@Corissa-Maiden-of-Praise, Oops…I didn’t see that Kate asked the same question. 😉 I love “The Mysterious Benedict Society!” Which book is your favorite? Have you read “The Extraordinary Education of Nicolas Benedict,” as well? And, of course, LOTR is great. 🙂

Hello and welcome @Dragon-snapper! Glad to have you on here. 🙂

Greta, the Peaceful One, salutes you, Captain Dragon Snapper. 😛

@Bluejay Yesssss, I love Ella Enchanted!! Have you read Two Princesses of Bamarre, also by Gale Carson Levine? It’s just as good as Ella Enchanted. 🙂

Late to the party as usual (that’s what happens when you’re gone for 19 days).
@Jess Nice to meet you! Welcome to the coolest place for writers ever. 😉
I ask this question of everyone who joins KP (unless, of course, it’s already been asked) and it’s a very, very important question, so, in keeping with tradition, what are some of your favorite books?

@Daeus This is such a cool idea! I’d love to be a part, if I can remember to write characteristics down. 😉

I’ve heard that the hardest part of writing a novel is writing the beginning. I don’t know whether you’re a plan-out-the-entire-novel sort of person or a start-from-scratch sort of person or a…[Read more]

@belegteleri I followed you!

I have a blog, too at writingandblog.wordpress.com.

@winter-rose Congratulations!!! That’s a wonderful accomplishment. 🙂

@hannah-krynicki Oh, nice! Have fun on vacation. 🙂

I haven’t read Sign of Four before, but I’m thinking that Watson’s attraction to Mary is entwined with the main story plot somehow, like Sarah said. I also think it serves to contrast Watson’s character and Sherlock Holmes’s character. Watson is much more emotional and open about his emotions, whereas Holmes doesn’t have much emotion at all.…[Read more]

@C-C-Lane It’s great to meet you!
Awesome, I love LOTR, too! I’m reading it for the third time this summer. 🙂
