The Happy Bookaholic

*chokes* Well that was unexpected. @Emma-Flournoy

And I love that @R-J-Wordsmith. 😀

Okay! I think I finally got some stuff organized here. 😀

1. Harold enters a treacherous swamp to save Denholm, who does not seem to grasp the gravity of the situation.
Mkay, so I finally got Harold’s EIL somewhat figured out.
E.I.L.: that the world is worth being a part of because man, deep down, is basically good. (Note: Harold is a c…[Read more]

That’s awesome @Vanna! Perfect use of foil characters and thematic contrasts. *thumbs up* Sounds like you absolutely nailed a good (skillful rather 😉 ) love triangle.

@r-j-wordsmith
What are you trying to do? Make me cry my eyes out??? *blows nose and wipes away tears*
This is so simple but beautifully written. I did notice some spelling and punctation errors, but other than that, it’s really good. I see now from your post above what the “Condemned” sign means, but maybe you could make that a little clearer.…[Read more]

Each door was painted with a different name in careful golden letters, and each name just as carefully crossed out.

@Aratrea Monday, Feb. 27th at 7-8 pm EST is the only one that’ll work for me. This sounds super exciting and I’d love to do it, but if I’m out-voted don’t worry about leaving me out of the rotation. 😉

Whoa @Ethryndal that could get crazy. *grins* Thank you.

Of the thirteen blank, sterile white doors in the blank, sterile grey wall, one was painted a soft shade of creamy yellow. Pasted in ugly xs all across it were strips of yellow tape marked DANGER. DO NOT ENTER.

This should totally be a children’s book. With the right illustrations it would be perfect. I love it. As Emma pointed out, a few errors as far as punctuation and spelling, but otherwise it’s lovely. Good work, @R-J-Wordsmith.

@Rachelle yes, I love poetry. 😉 I wouldn’t consider myself A POET but I love poetry. One of my very favorites of Tolkien’s… actually I can’t pick a favorite. I love them all. XD
As for favorite movies, um… probably LotR, Rigoletto, Henry V, Little Dorrit, Monsters Inc., Pride & Prejudice, Captain America: The First Avenger, and a lot of…[Read more]

Welcome @Rachelle. 🙂 This is indeed an amazing place. This community has helped me so much I wouldn’t even know where to start listing it all. So glad to have you here!
Do you like poetry? What are some of your favorite books/movies?

@Dragon-Snapper more recently being afraid that I’ve taken on more than I can handle and will ruin something good with my inexperience. But the comfort is, I can only get better from here, and the harder I try, the more I learn. 😉

@Emma-Flournoy *flat stare*

These are so awesome guys!

@Emma-Flournoy… and sis. Seriously. You need to write a book.

@Daeus okay. I figured it was something like that. 😉

Mkay guys, new topic. How about… doors?
The door in the side of the mountain had been painted a bright new shade of pink.

@Daeus no. You tagged me with a definition of a wyvern and now I don’t see that post anywhere on this thread.

You wake up in the middle of the night to a strange beeping noise. Your phone lies on the table next to your bed, with four words flashing across the screen, thick and fuzzy through heavy static: ‘YOU ARE NOT ALONE’.

Your phone rings as…[Read more]

@GracieGirl YESSS wasn’t it amazing? It made me cry, and I hardly ever cry at books anymore. Edwin was my favorite but Rameaux is close second. Then Drake. Then Blackhood. (No spoilers people. Let’s be nice to those on here who haven’t read it). And… yes. I loved it.

… where did @Daeus go? There was… he tagged me and gave me the definition of a wyvern. What just happened? 😛
