Aiya @lifeofkatie , glad that you are a Tolkien fan and have turned up here!
What causes are you willing to sacrifice your life for? (And welcome)

@lifeofkatie KATIE!!! 😀 😀 😀 😀

Hello! Welcome!Iced fruit tea, and blue, Woop Woop! @lifeofkatie

@LifeofKatie Excellent. 😀

@LifeofKatie I’ve probably told you before and @Daeus already mentioned it, but—LES MIS OF COURSE. Seriously. 😀

Read any of the Scarlet Pimpernel books?

North and South—Elizabeth Gaskell (Really good period drama. BBC’s miniseries of it is just as good.)

A Tale of Two Cities of course. 🙂

The Ball and the Cross—Chesterton

Rolf and the…[Read more]

Ok, my top recommendations are these:

The Count of Monte Cristo — my all time favorite novel. It’s huge, but well worth every page. It’s historical fiction and high drama.

Cry The Beloved Country — The best explicitly Christian novel I’ve ever read. It’s very deep and very moving. It’s got heart for sure.

A Tale of Two Cities –…[Read more]

@lifeofkatie
Umm….
The Ranger’s Apprentice by John Flanagan is a medieval fantasy. (not sure if you’ve read that)
In Search of Honor by Donnalynn Hess is about the French Revolution
Ummm…
Johnny Tremain by Elizabeth Forbes
I’m sure if you asked @daeus he’d have you read the Count of Monte Crisco.

@daughteroftheking @kate-flournoy @lifeofkatie @daeus Thanks. I had a blast writing that Jedi poem with my brother.

@daeus. Yeah, rhythm is my biggest enemy. I never actually sat down and worked it out and perfected it. I made a couple of the changes you suggested, and am working on some others. Actually,

@lifeofkatie *runs into the room breathless, brushing cake crumbs and dirt from my cape*
Sorry I am late, but allow me to introduce you to myself, fair lady. I am Anne Greenleaf of Lothlorien, The Secret Lady of London.
Welcome to the land of the most insane, the most awesomest, the bestiestestiest ever friends on this planet, and even some of the…[Read more]

@LifeofKatie Aww…well…you’re welcome! XD Seriously though, I’m glad you feel so welcomed. 😀

Welcome to the site @lifeofkatie! Congrats on being roped in by some of our most enthusiastic forum members. 😉 Haven’t read any Spurgeon yet, but he’s on my list of theologians to read!

@lifeofkatie When I first took lessons, learning to strum and the chords, my teacher taught me how to read music with the guitar. Now, if I want to learn something, I’ll usually just pull up sheet music on the internet. That, or I’ll try to do it by ear. I did Misty Mountains and the Edge of Night by ear, though I usually need sheet music. 😛 Now,…[Read more]

@LifeofKatie HELLO AGAIN! Welcome, welcome, and thrice welcome! Etc., etc., etc. 😀 (Blue’s a good color.)

@lifeofkatie Ah, gotcha. It’s always nice to have something in memory cause that way if someone comes along and sticks a guitar in your hand and says, “Hey. Randomly play something impressive,” you can do that. 😛 Which songs do you like to memorize? The few fingerstyle songs I have memorized are Fur Elise, the Swallowtail Jig, Misty Mountains,…[Read more]

@lifeofkatie I’ll cheat and welcome you twice. WELCOME TWICE! We’re all slightly crazy over here, but if you know the Flournoys, you’re probably already aware of that. 😛 Can’t wait to see you around!

@LifeOfKatie *grins* I look forward to seeing you around. 😉

@LifeOfKatie heyyyyyy!! Welcome! I also had no idea you wrote, and which is just unpardonable of me as a six year friend, isn’t it? 😛 Glad to see you on KP. 😉 Lots of encouragement and stuff here.

@lifeofkatie 7 years! Nice! I’ve only been playing for 3ish, but I love it so much. I’ve been playing with my teen band for church, and just started picking up lessons again.
Fingerstyle is so beautiful. It’s so fun to play it. Do you read tablature or do you read music for the guitar? I especially enjoy just messing around on the guitar and…[Read more]
