The Wingfeather Saga that you’re talking about is the one that starts out with On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness, right? I listened to an audiobook for that one, but haven’t been able to find the others in physical form. Andrew Peterson’s writing vaguely reminds me of N. D. Wilson’s, ever you’ve ever read his books. Not so much the prose as the story, though.

I haven’t read the whole series, but the first three are amazing. I would definitely recommend. Rilla of Ingleside was also pretty good

I’ll have to finally add them to my “read before summer is over” list then (:

There’s a closeness to first person that you just can’t get in third. Have you ever read Old Yeller? That book has really good first person.

There is! But it’s definitely a practiced skill. Just one I tend to be too timid to practice often, haha. And yes! It really does.

Books I keep coming back to are Rifles for Watie (historical fiction, it’s really good), Anne of Green Gables, Laura’s Choice (another historical fiction), Little Women, and probably These Happy Golden Years (Little House on the Prairie).

Rifles for Watie sounded so familiar, I went glancing around the house (my books are everywhere) for it. Sure enough, I found it on one of the shelves. One of my friends must have given it to me with a stack of others and I haven’t gotten to it yet. It’s the only one on your list I haven’t read, so I think I’ll have to check it out.

I tend to come back to Little Women, Ben-Hur, Sir Gibbie, the Light of Eidon (I regard this as bizarre (it’s location on this list), because I dislike much of the rest of the series this book is in, but I really love the MCs development), and The Castaways of the Flying Dutchman. Before I got bored of the popular romance genre (and Elizabeth Camden’s tendency to follow a strict formula in her books), I read Against the Tide a lot, as well.

What’s your WIP about?
