For those of you who want to read along with our Book Club, our genre this January will be thriller, and we will be reading We used to Live Here by Marcus Kliewer! I hear this one is pretty twisty and dark, so best of luck to those of you who pick it up! 
          	
          	And happy holidays to those celebrating :)

Those who entered here never returned, ever. At least, not wholly. They came back in bits and pieces. A hand without fingers. A bloodied shred of skin. A shriveled toe. All found on the outskirts of Forest Veil, as if spit out by the wild wood.

I've started a small book club. Is there anyone who would be interested in reading along if I announce the book here? December's pick will be fantasy, and we will soon begin voting on the specific book.

@auroraxreverie You're welcome to read along!

@inkysparrow We are starting our first book in December! We'll do a book a month from there. They will be published books.

Happiness isn't based solely on your surroundings. You can be happy even when you don't get what you want. You can be kind even when you don't get what you want. You can be inclusive even when you don't agree with someone.

          What unhealthy mindsets do your characters hold? How do these ideas cause them to react to the world around them?

@Mariya_Evans  They are, their hubris is through the roof. Their meetcute with cold harsh reality is gonna be rough

Mariya_Evans

@XxFaylinexX Haha. A lot of them sound a bit conceited, lol. I'd be interested to see their dynamic among themselves. It seems like they could be blindsided by the fact that they aren't the strongest beings ever created.

So basically they all believe that they can/have to (singlehandedly) change the world, and that they are completely on their own in this. Their biggest mistake is thinking that they are the only power in play, when so much of what is happening is out of their control. They are, in vain, trying to change the things they can't reach, instead of the things they can. It's all cruel optimism and false hope, and convincing themselves that they are doing the right thing until they believe it despite all the warning signs

          Hapy autumnnn! Does anyone else's personality change with fall? 
          
          Any good books on your tbr that you want to cross off this season? And what songs are you listening to right now?

@drangelon Dude, I HAVE to read Red Rising, I just have so many books right now I'm trying to get through. I'm going to put them on my list for November. I keep hearing so many good things.

@Mariya_Evans Definitely!  I love Fall (although Fall where I live is just a "less hot" summer). I love pumpkin spice and scary movies, and I just made a big batch of soup. I've been rereading Pierce Brown's Red Rising series. I'm trying to refresh my memory before reading book 6. Right now, I'm listening to Kiki Rockwell's new album, but I've been in a dark folky kinda mood all day, so I've also been listening to Eivor, Suldusk, and HELGA.

          Do you know anything about querying? Have you ever queried, and if so, did you learn anything valuable from it? Have you ever written a query letter? 
          
          I've just written my first ever query letter (I'll probably edit 18 times before I even look for agents). If you have any experience in this area, I'd love for someone to critique it.

Mariya_Evans

@drangelon Aww, good for you and best of luck <3 And thank you!

@Mariya_Evans I just finished writing my query letter and synopsis and am going to start looking up agent information and make a list of ones that might be a good fit for me. I hope your series gets picked up. I'd love to have them on my shelves one day ♥️

@drangelon Heyy, sorry. didn't have access to Wat for the past week. That's smart to put the less desirable stuff toward the end, because obviously you do have to include word count. Let me know how it goes when you do finish writing and start querying. I'd love to keep in touch with you, especially since I'm headed down the same road. 
            
            And your book is amazing AND unique. It's hard not to compare but I honestly think you have a wonderful novel that has a chance in the publishing world :)

          Can you remember back to the first ideas you had for book? If so, how have those ideas evolved into what they are today?

@Olivia_Benedetti Stories with lots of brothers are fun lol

@drangelon Ooh, I like this. 
            
            On a random note, I sometimes question if Anne and Calden have a great betrayal in their future, possibly coming from one of the two.

          If your character(s) were any animal, what would they be and why?

Mariya_Evans

@drangelon Gahh, you know I love your characters (of course Anne is a doe <3). I wouldn't have said some of the others, but now that you do, it makes perfect sense loool. I wish I could read your book again for the first time.
