Hello! Welcome to Story Embers! It’s a pleasure to meet you!
I love many of your favorite authors as well! But I was so surprised – and glad – to find you mentioned Gene Stratton-Porter! I’m currently reading the Girl of the Limberlost.
Absolutely love that quote, by the way!

Salutations! 😉 I am so glad you like Greek/Roman times! I do too! George MacDonald’s The Golden Key is one of my absolute favorite books! Have you read Till We Have Faces by C. S. Lewis? It’s a retelling of the Cupid and Psyche myth.
Welcome Abigail! I’ve been so surprised by how many historical…[Read more]

Thank you so much for sharing, Mariposa! This is so sweet! I absolutely loved it! There is something so tender and heartfelt and delightfully, imaginatively child-like in your writing! Reading this just made me want to be little girl curled up reading Anne of Green Gables and Little Women again! God bless!
P.S. Please send my love to Aberdeen!

Thank you so very much for this! I was recently given a beautiful notebook from Mexico and wanted to use it for journaling, though I had no idea how to start (and every day that I was resolutely determined to start, I was kept back by the exact same thing: busy life). Your article encouraged me so much! Thank you!

Thank you, Emily! My, I haven’t written poetry in quite a while…not complete ones… but I should so like to take it up again!
“Sometimes I’m ashamed at how many books I haven’t read.”
If it makes you feel any better, I’ve felt the same way, hahaha! 😉 By the Way, I love Book Theif and Beauty and the Beast so much too! Have you watch…[Read more]

I’m so I’m so glad you’re recovering so quickly! 🙂 (By the way, I found out about your accident when I found a post about it in a Prayer Request thread.)
How far have I read?…I think I’ve read up to chapter twenty five, so far…its most exciting! Though I will admit that it can get dark.
I absolutely LOVE how human everyone feels!…[Read more]

Hi Ashira!
Please forgive me for not answering earlier! These last weeks have been crazy for me!
Thank you! I do love both books! I love the depth of the Characters and how dynamic they are in the Bronze Bow. And Eloise Jarvis McGraw has such a vivid style and love of gritty characters – her books feel SO real, even if certain details…[Read more]

Dear Emily of New Moon,
How are you feeling? I heard you had an accident! I will be praying for you! I so hope you’re feeling better!
I’m now reading the Count of Monte Cristo!!! I’ve barely started, though it’s most engrossing! Any tips or favorite passages or themes?
Love,

Thank you for the post! I saw it on Thanksgiving but could write back at the moment. It can be so easy to forget why this holiday is actually here and the history behind it amid the busyness! (The turkey! the stuffing! The gravy! Oh my! LOL 🙂 )
Forgive me, I meant to write earlier on your post about your college placement test.…[Read more]
