Kina Lamb replied to the topic Hi guys! in the forum Start HERE 7 years, 8 months ago
Aw, thanks @jess! That’s really encouraging.
I am writing a (hopefully) short story with one of my pen-pals. I think it’s supposed to be a mystery story. I am also writing my own story – a children’s story. I think it’s important that the books children read are wholesome and productive, and it’s hard to find books like that these days. I also…[Read more]

@widdrim I love a lot of kinds of poetry. Especially any kind that is very figurative and flowy. Blank Verse, Villanelles, and spoken word are probably some of what I read/write/appreciate the most, as well as general rhyme and rhythm poetry.
Outside of INFJ+ENFP duos, I also love the combination of INFJ+INTP, or the amazingly sarcastic and…[Read more]

@jenali @dragon-snapper I totally agree! I really like J and L names for heroes. Lately I’ve been noticing that I have a lot of J & L names in my WIP…so I might need to pay a bit more attention to that. 🙂
Meanings of names are also SUPER important to me. I always look up any name I like for a character to see what it means first, because…[Read more]

@northerner @winter-rose @perfect-fifths @daeus @kate-flournoy @overcomer @ethryndal @his-instrument @graciegirl @r-j-wordsmith @jess @Audrey-caylin I’ll be doing some sort of writing thing…again. Maybe finish up the story, or at least get partway through. 😛

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]

Bye @jess ! Glad you got your work done! 🙂
Sure, Jedi Writer @winter-rose , you can have a blue lightspen . I settled on a green one for myself. 😉
However, if you turn to the dark side of writing and let the Writer’s Block flow through you, you will be kicked out of the Jedi Writers Order and forced to use a red lightspen. 😉 🙂
Not that tha…[Read more]

DelightInLife replied to the topic Hello Everyone!! in the forum Start HERE 7 years, 8 months ago
@graciegirl Thanks so much! I was anticipating that! 🙂 No, actually. Sir Malcolm and the Missing Prince is medieval but the other books are not. I have a couple other favorites that are medieval, though I am always on the lookout for other good, historical fiction books set in the Middle Ages. Thanks for the book recommendation! No, I haven’t…[Read more]

@Kate-flournoy thanks!! I’m currently working on a Christian Dystopian novel, but I like to try my hand at a few different genres. I’ve written 5-ish books in all, I think.
@Jess hiii! 😀 Ooh tough question. Putting aside Tolkien and Narnia. 😛 I love Nadine Brandes’ Out of Time trilogy and other authors are Jaye L Knight, Anne Elizabeth Stengl…[Read more]

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. 😉
