Bearded men are hot. Why don’t heroes ever have beards?

I know right? Not that I’m that into bearded men, but sometimes a male character would look even better if he had a beard.

For me, I realize I have a thing for rugged guy characters. Charries with lines on their faces from obvious work and survival–you probably are like “I k…[Read more]

@whalekeeper sounds like a plan!

@theshadow

That’s why we need Christian writers to write genuinely good books without all the fluff the world shoehorns in.

It ain’t fluff.

It’s usually a steaming pile of horse nuggets, is what it is.

@whalekeeper martial arts memes are welcome, my brother and dad (who are currently yellow belts in tae kwon do) will probably think they’re funny.

@theducktator haha I think I’ve seen the same kind of thing before

“Live, Laugh, Love. If that doesn’t work, Load, Aim, Fire.” -A bumper sticker I saw

@savannah_grace2009

*screams* I use the guinea pig analogy all the time! I’ve struggled with school and my mom can’t help me because she doesn’t know what she’s doing, but now my siblings are in those grades and mom can actually help them! How many younger siblings do you have?

Am I the only one here who has never wanted an older brother?

@esther-c
I LOVE HUGS. I want a hug too, please.

@raxforge

Cool!! 😄 Are you a white belt too? How long have you been training?

@esther-c @theducktator

Let me guess…KotLC? 👀

Keeper of the Lost Cities?

…You caught me. XD Yes, KotLC. I am on book eight, and very happy to see Sophie and Fitz at least partially together now. I know it isn’t going to last very long because the story is going to switch favor to Keefe, but I got a break from the romance plot and it felt like s…[Read more]

@esther-c

I’m also tired of the “oh no it’s cold we’d better snuggle together for warmth” trope. Dress for the weather!

@whalekeeper

or example, in the series I’m reading, seven books have passed and the heroine has finally realized her crush likes her back. The hints were agonizingly obvious. He was giving you gifts, girl. He initiated a unique telepathic connection with you. His friends have openly joked about your feelings for each other.

Keeper of the Lost Cities?

@esther-c

I’m pretty sure I have more, but here’s nine.

1. NO. MATURE. RELATIONSHIPS. BETWEEN. CHILDREN. I have read about 2 books ever that had elementry/middle school relationships well written. I don’t care if in real life 12 year olds date. I don’t want to read about it.
2. Love at first sight. It’s not love, it’s just attraction.
3. Why are…

Aannnddd I’m left in the dust. What is it with you night owls?

oh boy, you mention “doctor” and Rory’ll flip out bad.

You don’t want to see that.

Rory

When Barnes actually took off her mask, Rory started in surprise a little. He had been preparing to surprise her and somehow get it off. He needed to see the face b…[Read more]

@esther-c

I agree with @koshka and @elishavet-pidyon

I would also add,

1. A lot of physical contact before marriage

2. Only being able to have a relationship when alone. I prefer that one of the first times this couple is alone is when he asks her to marry him. Show them getting to know each others families, hanging out at church, spending…[Read more]

@liberty

Yes, and the weird thing is I got two emails at once both saying the same thing. It’s like my last registration actually went through….. I hope being signed up two times isn’t a problem.

Leo

That was a valid idea, one he’d happily get behind if they could figure out a way. It might save them from another relocation.

“I don’t know, but I’m not experienced in convincing. Just disappearing and mechanics. If we could…” He glanced at Rory. Silvia was right. The boy did look like he’d seen a bit too…[Read more]

@koshka @ellette-giselle

Barnes

This information had only been guesswork up until this point. Now, Barnes could remember Rory’s file. It had been newer than the others, and very scarce of words.

“Is there a way of convincing them Rory isn’t worth the risk? To them, not us,” she added.
