@seekjustice Well, The Magician’s Nephew terrified me, so, that’s not much to go on. 😉

I absolutely loved the three Haggard his-fics that I read, Pearl Maiden, Lysbeth, and another I can’t remember the name of.  I didn’t like the ending of the third one because it was sad, but I liked the story, and it didn’t freak me out.  Very susp…[Read more]

@seekjustice Wow! You go girl!

@rochellaine Recently I’ve read An Ideal Husband by Oscar Wilde (which is very funny),  1,000 Things Worth Knowing by Nathaniel C. Fowler Jr. (Not really much worth knowing, but some interesting stuff), and My Chinese Marriage by Mae M Franking (A great biography type book).

@rochellaine

Just curious, why did you suggest it to Kaya if it was too horrifying for you?? I’ve only read King Solomon’s Mines and it terrified me, and I’ve never been able to look at Haggard again.

Hey. Its going pretty well. Yesterday I had an idea to start writing the third book of my trilogy without an outline, but I got 1,000 words in,…[Read more]

@kaya-young It’s way to weird for my tastes, so I definitely don’t blame you. 😛 (Never read it, but the synopsis was enough to horrify me.) I do like Haggard’s his-fics though.  They’re not weird.

Really?  Which ones?  I’ve probably read a couple of hundred books on Gutenberg. 😉 But…there are thousands.

@seekjustice Hey!  How’s it going?

@rochellaine  *Blushes with shame* No… I quit. It was just a bit too weird for my taste. However, that did get me started on reading random Gutenberg books, which is fun. 😃

@rochellaine @kaya-young

I’ll be here on and off for a bit 🙂

@kaya-young Cool.

Oh, by the way, did you ever finish reading She by Haggard?

@rochellaine  yes, I’m back! I’m working on a few things for my blog. 🙂

@kaya-young Whoa, you’re here??  Cool!! 😀 😀 Haven’t seen you in a while.  What are you working on?

@rochellaine  Hmm, that Elsie Dinsmore article was interesting. I am a bit disturbed by the things mentioned in the article, but it is only now that I am realizing that those things happened in the books, 11/12 year old me had no clue.

I think what bothers me the most about it is her repeatedly saying that she will not let her daughter read…[Read more]

@seekjustice Thanks. 🙂

@rochellaine

Justice is two and a half/three years older than Zac. And they are twenty-three and twenty respectively.

@seekjustice Zac is younger than Justice, right?  If so, by how much?  If not…how old are they?

@alia The Elsie Dinsmore article is here.  I don’t agree with everything the article says, but it does make a few good points.  Usually I look at a book differently depending on the era it depicts and when it was written, but there are some things you can’t compromise anyway.

I did enjoy the Elsie books very much too, but I upon rereading I f…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira  Thank you! It means joy or joyful. ☺

@kaya-young How exiting!

Alyza is a beautiful name.  What does it mean?

@rochellaine

Good night 🙂

@seekjustice They do sound really cool.  And pretty crazy.  Any little boy saddled with a name like that these days would be hopelessly bullied. 😮

I will now be departing for the night.  Talk to you later!

@rochellaine

Well, I’ve just been reading several histories of British kings and some of my favourite names are the Anglo-Saxon kings…Aethulbert, Aethulwulf, Aethalstan, Aelfred. Great names 😛

Yeah, it has a really nice meaning!

Yes, that’s the one I meant. So far, I’m sure it makes zero sense, but at least I’ve started (though I am working…[Read more]
