Wow! Best of wishes to your NNWM! A seven part short story sounds amazing – I’ve never even written one yet 😛 What writing level are you in?

Yes, I do recommend Blade Runner 2049 if you like such stories. There are some content issues, unfortunately, but I found it overall to be worth the watch (perhaps you can use a filter… or just plain old wise discretion like I did). I completely fell in love with the arc of the main character K, and the surprises the plot threw me through were all well done. (If you’re interested, I found these two articles to be very well written about the film: Paul Asay is a reviewer for PluggedIn.com of Focus On the Family, https://www.patheos.com/blogs/watchinggod/2017/10/getting-blade-runner-2049s-soul-without-getting-spoilers/   and WORLD: https://world.wng.org/2017/10/thirty_years_later) If you do watch it sometime, I’d love to know your thoughts on it.

Alright. Enough gushing about my fav. Film. 😉

Interesting! I love the Ancient times as well – Greek and Biblical history specifically. I studied some Russian history during AP Euro History, but never really read more on it – do you have any recommends for the period? I do like Dostoevsky & Tolstoy, but they are not really czar history era material (War & Peace kind of counts. Maybe 🙂 My favorite is the American Founding period – I’m a huge Thomas Jefferson fan. When I took my AP US History course, I wasn’t very thrilled with the WWI&II period and afterwards unfortunately, mostly because of my strong disagreement with Woodrow Wilson and FDR and their political ideologies and the postwar godlessness attitude in general, but I did like reading The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. 🙂

Do you have some go-to biographers/historians or hist-fic authors that you think I should add to my read list? (Do you use Goodreads?)
