What readest thou?

I just finished the Thief by Megan Whalen Turner. It was pretty fun and amusing. The way the author weaves things together that you don't realize until later was an important clue or a twist in a turn of phrasing. It is set in more ancient times with a twist of mythology that is reminiscent of greek myths. I can't think of anything really that might be an issue.

(I also have finished the next book after it, the Queen of Attolia, but it's tone is much more serious, due to something that happens to the hero, as well as wars, politics and a pretty ruthless leader queen. However, why she is is explained. It's young adult fiction, but I would definitely recommend to older readers. I haven't read the third one yet, however I am expecting it to be more lighthearted again. Hopefully!)

@Hobbit: Oh, both. Kinda hard to read, not too bad. Way to much content.


Going back into Redwall series, after dropping it for a while. I LOVE THESE BOOKS!

*Has tons of books on my reading list that I want to read, but is still accepting more suggestions*

If you like Watership Down, you will like Redwall.

I haven't quite finished that because I'm slow, and time is not something that I have a lot of, but I'm working on it

I didn't think to post this when I read it, but I recently read Phil Vischer's book Me, Myself and Bob wherein he writes about his life, creating Veggietales, dreaming big, and how he dealt with his own dreams being taken away from him.

It is a good book if you want to use media to influence people for God or like Veggietales in general.

[Ariel.of.Narnia]

I finished "The Scriptures Testify of Me", edited by DA Carson. And then I read "The Hero of Hacksaw Ridge" (warning for war violence) by Booton Herndon.

And now I'm about to read "The Case of Christ" by Lee Strobel.

I just finished reading the Door Within trilogy, on Pev’s suggestion, along with backup from Jaygee, since she said somewhere in this thread that she liked it.

There were parts that reminded me of Narnia and LotR, and there were epic characters and interesting original ideas. I think it's an awesome series.

Yay! Someone else read Door Within!

I re-read The Shunning by Beverly Lewis, since my family re-watched the Hallmark movies based on the series. I found myself surprised; I actually like the movie, for the first one, at least, better. The parents are much more relate able, even if the book is more realistic.

I've read The Door Within too! It's pretty good, but it reminded me more of LotR more than Narnia, although, of course Batson uses a good deal of allegory in the series too. And the dual-person concept was very interesting (everyone in this series is both on Earth but has an separate self in the other world of Alleble.)

I also recommend the Dragon's in Our Midst series by Bryan Davis. He is a Narnia fan.
