im kinda comfuesed on the sorty just a little,

im not sure what the circle was about, or why valentine was evil?

can you help me out?

overall the book was amazing i loved it!

[lindsaylou04]

@hAppybuNnyboo1 You know it's really been way to long since I've read this book. I can tell you that they do explain this more as the books go on. I think it's the third book that really goes into detail about the past.

It's like you're in my head. My thoughts mirrored yours perfectly. But I do have one question: can females be referred to as warlocks?

[lindsaylou04]

@wickedlyunique I'm not sure, it all depends on the author's interpretation of the word. She never introduces any female magic users into the story, so I can't be sure. However, most often when ppl use the word warlock as she does, they are often just using it to refer to a male magic user. Now she does have another series coming out about warlocks and perhaps she will have a female in that one.

I'm so glad that my thoughts mirrored yours :D I love it when ppl can relate to what I say.

@NephilimLake I am not familiar with that. I just looked it up to kinda see what it is about and it seems to have potential. Do you recommend it? I am currently reading The Demon King which was recommended by a subscriber and that is good so far-- can't wait to make a review for it! Maybe I'll read the Adhorsen series next, if you think I'll like it.

[lindsaylou04]

That's great! It's a fun book.

I think the talk show idea is doable. You could make one person the host and interview each other on what you think of the language and style. You can even take it a step further by saying that the person being interviewed is a literary expert or best selling author of (insert fake book name here). Maybe you could make a joke out of it by going Jerry Springer style and having the two experts take swings at each other over their different view points. Just some thoughts....

lol When I read your comment about my "other" personality, I had no idea what you were talking about and had to rewatch it. I had completely forgotten that I had done that lol. I'm such a dork! ;)

Thanks for watching!!!!!!

Tomorrow at school me and a three other people need to do an "original" book discussion about A million little pieces by James Frey for our class. We need to discuss language and style etc. and not so much characters so our idea was to do like a talkshow but it is very difficult to talk about style then.. So what should we do now, does anyone have an idea for us?
