Connor Kinkade (connork) | 1324 comments I'm Connor, I'm 16 and live in Wyoming. I like Classic books for the most part. I also like fantasy and sci-fi (if it's good), and maybe a little newer contemporary stuff.

J.p. Carol | 2 comments Hi all! My name is J.P.Carol and I'm loving this type of venue to talk about Fantasy/Magic and everything else that goes along with the subject matter. After reading all of the messages by the other members I can see I'll find a whole host of other books to read and hopefully some input for my own writings.
Just a note, I am a new author and I'm trying to keep my eyes and ears open to what people are reading and what they would like to read. I've have written a book entitled 'All Hallows' Eve (on amazon.com) and have found that the interest has been pretty exciting. I would like to give a brief summary about the book, and if this is not the place for this, I apologize. Please let me know if I am stepping out of the guidelines for this site.
Summary: In the small town of Hampton on the eastern seaboard, two young boys discover that a supernatural entity w/ a real 'bad' attitude is trying to cross over into our world on the eve of Halloween. Thomas and Jesse, w/ the help of some of their friends try and stop this entity by using modern technology, but they also get a little help from an unlikely source. Our government. Not only have they known what was about to happen in this small town, but they would do whatever they can to keep others from finding out until they can 'contain' the situation. The residents of the town are drawn into a century old feud between ancient Warriors and super Witches from another dimension and this entity they've been hunting.
The characters find themselves struggling with the fact that 'real' magic does exist, and there's a battle about to be fought right in their town.
The book takes the reader on a fantastic journey to other dimensions with Warriors (both young and old) who aren't too bad on the eyes, and causes interesting situations when young 'human'male and females, meet young Warriors. The reader gets a glimise into their culture and lifestyle, while the teens try to train with the Warriors to learn how to fight and to keep their world from falling. All Hallows' Eve introduces the reader to huge flying 'Birds of Prey' and the sexy and loveable Warriors that fly them. And throughout the book are clues to the exciting conclusion. It will take you on one of the most fantastic Fantasy/Magical rides ever! A great read!

It sounds pretty good. I'll have to read it sometime.


message 11: by Connor (new)

Connor Kinkade (connork) | 1324 comments Same here! That's probably about the line we are reading I think.


message 12: by Nicole (new)

Nicole Kathryn That sounds very interesting!


message 13: by Connor (new)

Connor Kinkade (connork) | 1324 comments I added your book to the to-read shelf.


message 14: by [deleted user] (last edited Mar 16, 2011 10:12AM) (new)

Hi people. i go by Valkyrie and i'm 13. i guess i'll read anything that has a good plot, but it has to be appropriate. i can't even get myself to read Mockingjay. the end. AND I LIKE LORD OF THE RINGS!!! I'm almost done with "The Return of the King", in the second to last chapter: the scouring of the shire.


message 15: by [deleted user] (new)

Hello! I saw the movies before reading the books, so I was really surprised at that chapter. At first, I thought the Sackville-Bagginses did all that.

Welcome! I am a huge LOTR junkie. I am reading the books for my fourth time. You are in one of the best parts in the book in my opinion. Please enjoy yourself, comment often. We appreciate a lot of comments. Thanks for joining. :D


message 17: by [deleted user] (new)

message 18: by Connor (new)

Connor Kinkade (connork) | 1324 comments Yep!


message 19: by [deleted user] (new)

message 20: by [deleted user] (new)

message 21: by Connor (new)

Connor Kinkade (connork) | 1324 comments Advertise them. I don't know how though :(


message 22: by [deleted user] (new)

You can send invite messages to all your friends.


message 23: by [deleted user] (new)

Yeah. I made a just for fun totally pointless group called AWESOME GROUP!!! and there is only Connor, me and a girl named Hannah. I think. We just talk.


message 24: by Connor (new)

Connor Kinkade (connork) | 1324 comments I think she already did that, but I'm not sure. I sent some to my friends!


message 25: by Kayla (new)

Kayla Duff Hey! I'm Kayla (though my friends, online and otherwise, call me Yums) and I am almost (emphasis on almost) fourteen years old. I absolutely loooooooooooooove science fiction, both in books and television/movies. My favorite tv shows are all on Syfy in the US (no way!): V (that's on ABC... okay, so most of them.) Stargate, Stargate Atlantis, Stargate Universe (getting a little repetitive, are we?) and Firefly, and Eureka.
For books, I enjoyed Ender's Game, IRobot (And other Isaac Asimov stories) 2001 and 2010, as well as more young adult books like the Everlost trilogy and the Hunger Games, The Maze Runner, and Anne McCaffrey (I don't know if that's spelled right) books like Dragonsong.

message 39: by J.p. (last edited Mar 15, 2011 03:32PM) (new)

J.p. Carol | 2 comments Hi everyone! I absolutely love, love, love LOR. After watching the first one, I didn't want it to end. It was the same way that I felt about Harry Potter. I know that's what's inspired me to write my book, All Hallows' Eve. These movies and books kinda sparked the creative side in me. Because I didn't want them to end, I set about to create a Fantasy full of it's own magic and adventure that I can make go on and on if I want.

Hola!


message 41: by [deleted user] (new)

My name is Logan. I am a voracious reader. I don't really care for Fantasy or Science Fiction as genres, precisely for the reason that I think they are largely commercial, washed-up knock-off's of the greats. My favourite novel is Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, and I am a huge fan of all his books. I study lots of languages, read many books, am interested in Religion and literary criticism, and have invented a language of my own.


message 42: by [deleted user] (new)

can you teach it to me? Hi!


message 43: by [deleted user] (new)

what's that mean?


message 44: by Connor (new)

Connor Kinkade (connork) | 1324 comments Welcome everyone! Very glad you joined. Please have fun in this group cause it's AWESOME!


message 45: by Nicole (new)

message 46: by Nicole (new)

Nicole Kathryn It's "hello" or "good afternoon" in Japanese. Lol!


message 47: by Connor (new)

Connor Kinkade (connork) | 1324 comments hmm. I don't speak Japanese. I'm sorry.


message 48: by Nicole (new)

Nicole Kathryn Yup, that happens a lot. I recently learned that a lot is two words. Who knew?


message 49: by Connor (new)

Connor Kinkade (connork) | 1324 comments You didn't know?! I'm sorry, but that's kind of sad.

I've read the original prose Beowulf. I understood half of it, which is pretty great.
