I've never read this series.......I don't think one particular book gave me the desire to want to be an author, I just remember always being an avid reader! And wanna be writer. I did like the All that Glitters series that was aimed at teen's though.
I was over the moon when I finally got a typewrite for my birthday one year. ( No computers then at the time :)
I started writing a novel years ago but never got around to finishing it....went Nursing instead. I have since (20 yrs later) started again, 12 chapters in.

I'm pleased 10 yr old @kaelci was able to immerse herself in books, I find them a great escape, although since kiddies, the 'to read' pile is slowly growing lol

Oh yes, the growing pile of books to read is forever growing here too! I'm not sure how people find time to do anything; sit down and watch netflix for a measly hour included. I can't do that. Haha. I get an hour to myself a day, and that is spent writing a couple of things here before relaxing in the shower before going to sleep. Maybe if I gave up an extra hour of sleep... but I love it too much.

My other hour of silence is right now, but this one doesn't count - I'm uncaffeinated and half asleep, and prone to rambling. ;)

I highly recommend this series to add to your own growing pile! Well, the first book of it anyway... I can't speak for the other two just yet. What's your novel about? :) Fantasy? Sci-Fi? Romance!? :D I love hearing about writers writing things that have settled in their mind for years... it's a story that wants to be told.

I adore old bookstores. There’s something about those spaces. I have spent ages and ages in them.

I’ve not heard of that series. But, I know the lure of series fiction. I collect several, among them: Terry Pratchett’s Discworld,Lois McMaster Bujold’s adventures of Miles Vorkosigan, Robert Aspirin’s Myth series, Douglas Adams Hitchhikkers of the Galaxy series and Dirk Gently series, anything by Georgette Heyer, and more.

I enjoyed your essay very much.

These were found in an op-shop :) I find so many diamonds in op shops! There's this book - The Secret Life of Lazslo, Count Dracula written by Roderick Anscombe - I originally found that in an op shop and it's been one of my favourites ever since. (And another I would recommend to anybody!) Another favourite series is Raymond E. Feist's Riftwar Saga, though I really struggled through the very first chapter of Magician - it's the first chapter of the first book, and I'm glad I forced myself through it. My largest collection was of Stephen King, but I need to reacquire those.

Thanks for reading the giant wall of babbles! :D
