I’m with Faith Kindred; I’m sorry I missed the last discussion! 🙁 I’m working full time now, so it’s been crazy. 🙁

I vote for:

1. The Sign of Four
2. Treasure Island

@Daeus: I’m so sorry it’s taken me forever to get back on here! Life has been crazy busy…

@hannah-krynicki: The part when Napoleon was taking the pups away to ‘educate them’ also jumped out at me. In fact, when I read it, I must’ve immediately had the communist agenda in mind, since I muttered, “ooooohhh….” My sister was in the room and had…[Read more]

I love what everyone has been saying so far! I also noticed how Orwell didn’t put forward his own beliefs/views but seems like he’s allowing the reader to make up his/her own mind, which I think is good.

I’m the type of reader who always looks for the humor in a book, even if it’s one of the most serious novels ever written. I always search for…[Read more]

I happen to be one of those ‘finifugal’ folks… (Not that I hate endings, but I dread having to write one) I think what frustrates me most about them, is trying to get everything wrapped up so that the reader finally understands every detail and is left with some interesting poignant memory. I’m glad someone started this thread, because I can…[Read more]

Sorry everyone that it’s taken me so long to reply. My life has just been ever so busy lately. *catches breath*

@andry-grace: Thank you!!! I have heard of Johnny Tremain, and I think I may have read it before. If I remember correctly, it was very good. 🙂 I have a lot of WIP right now, but my main one is a novel I’m currently writing called If…[Read more]

I finally got the book! Can’t wait to start reading it! Sorry it’s taken me so long! :O

Ugh, this is hard! :O

My top choices are:

1. Fiddler’s Gun
2. Ben Hur (it’s been sitting on my bookshelf for quite some time now, just waiting for me. I think it’s about time…)
3. The Great Gatsby

*stumbles in breathless and looks around in hopes no one has noticed how late I am*

Yay, I’m excited!! I would love to be a part of this, but I’m not sure how much free time I’ll have. But I will definitely try! I just moved from part-time to full-time at my job, so we’ll see how much time I can squeeze in.
@Daeus: Thanks for tagging me! This…[Read more]

@bluejay: Sweet! I went to one of the screenings and I loved it so much!

@ivy-rose: that’s awesome!!! I live not too far from Coeur d’Alene, so we’re actually really close! 😀 That’s so cool you like historical fiction too! What’s your favorite time era to read/write?

@Daeus: Sadly, I don’t own the book – but now I’m motivated to grab it off the library bookshelf, carry it home in triumph, grab a cup of tea and read till midnight.

@bluejay: Is your profile pic Kara Killmer from Beyond the Mask? *squeals* I love that movie and her!

@andry_grace: Thank you!! 🙂 Yours is awesome too!

@Daeus: I thank you… *dramatic curtsy* It was one of the few books that actually made me cry while reading. *sigh* It’s been years since I’ve read it. Too long… I’m started to crave it again. 🙂
