@Jane-maree Welcome. It’s nice to see you here.
@Julia-r I’m in New South Wales too. Also about two hours from the coast. A different bit of the coast unfortunately.
@willow-wispowing I’m not sure I knew you were on here Clare.

Hey, I’d like to start building up my summer reading list! Going on a looonnggg vacation and need a few recommendations. So: good books? I like fantasy and the like, not a big fan of romance or horror novels. @graciegirl @overcomer @r-j-wordsmith @Rachelle @Dragon-Snapper @northerner @perfectfifths @Ethryndal @Brandon-Miller @the-bean @Julia-R @Gid…[Read more]

@Jane-Maree : Yup. Australia is 100% on the bucket list now! I like blue skies and lots of bright stars and diverse landscapes!!! If you don’t mind sharing, what region of Australia do you live in?

@Jane-Maree Mae Govannen and welcome to the world outside the shadows! Yay for N.D. Wilson! My sister and I are actually just reading through the Hundred Cupboards together. Ooh, and you’re from Australia! I think we have a few other Aussies hanging around too! Hope to see you around!
@graciegirl I think @daeus started it, though I have no basis…[Read more]

@Jane-Maree welcome! I’ve been a really horrible person and haven’t been on Kingdom Pen in forever, but I popped back because it is the bestiest place on the Web. I hope you enjoy it!!!
As an American with severe wanderlust issues (I spend hours drooling over gorgeous pictures on Google Earth), I need to ask you: what’s the coolest thing…[Read more] -

This might work better. HIIIIIIII!!!! Welcome to the bestistest…well, they beat me to it. I’ll follow the rules for once.
Four instruments! I play guitar and piano, a little bit of celtic whistle, and would love to play cello. However, high school. How do you…[Read more] -

Hello @Jane-Maree! I’ve seen you on comment sections or something before. Welcome to the forum. 🙂
What instrument do you play? -

Hey @jane-maree! I’ve seen you a lot on the panels discussions. Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet. 😀
Ooh ooh what about Tales of Goldstone Wood series by Anne Elizabeth Stengl. I really love the ones I’ve read of that and they’re really beautiful fantasy and allegory-ish too. Super well written.
The Youngest Templar Trilogy by Michael Spradlin (not this @spradlin)
The Black Arrow by Robert Louis Stevenson
All of the Ranger’s Apprentice books by John Flanagan (unless, of course, you’ve read those)
The Brotherband Chronicles by John Flanagan
In Search of Honor by Donnalynn Hess
The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin
The Hero’s Guide to Saving…[Read more]
@dragon-snapper LOL. Ironically enough, my favorite genre to write is medieval fantasy.
@spradlin Haha! That is too funny!
The Space trilogy by Paul Regnier and A Time to Die trilogy by Nadine Brandes.
And another thought that I just had would be: Orphan’s Song (Gillian Bronte Adams), or A Wish Made of Glass (Ashlee Willis) – both fantasy. 🙂
Pendragon’s Heir by Suzannah Rowntree. Arthurian legend and historical fantasy plus time-travel. Also a great book in its own right. Be prepared for an authour who asks hard moral questions and doesn’t give easy answers. Has a bit of romance but even I (who can’t talk about romance at all without getting snarky) liked it.
I’ve got too many recommendations.
Ilyon Chronicles by Jaye L. Knight
Blades of Acktar series by Tricia Mingerink.
Finding Angel by Kat Heckenbach
Tales of Taelis series by Sarah Holman
Annabeth’s War and Captive of Raven Castle by Jessica Greyson.
The Gammage Cup, by Carol Kendall
I just finished reading that a couple weeks ago, and can’t stop raving about it. Fantasy. No romance. No horror. Just a lovely, light read.
Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card. More of a sci-fi than a fantasy, but it’s a must read. I recommend it to everyone.
Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard is fantastic, though if you get it you should probably get the sequel alongside it and spare yourself the suspense.
If you’ve never read Little Men (yes: men. not women) by Lousia May Alcott you need…[Read more]
Patrick W. Carr’s “The Staff and the Sword” trilogy was a really refreshing fantasy to me. =) Also “The Scarlet Pimpernel” (not fantasy) was really good.
Can’t wait to check some of these out!!! I will have lots to read this summer! Thanks, everyone! Oh, and I have read Johnny Tremain, but it’s been a *few* years, so thanks for mentioning it! I think I’ll go to my bookshelf and re-read it now!
I’m in the middle of reading Virals by Kathy Rieches (the original mind behind BONES)… it’s so, so good! I highly recommend it. Just throwing that out there in case you’re still needing some more reading material. 😉
