She can be hard to find on Etsy (and online, sometimes); her shop name is “britsketch.” 🙂 She has both animated art and digital reproductions of original paper cut pieces. The animated pieces really shine at telling the deepest stories!

I agree—store-bought baked goods look beautiful but are bland. Oh, wow! Milling your own wheat? I bet…[Read more]

Hmm. Mental note made for future travel explorations! Oh, I’m sad to hear that! I’ll be praying for your restored health so you can adventure to your heart’s content. 🙂

That’s fantastic—the only one you never read! Right?? 🙂 I noticed the paperback cover fits within the general style of her other book covers, so the hardcover…[Read more]

A few things came to mind that I thought I’d share!

What do the sequel/reaction units look like in your Scenes*? After your main character’s scene/action goal is thwarted, the sequel/reaction unit is his decision-making process about what to do next. This part helps slow the story down and often takes the form of internal n…[Read more]

Those were reasons I liked Jane too! Oh, I agree–Mr. Rochester wasn’t my favorite either. He had a rather perverted way of showing his feelings for her. But, he became more tolerable once he was taken down a couple pegs. 🙂

I understood why Bronte did what she did though—have you looked into the sisters’ lives at all? As I under…[Read more]

Whoops! Can’t say that’s never happened to me before either! 🙂

Thanks for the welcome! Say, we’re state neighbors—I live an hour south of Seattle on the west side of Washington. Your area sounds very pretty; do you like living in the mountains? When I was little, my family drove through Idaho on a road trip to see the Laura I…[Read more]

I immediately recognized Margaret’s voice, which I was already familiar with from the BBC adaptation—just goes to show how well they captured her voice for the screen.

As for The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, I think Christie pulled it off brilliantly, especially when you reread sections after the…[Read more]

I haven’t read any of those actually—though North and South is on my TBR list! I just downloaded it onto my Kindle so I can explore it further. What about Bleak House did you enjoy?

Recently, I’ve read Beauty by Robin McKinley, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie, and Airborn by Kenneth Oppel…[Read more]

Thanks for the warm welcome, Evelyn! My friend happens to have the same name as you. 🙂

It is, actually! Oh, you are in for a real treat! I think it’d be fun to read in July or August–contrasting the blistering heat of summer with its Gothic coolness. Whenever you do happen to read it, I’d love to hear what you thought of it.

You know,…[Read more]

My name is Kristin Bradley and I am new to the forum. I am very passionate about well-written fiction, both in reading and writing it.

My passion started with Jane Eyre—I’ve never found a book to resonate so deeply or leave me speechless. A truly well-written piece of fiction! It left me inspired to see additional works of art…[Read more]
