many books…

Pretty much anything Ted Dekker
The Chronicles of Narnia
The Tales of Goldstone Wood
The Codebearers Series
The Door Within Trilogy
The Cooper Kids Adventure Series
Uncle Tom’s Cabin
The Count of Monte Cristo (I haven’t actually finished it yet, but it’s writing style and the story are putting it on my list of favorites.…[Read more]

@ingridrd That’s so pretty! All calm, elegant, and majestic. 🙂

@Dekreel ooh, Night! That is one powerful little book.

For myself… Les Miserables, The Lord of the Rings, Fahrenheit 451, A Tale of Two Cities, The Count of Monte Cristo, A Christmas Carol, Lord of the Flies, the Mistborn Trilogy, The Roman-Britain Trilogy, The Red Keep… and the list goes on. 😛

So apparently I really need to read Harry Potter. Haven’t read it or seen it. Might as well put it on my reading list. 🙂

@that_writer_girl_99 I’m sort of the same way – I have read a couple Doctor Who books that are based off of the episodes, and I used to love them. But, they aren’t as good as the actual show. Sorta like LOTR only the other…[Read more]

Zikers, I have a love/hate relationship with questions like these. Um, okay. Here goes.

I have favorite book series, and then I have favorite books within that series.

–Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief (book one, series one) and the Son of Neptune (book two, series two)

–Harry Potter: The Goblet of Fire and The Deathly Hallows. I also…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy Ah! All my friends say Les Mis is too long! I’m glad I found someone who likes it! I’m only halfway through the book, but I really like it so far!

@salome01w4g I agree with @emily – George Speare is great. I like her book The Bronze Bow.
I would also highly recommend James Herriot (I know you’ve read them, but anyone else who hasn’t should check him out!), Les Miserables by Victor Hugo, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith, and Night by Elie Wiesel.

Thank you all very much! I will look into the changes
@daughteroftheking Don’t feel bad – my English teacher didn’t get it the first time either!

@catwing I don’t know much about writing synopses, but what you have sounds super interesting! I can’t wait to read the story and find out how Alex and her friends save the kingdom. 🙂

@Dekreel to tone it down from being so dark, you could change the aspects of fear and horror/dismay that the tree feels, to a sense of confusion and curiosity. That would shift the mood from ‘scary’ to a much lighter feel.

A way to avoid so much of the human terminology you can use similes instead. Saying “I feel a great, pulsing joy in my heart”…[Read more]
