A Court of Thorns and Roses, Sarah Maas
For Critique Challenge
There is no better way to spend a day than with a Sarah Maas book. I could just live in the world she has created. No fantasy info-dumping, or paragraph long descriptions. Only magic, and color, and wonder, with a good dash of humor throughout. I recommend it to everyone.

The Midnight Society
When I was just thirteen years old, I had the idea for this story. It was full of corruption, espionage, world politics, and maybe just slightly too ambitious for a kid. But I loved writing it. The research for how political power works, types of governments and their function, cold wars and espionage was endlessly fascinating. Crafting plot twist after plot twist, betrayal after betrayal, characters so real I could almost see them sitting before me was what gave me my kick start into writing. It got complicated, and twisted, and I was horrible at keeping up with notes, so I lost the trail of the plot and the enthusiasm to continue it.

When We Were Very Young
In another box set that my parents got me when I was younger contained four books by A.A. Milne. 'When We Were Very Young' is a collection of poems that Milne wrote for his son Christopher Robin. This is a book that is full of references to Mr. Edward Bear, but a lot of the poems give some various descriptions of life of a very young child and where, when, how and why they do what they do. The illustrations are quite cute for you can see what Christopher Robin is and may be thinking. Also, Pooh Bear does make his self-known at various points. I have read these verses many, many times over the years and each time make me feel good about myself.

Unfinished Tales of Numenor and Middle-Earth
Here is another book written and created by J.R.R. Tolkien and edited by his son Christopher Tolkien. This is a collection of chapters mainly from 'The Silmarillion' with various other notes for the stories that his son added and finished the book. This was a book that read along with reading 'The Silmarillion'. 'Unfinished Tales' was an interesting read in its' own right though.

I tried to read them, but I couldn't get into the spice. Just not my thing! I know they're so well-loved though. Great entry into the challenge :)
