I definitely recommend reading the other three books. Each one is better than the previous.
I’ve been wanting  to read And Then There Were None for years now, but still have not got past the first couple chapters. I think it’s because I got a little overwhelmed with all the characters, but of course, if I just continued r…[Read more]

Whoa! These all look awesome! It’s inspiring me to make some story photo collages. It’ll be something to motivate me to get my homework done. XD

I’ve taken the test multiple times, but like @devastate-lasting I always get a different answer. My “personality” drastically changes depending on the day and my mood, and who I’m around. Sooo, yeah. XD But my favorite genres to write in are fantasy, contemporary, crime, and sometimes sci-fi.

You may now rest assured as mystery is now a sub-category under writing genres! Now looking at it there are still quite a few genres missing. So if there are any other genres that anybody wants, Â just let me know and I’ll get on that posthaste.
When I was little I loved to read the classic Nancy Drew books, and also the A-Z Mysteries…[Read more]

Hey! Welcome to the
coffee aficionadoKingdom Pen Forum!Have you read all 600 books you own? If so, that’s really impressive! I would like to say the same for myself, but I’m afraid my number is far below that. XD
What are some of your all-time favorite books?

I haven’t read The Maze Runner series, but I have heard long rants from my siblings about the trilogy. XD They are quite notorious in my household.

But no, Sir Starkey, we folk at Kingdom Pen know how to disagree without tearing each other apart, you see. One of the finer attributes of the KeePers.
I have not read that series but I have heard much about it, and they weren’t very good things. XD Fun fact, my older sister and brother actually went to a book signing…[Read more]

@joy-caroline @devastate-lasting
I’ve been meaning to read Pride and Prejudice because it’s so popular and, you know, it’s a classic. But my sister has the same opinion as you guys about P&P, so I’m sorta reconsidering my decision to someday read that book. Maybe I’ll read it when I completely run out of books to read. XD
I did watch the movie…[Read more]

What is a popular book that you dislike? Why do you dislike it? What could have made it better?
For me, it would be Jane Eyre. I definitely don’t hate Jane Eyre and it’s certainly not the worst book I’ve read, but I also didn’t enjoy it either. Mainly because of the main love interest Mr. Rochester, who seriously creeped me out from the beginning…[Read more] -

Awesome idea! I’ve been thinking of doing something similar for my short stories, but with scrap booking instead of a box of things. So like having a page or pages in a scrapbook dedicated to each of the different short stories. It would have pages the color of the story’s mood, pictures that mirror the events and characters,…[Read more]

Welcome to the forum! It’s so awesome to have you here on this fine morning in the Kingdom of Pen.
I’m so happy you like the articles! All of the authors are simply fans and volunteers of Kingdom Pen sharing their experience and lessons they’ve learned from writing. Which is I think why it feels so special.
Oooh, I love graphic…[Read more]

That’s great to know! Even though it’s a bit slow as of now, I still really like the atmosphere and the the set up. I’m looking forward to how the story plays out, and if any of the characters get any character development.

Today I read a couple more chapters of Spinning Silver and my initial enthusiasm has definitely dropped as the characters continue to be bland, (and sometimes outright mean), and the inciting event hasn’t happened yet even though I’m in the fifth chapter. So I’m getting a bit bored, but not to the point of quitting reading the…[Read more]

I made a Goodreads account when I was like, eight, but I haven’t been active on it for a few years now.

So I’ll get back to you with my username when I find my old account and…[Read more]

Today I read the first couple chapters of Spinning Siver by Niomi Novik. It’s an adult fantasy book that I’m pretty sure is a retelling of Rumpelstiltskin.
So far I’m enjoying it! The atmosphere is really nice, and every time I read it it’s like I’m being transported into a magical winter forest. Â Although I’m only a couple of chapters in, I can…[Read more]

So as you’ve probably heard a million times by authors, is the importance of reading as a writer. But I’ve actually have learned way more about writing by talking about books I’ve read than actually reading the book. And besides, talking about books is probably one of a writer’s favorite things to do, even without all the benefits of improving…[Read more]
