Thanks, @kristinbradley! My program is year-round, so I don’t get much breaks, but I’ve got about 1.5 years or so left. Some days I wonder why I’ve done this to myself. 😅
I have class tonight and work all day beforehand, but my muse decided to keep me awake until like… 2:30a or so. So… probably an energy drink day. >.<

Aww, that is sweet of you. It has been the most blessed things that’s ever happened to me, though, just ’cause I have learned SO much! I’m grateful for the Lord’s strength when I am weak. 🙂
Yes, I know, lol! That is an interesting thought on the cover…I guess it makes sense, though. Have you read her other books?

@kristinbradley I’ve never heard of Brittney Lee. I should go look his work up!
Yes! Store-bought bread is nothing like homemade. Especially that white, fluffy kind which feels like nothing but air and sugar. 😛 Store-bought baked goods always seem to go for looking pretty and vibrant, and sugar. Not for savory or tasty or wholesome, which is sad…[Read more]

@kristinbradley I like a lot of eras, but have most studied Roman, Jewish and 1800s in the west. Ooh, I love Elizabeth George Speare! I have read all her books. Calico Captive is actually my least favorite of her books because the others are just sooo good! (And yeah, I have the ugly paperback XD)

@myclipboardismyviolin Ah, well. I guess I would agree to an extent. Even though I dislike CCM music, there are some really good poets and songwriters that I listen to. (:
What kind of poetry do you like to write?
@kristinbradley My favorite poets would be J.R.R. Tolkien, Emily Dickenson, and Shel Shilverstien. Of the first, I mainly appreciate…[Read more]

Oh, that sounds neat. I don’t know that I have ever read much set in the Ozarks, but that does sound really beautiful. We lived in the woods, and it was gorgeous. I think where we live now is even more beautiful, though. I love this area of Idaho! We have not gone back yet, but I hope to before long. Health issues keep me from…[Read more]

*puts up hand* I would join a poetry guild, if one was available. I enjoy poetry. The problem is that ol’ poetry is not as monetizable as stories and not as infamous in Christian circles for being bad. Our musicians generally aren’t knocked on for lack of skill, just lack of popularity.
@kristinbradley I enjoyed Jane Eyre. Feisty Jane reminded…[Read more]

Oh yes, I absolutely love the area. I was born in AK, and I have always loved mountains and all of the gorgeousness that comes with them! 🙂
I love history, and read a lot of his-fic, as well as writing it. Love reading good books like I do writing them. 😀 How about you? I noticed you said you enjoyed studying Biblical…[Read more]

@kristinbradley No, I haven’t watched that! I should look into it.
I do prefer starting a book (especially a mystery) without knowing where it is going. That spoils the whole experience! The few exceptions are when someone shows me the movie first, and then I want to read the book as well.
Yay! I’m so glad! No, I’m afraid Rillumen is not a…[Read more]

@kristinbradley I write and read mostly historical fiction. I read non fiction too.

Yep, it is 😀
I’m not sure if there was one thing I liked about Jane. I guess she just reminded me a lot of myself. I’m not pretty, I have a temper, and I’m rather fierce. The only thing I didn’t like was that she fell in love with Mr Rochester. I hated Mr Rochester.
So.
Actually, the only other one I’ve read is Agnes Grey by A…[Read more]

Hello there! I’m SeekJustice, from Australia, where its currently very cold.
I read Jane Eyre either last year or the year before and I really enjoyed it. I related a lot to Jane as well 🙂 And since then I’ve gone onto read a few other Bronte books, though I haven’t tackled Wuthering Heights yet. Have you read that one?
What…[Read more]

@kristinbradley I love that adaption. It’s so good! Usually when reading a book after watching the BBC version I can see it play out scene by scene perfectly.
The Murder of Roger Ackroyd… well I was pretty upset that the narrator was guilty. I had really been cheering for him. But! I enjoyed it. Ah! And Then There Were None! That one I really…[Read more]

@kristinbradley Not exactly… I love some classics! But then I love some contemporary! And then I love some mystery! And then I love some fantasy! Etc. I’d say I love a good book. “Good Books” are my favorite genre. 😉
Ah, North and South is so good! I hope you enjoy it. I actually read The Murder of Roger Ackroyd recently too. It wasn’t my…[Read more]
