Saw your post on Worldwide Friends. Nice! How brave of you ( including Twilight Saga in your list of favorites). I have also been judged because of it. Anyhow, who wouldn’t love the Cullens? Especially Jasper, my dear. 🙂

Can’t blame you there. I used to like him (Carlisle) only until I knew of Jasper’s harsh past. His nobility and all that. Lol. As if he’s in one of my history books.

Yes, I get that a lot! I actually don’t have it in me to be overly critical about any piece of work because being a writer myself, I know that every story has an audience that can relate to it.
Besides, all those people who mock Bella and her depression over her Vamp BF leaving, if you had a super hot boyfriend (Damon Somerhalder types) or girlfriend (pick any super hot actress 😛 ), wouldn’t you be equally depressed about them abandoing you to live your boring drab existence!??? 😛
So, I totally get it! And hence, the inclusion in my list!

I love The Little Prince too! And ditto! I think it would take me an essay to list down all the books that I love. You already know about HP and LoTR. To name a few others: A Song of Ice and Fire series; lot of chick-lit on the lines of The Devil Wears Prada and The Princess Diaries; The Alchemist and other works by Paulo Coelho; I am currently reading the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon and watching the show based on the same… completely hooked!

Hey you on goodreads? & Wow Outlander. I only saw a glimpse of it’s scenes once. I can’t say I haven’t thought about reading it a million times but every time I see other books and just run in their direction, completely forgetting about the ones I thought about a minute before. Do put up your thoughts about it when you are done, would love to read and finally maybe buy the books? haha

Yes I am! Let’s connect there!
Trust me, Outlander is such an exhausting read. I started reading it when the show began and I am still on the 3rd book. I keep getting distracted by other books too 🙂 But I am so invested in the series that I am definitely going to read the whole damn thing!

Yes, indeed! I enjoy fantasy quite a bit and lately there have been so many good works in the genre, I feel like there isn’t enough time to read all the good ones! I hope I can write a fantasy novel someday!
No, I haven’t read any of his books! Is there one you particularly recommend?

I’d start with the books about the Night Watch so Guards! Guards! first.
Don’t start with The Colour of Magic even though it’s the first one written.
There are also books about the Wizards, Witches and Death as well as a few stand alone ones.
It’s best to read the books about each sub-series in order so the one that follows on from Guards! Guards! is Men at Arms.
I’ve found a chart that shows the connections between various character arcs: http://io9.gizmodo.com/how-to-read-terry-pratchetts-discworld-series-in-one-h-1567312812
Hope this helps and enjoy!
