Oooo, that’s a very exciting list of have-reads!

What did you think about the  The Wilderking Trilogy? I’ve only read the first book and am interested in the rest.

Also, how did you like Princess Academy? I read that series a while ago, and liked it well enough. A little mushy, but that’s a common complaint of mine. 😉

(I’m not…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon

That means the books must have been either really good, or simply dreadful. XD

[As I have read the Green Ember series I’ll go with the former (Helmet’s just great!)]

Oh, and I have another! (How could I forget?) It’s the one about a slave in Akalone that’s part of the Goodson line of royalty.

I have a lot of Green Ember fanfiction ideas! 😂

@keilah-h

I have written three fanfics, and am writing one (Wilfred’s journal). All except for the journal were short stories.

One is about some Araluen rangers. It’s got an interesting idea, but is horribly written. -_-

Another is about Garten’s discovery of the existence of Jupiter’s heir. Once more, fascinating idea that holds some promise,…[Read more]

@joy-caroline   @elishavet-pidyon

Both of y’all’s books sound amazing! (Yes I’ve been stalking this topic =] ) I hope they get published soon so I can read them.

I’m not writing an allegory in particular, but simply portraying truths in a different way. (Or is that what a parable is?) However, I keep running into rough spots. Here’s one.

@trahia-the-minstrel

There were probably more, but I’ve forgotten them😅. Anyway, I absolutely love reading, and I devour new books anytime I can get them.

You sound like my older siblings. XD

Only four books? That’s so sad, but I completely understand. I haven’t read as much this year as I would have liked.

The Secret Garden is definitely one of my all-time favorites.

Eeeek! I shall try my best to recall. (These are only first timers, and I didn’t look up any of these titles, so if I mess something up… Oh well.) No particular…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Yes!

@trahia-the-minstrel

That is a long list, and many of which I have never heard of. 🙂

I have a friend that loves the Mark of the Lion series, but I haven’t read it yet.

Happy New Year!

@kathleenramm

Yay! This will be interesting. 🙂

I’ve read all those books except for The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. The Secret Garden is fabulous!

(There are some great middle grade books. I mean, wasn’t Narnia for children?) 😉

My reading list looks like a fiction salad with a handful of non-fiction croutons.

What books have I…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Oof! I hate when that happens.

Me too. (Wanna guess why I’m late again?)

This made me laugh harder than it probably should have.

Good! XD But, yeah, it does get annoying.

I wish more books would do that. *sigh* I know your main character is heroic, but we gotta be realistic, y’all.

Yes! Ugh.

(Hope you enjoy it.)

I KNOWWWW. Well, I g…

@avacoulter

Your mock cover is absolutely beautiful!

@trahia-the-minstrel

Thanks! It will be fun to try, at least. 🙂

I know! It’s so funny. I’m looking forward to yours too.

@joy-caroline

Hi! Sorry it took so long to reply, I was a few sentences from finishing my response yesterday, but my phone died. Vamoose!!! There went the past hours’ work. So, now that I’ve finally gotten back….

I think so too. 😉 It’s not used to it’s potential (but the, it’s not cliche either).

Especially then. Oy, a sacrificial character…[Read more]

@lydia-s

Thanks! I have some more contemplative lines, especially in the one where he’s given charge of the heir. You know, the whole “here I am, guarding one who’s father I let die. I hope this doesn’t get him killed too.”

But Wilfred has a resilient humor that I’ve had fun expounding on.

Yes, fanfics are great!

Yours sounds so good. That’s a…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Haha, ugh. I’ll have to finish it. It was actually somewhere in Waterloo that I bottomed out. After a few attempts to read on, I returned the book to the library.

Yes! A complex backstory is like honey in sourdough. Technically not necessary, but important if you want to make good dinner rolls. 😉

As for a favorite trope? Well,…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

XD Oh no! Yeah, I would like him to live longer, but I think it’s an important plot point, character struggle, and place to relate to the reader. He is a protagonist, though, so… I don’t know. For a complete confession, (and funny fact) I actually made his character starting from his death and moving backward. It’s been an…[Read more]

@autumn-rebecca

Exactly! XD

@autumn-rebecca

I hope so… =/

Thanks, and your welcome! I probably talk about my books waayyy too much. XD

@joy-caroline

Ugh, yes. Why, oh, why must authors think they have to – or that it’s just fine if they do? IT’S GOD’S WORD, not a toy?! And like you said, the Bible is moving in itself. No need for embellishment.

*Heavy sigh*

ANYWAY….

The Life of Jesus, you say? I’ll have to look into it.

Okay, that’s fine! I understand. (Why can I still…[Read more]
