I just now realized you mentioned you already liked some of Tolkien and C.S. Lewis’ works (and owned TWS), so sorry about that. XD. Also, I just remembered: if you ever want to try out a nonfiction book, you could look into The Writer’s Journey. It helps you structure your story, figure out character roles, and also touches on the T…[Read more]

*grins cheekily* *rubs hands together* Oh goodness, thank you for beginning such a lovely (and helpful) topic! You’re not the only one racking the shelves for good books. XD Anyways, I’d love to help you out if I could with finding some book recommendations, my dear writing friend. 😉 Though, I think we have similar taste, so most of…[Read more]

I had to hop on as soon as I saw the title XD

Older Classics:

• The Wide, Wide World by Susan Warner. I really really love this book; it is a slow read but so worth it.
• Jane Austen Books: Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Emma, Mansfield Park, Persuasion, and Northanger Abbey.
• Jane Erye by Charlotte Bronte (though, to…

Ah, I totally understand about college reading lists. And I would recommend The Book of Three by Lloyd Alexander but you’ve already read that series…

If you like historical fiction (and are okay with a legal thriller) I would suggest The Trials of Kit Shannon by James Scott Bell! It’s a series about a girl in 1903 who is trying to…[Read more]

@lewilliams Yeah, I get that. I’ve been trying to read more, too!!! Alrighty, *rubs hands together eagerly* I’m always down for giving out awesome recs. I don’t know if any of this will interest you, since I’m normally a loner in the books I enjoy. XD But I just recently read Fawkes by Nadine Brandes and Dust by Kara Swanson and they were SO…[Read more]

@lewilliams Highly recommend Keepers of the Lost city! I haven’t read them all but I’ve read like 7 of them and they’re great!!

@lewilliams

E.D.E.N. Southworth’s books are awesome! I’ve read Ishmael, its sequel Self-Raised, and I’m working on The Hidden Hand. They’re all set in pre-Civil War USA (Though Self-Raised takes place in several different countries.), and they’re very well written. Self-Raised is probably my favorite. 🙂 Till We Have Faces by C.S. Lewis is also a winner.

@lewilliams Ah, yes, books. Also something I’ve been struggling with lately. But I’d be glad to give you some reccs of books that I love! Although, I have to warn you…lately I haven’t been able to stomach anything other than classic lit, so maybe a lot of these books will have the same flavor as the things that you read for your college…[Read more]

Also, working in a library?? I am so jealous!!!! I would love to do that XD

@lewilliams

Have you read the Green Ember series? That’s definitely one of my favorites.

Any of you lovely ladies up for sprinting for… erm… five-ish hours? 😛 I’ll be writing off and on for the majority of this morning and this early afternoon (Long car trips are great for…[Read more]

Hello! Good to meet you! I love your name. 😉

Now, to answer your questions:

1. tea! I like over-brewed tea, which almost looks like coffee. Yum!

2. I like to knit, practice calligraphy, run, and hang out with my family.

3. I love the Ashtown Burials series. Do you have a favorite book by him – if you’ve read any?

@lewilliams Hey Elizabeth, fistbump right back at you!

When you aren’t writing, what kind of things do you like to do for fun?

When I’m not writing, I like reading (when I have the focus for it) or hanging out with my sister. I like doing active things either with a friend or alone. Most of my best thinking is done away from the computer, then l…[Read more]

And I’m going to tag some more peeps, ’cause writing contests are the best!!!!!!! 😉
