And that’s just scraping the surface of my favourites list. 😛

@jessi-rae Yeah, it’s pretty well-written! I like the tone. I think you’d enjoy reading the Wingfeather Saga too if you like the Door Within. It’s an amazing four-book series by Andrew Peterson. It has more or less the same theme as the Door Within, but different. 🙂

@graciegirl I know! lol I wrote about it on “Favorite book” and then I saw this haha. The trailer looked AWESOME. I can’t stop watching it!

@graciegirl Did you hear the Disney is making a new movie based on Wrinkle in Time? Based on the trailer, it looked interesting.
I didn’t know Peter Pan was a book! lol

@emily Didn’t Jane Austen write Pride and Prejudice, or is that a different one?

@jessi-rae I think I might have read part of the first book from the Door Within! Doesn’t it involve a boy (I think his name was Aidan) who find three vases in his basement and then goes on an adventure with a dragon? With a king he read about in…[Read more]

@graciegirl heya! welcome!

@emily @catwing @ingridrd I’m writing, and maybe making a WIP collage

The count of Monte Cristo

David Copperfield

The Baker Family series

and the rest are escaping me right now

@ingridrd b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l!!! I love it. So mystical

@Dekreel ooh, Night! That is one powerful little book.

For myself… Les Miserables, The Lord of the Rings, Fahrenheit 451, A Tale of Two Cities, The Count of Monte Cristo, A Christmas Carol, Lord of the Flies, the Mistborn Trilogy, The Roman-Britain Trilogy, The Red Keep… and the list goes on. 😛

So apparently I really need to read Harry Potter. Haven’t read it or seen it. Might as well put it on my reading list. 🙂

@that_writer_girl_99 I’m sort of the same way – I have read a couple Doctor Who books that are based off of the episodes, and I used to love them. But, they aren’t as good as the actual show. Sorta like LOTR only the other…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy Ah! All my friends say Les Mis is too long! I’m glad I found someone who likes it! I’m only halfway through the book, but I really like it so far!

@salome01w4g I agree with @emily – George Speare is great. I like her book The Bronze Bow.
I would also highly recommend James Herriot (I know you’ve read them, but anyone else who hasn’t should check him out!), Les Miserables by Victor Hugo, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith, and Night by Elie Wiesel.

Thank you all very much! I will look into the changes
@daughteroftheking Don’t feel bad – my English teacher didn’t get it the first time either!

@Dekreel to tone it down from being so dark, you could change the aspects of fear and horror/dismay that the tree feels, to a sense of confusion and curiosity. That would shift the mood from ‘scary’ to a much lighter feel.

A way to avoid so much of the human terminology you can use similes instead. Saying “I feel a great, pulsing joy in my heart”…[Read more]

Anyone?
