oh my poor emotions Nadine!

I'm hooked, now to find time to actually read this amongst looking after a baby!

I looked down at the board. “The point isn’t to win?” I asked. “The point,” Bredon said grandly, “is to play a beautiful game.” He lifted his hands and shrugged, his face breaking into a beatific smile. “Why would I want to win anything other than a beautiful game?”

He could sneak, sneakier!

Such a charming sweet story!

“Yes, yes. Aim for the sun. That way if you miss, at least your arrow will fall far away, and the person it kills will likely be someone you don't know.”

"a primal part of him panicked every time down stopped being down. He ran at the wall and jumped throwing his feet to the side, he couldn't hesitate, couldn't be afraid, couldn't flinch"

God calls me. In a deeper sense than any other species of earthbound creature, I am called. And in a deeper sense I am free, for I can ignore the call.

Over the past few days, Amos McElhenny had stared death in the face so many times that he hardly blinked anymore. What harm could once more do?

What in the world was happening I forget!

Luthien was locked in a tree house and had to weave her hair into a rope then let it down to escape and find her prince.

This is a strange but moving book, I have no idea where it is going.

Simple fun story, the characters feel a bit younger than they apparently are.

Boring beginning but synopsis is cool, so we'll see.

“Does he always try to solve problems by making bigger ones?"
Orden nodded sagely, "That would sum up Corin's problem solving methodology quite appropriately”

I like this main character so much he think just like I do, got to be an INTJ, he's just awesome, I had like no expectations for this book, but I have now laughed so much it's brilliant.

I thought this book would be more interesting, not sure if it is worth finishing.

"It didn't matter how pretty something was, it would kill you just as dead."

As far as Father Christmas goes this is my favourite, and such an adorable idea.

Raise your eyebrows and say "Oh, how do you know?" Critics rarely are prepared to defend their own faith. They have seldom thought through what they believe and have relied more on generalizations and slogans than on careful reflection.

How did you come to that conclusion? " Make them give you reasons not just a point of view"

"What do you mean by that?" is a great starting question

"Never make a statement when a question will do the job"

Ask questions, or ask for clarification of what they mean by their statement/question.

Just try to put a stone in a person shoe not full out convert them... makes sense and is not as scary! Make them think... now I like that.

Without god's work, nothing else works; but with god's work, many things work.
