Perfect!

Nice! How's the challenge going?

Ashley wrote: "A Man Called Ove! Has a man on the cover and in the title!"

That's actually on my TBR :)

Well, I read my book this month (plus another) and I really loved it! The Yellow Wall-Paper gets definite recommendations!

Ashley wrote: "*Facepalm* I completely forgot about the challenge. The only thing I've read this month is Harry Potter and Infernal Devices lol"

Ah! Well I'm pretty sure TID deals with depression at some points, so you could totally count that ;)

Yeah, I feel like 'Fairytale Pirates' might make it seem like there are actual pirates in it, when the point is that the pirates come from fairytales. I like 'So the Galaxy Hangs' because it also sort of seems like there is a kind of heavy weight over it, which there is.

Hmm I don't think so. There are definitely some poetic parts about the galaxy and some important commentaries on life, paired with some more heavy romance and friendship and family, a lot of travel. Really I wanted to get through the fascination with space, something with planets, the importance of the clothing (in terms of fitting in, the society and some of the character's interests) and maybe even the genealogical aspect of the cultural mix-up which is so important to me.

Also, yes, Poppy is definitely sanguine and cute!

Well all my worlds are made from a mixture, so there are definitely english, scottish, portuguese, korean, japanese, russian, indian and swedish influences confirmed so far and probably more to come!

Hmm, I let you know what titles I come up with, I have a couple in the back of my mind.

Excellent! :D How far are you along..."

Of course! At the moment it is entitled 'WIPP' as in 'Work In Progress Praedon'
Praedon means pirate in latin but is one of the places in the book so that is why its called that. Basically: no title yet.

I have four main characters with POVs though:
Poppy, Evander, Norna and Jun

Then there is:
Mélissa, Isabella, Sumedha, Alex, William, Allyn, Khaled

and others as well

38,000 words but it might have to be split up into more than one book because I currently have it planned up to 141 chapters and it's not even halfway done at that point!

A lot of fancy names there

Probably not the time to mention that I haven't ever seen batman...

I love fantasy; I am so glad you're getting into it!

I just did the exact same thing! Even though your comment literally reminded me that there is no like button, I still automatically went to click on the non-existent like button!

Yeah, Blankets is long but supposedly really good. I wish graphic novels weren't so expensive!

I get the feeling Night Film should go on my to-buy list :D

I haven't read Night Film, but Illuminae is definitely a good one.
