I just signed up!! thanks! I have so much wanted to do this!!
I also found a bunch of links on facebook too!
Be careful with those links, and if they ask too many of your personal information, donāt give it to them. We are in dangerous times when it comes to this site, and there are people who are prowling around them links to steal, and do many other damage to others. They are āālurking aroundāā donāt become a victim so be cautious. With one link a lady lost $3,500.

Because I really adore English and its Grammar in particular, Iām currently reading this awesome book written by an equally awesome writer:
and a lot of us Englishers mess up the language, esp those commas for one. I think I got a book like that in my ācollectionā
In South Korea, subway cars have mini libraries. How freaking awesome is this?
Wow, that is cool!
I already like the little libraries that people put up around the neighborhood [you can take a book and leave one of your own], but this is cool on another level
got them around my area, I think they are awesome!
I found a book āin my collectionā I have forgotten about.Being I am a frustrated writer, need all the help I can get. this one "Building Believable characters.

All-time favorite book: The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova
First book I finished myself: Original Sin (Been trying to it published for a while now, but the market isnāt great for high fantasy at the moment.)
Current idea: Mafia romance with a genetic-tampering sci-fi twist (Thought Iād try my hand at writing what the current market likes yet attempt to stay true to my fantasy roots. However, it has become far too similar to 365 days, and the sci-fi element has gotten lost. So, we scrap that idea and try something different.)
Books I go to when I need inspiration:
-Beowulf
-Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
-Othello
-Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead
-Dracula
-The Comet Seekers
-The Righteous Mind: Why good men are divided by religion and politics
***I also get a lot of inspiration from the Bible. Thatās my go-toā¦spinning religious topics into high fantasy ideas.
I didnāt realize until after I made the post that my choice of books are incredibly classical. Who even reads this stuff anymore? LOLs
thats why I am called āFrustrated writerā , love to write,
I will try and finish what I have started reading over the holidays
You do. And thatās totally awesome.
Atlantis Gene, now this one is interesting, at this time I donāt or havenāt read anything about āAtlantisā as far as I can tell its a virus of sorts the book goes from one thing to another.
it is really good when I do get into it, but gosh so many twists and turns. when I tell you this one, you can laugh, as some of you know I am a genealogist at heart, well the person that is heading the research, last name? WARNER!!! my maiden name, ok laugh, and of course thats another reason why I am reading this as well
Darkover Landfill(Marion Zimmer Bradley) this lady was an awesome sci fi writer, she did some stories of Atlantis btw
The Skin map(Stephen Lawhead) I have just started reading some of his books,
Wed & Buried(Mary Daheim) bed & breakfast mysteries
I have read a lot of her books, they are good
this is just an update from my last message. I said I was going to start reading them and I have this past week done that.
Sailormoon4ever, song of solomon a good one, anyway thats just one. heres something you could research, Solomon & Queen of Sheba, 1, did they or did they not, have a child?
2, later did that child take the arc of covenent to his homeland, is it still there? could create a terrific mystery there
Our internet went out last night, and we couldnāt get a tech to our house until this morning, so for the first time in a couple years (since I fell down the Asian drama rabbit hole and got addicted) I picked up a book to read before bed instead of my tablet.
The book of choice was āThe Art Forgerā by B.A. Shapiro. Iām already about a third through, and I canāt put it down. It looks like drama and dance/music videos will be taking a back seat until I get this puppy finished.
I am still reading from my list, a couple are quite boring, I may go to the last page and read last chapter then go on to something else
are we like this???
