I have so many favorites! I really like "A Tale of Two Cities", "The Boy Colonel: A Soldier without a Name", "The Pilgrims Progress", "The Holy War", "Through Gates of Splendor", "In the Shadow of the Almighty", and "The Triumph of John and Betty Stam". Those are just a few of my favorites. Oh, and I also really like the Chuck Black books: "The Kingdom Series" and "Knights of Arrethtrae". What are some of your favorite books?
Hannah W. (Adelaide)
I have so many favorites too! I like "In the Reign of Terror", "One of the 28th", "To Have and to Hold", "Through Russian Snows", "American Rebirth", and of course the Bible. :)
If I was allowed to I would read all day! :) Have you read any of those? Or have you read any books by G. A. Henty? Those are really, really good. What are your favorite type of books?

Hi Hannah!
I'm a book worm as well, but unfortunately I don't get a lot of time for book-wormy things. :( What are you reading right now? I'm reading an excellent commentary/preaching guide, by R. Alan Culpepper.
What is your favorite genre of books? Mine is historical fiction. :)
Are you participating in the Bible Bee?
biblebee
I really like G.A Henty books…especially "In The Reign of Terror"! My favorite genre is historical giction. I also really like missionarey biographies.
Hannah W. (Adelaide)
Right now I am reading "Through Russian Snows"….. again….. :) . Historical fiction is my favorite type of books too! G. A. Henty books are historical fiction and are really good.
And yes, I am participating in the BB. And am really excited about this year. I am guessing you are participating too???
2 Corinthians 5:17
Yes she is :D
Hannah W. (Adelaide)
Do you add to the story that never ends?? It is really good, Jimmy was showing it to me and It is sooooo suspenseful. He told me you were all planning on having it published. You should! Have all of you thought of a name? All of you are great writers!
Dani(elle)
Welcome to memverse! :)
BTW- I didn't like my atomatic picture either :P that's why I changed it :)
2 Corinthians 5:17
Yes, I add to it once in a while :) Usually, I can't think of what to write because of all the suspense! :D
Hannah W. (Adelaide)
How do you change your pic?
Hannah W. (Adelaide)
I was just reading the story that never ends….you are a great writer! And all the people that are in it!
Hannah W. (Adelaide)
Just a random question….do any of you collect anything? If so what do you collect?
Emily H
You have to make a gravatar account (under Account > Profile, there's a link to the webpage) with the same email you have for your memverse account.
Collect things…do books count? :)
Hannah W. (Adelaide)
Sure books count…. :) Then I guess I have a really large collection :).
Thanks for the information!
Emily H
Yeah, me too:) I also have all 50 state quarters, so I'm not really collecting them anymore, I already collected them!
you're welcome:)
Random Narnian Warrior (Tarva/Abi)
Hey, I collected all 50 state quarters, too! I finished last year.
And yes, welcome, Hannah. I know your brother Jimmy a little.
Emily H
Hey that's really cool! :D Did you see the new state quarters? I don't like them :-/ I don't remember when I finished finding all the state quarters…
Random Narnian Warrior (Tarva/Abi)
You mean the state-park-ish ones with the border around the edge?
Emily H
yeah
Random Narnian Warrior (Tarva/Abi)
Yes, I've seen them. They're okay-ish, but I just finished collecting the other ones and I don't feel like spending another ten years doing it all over again… But my youngest brother is collecting as many of them as he can. How many are there?
Emily H
I don't know…I have few but then decided I didn't like them :P
Emily H
They're okay-ish, but I just finished collecting the other ones and I don't feel like spending another ten years doing it all over again...
Exactly.
Random Narnian Warrior (Tarva/Abi)
I'm not much of a collector anyway. I can never get enough of anything to start a collection except with the quarters.
Emily H
yeah, same here.
@Hannah, we have the whole collection of Lamplighter books, and all the Ballantyne books from Vision Forum. And I have a whole bunch of Henty books on kindle. But we have a LOT of books…
Hannah W. (Adelaide)
Wow that's a lot of books! Do you have any of the Martha Finley books? Or AKA Elsie Books? THose are really good. What Henty books do you have?
I also collect the 50 quarters…….Have them all though…
Emily H
Yes, we have the Elsie books, but I didn't read all of them because I didn't like how Elsie was so perfect!:P Oh my, I have 70 (I think) Henty books on kindle, and I think eight audios and a few of the hard copies. I love Henty books! I've read and/or listened to only like nine though… Have you listened to any of the audios? They're abridged, so I don't like that…but they're nice for long road trips (cough, cough coming home from Nationals:)
2 Corinthians 5:17
Oh, I LOVE the Elsie books! :D
biblebee
Oh, I LOVE the Elsie books! :D
So do I!!!
Hannah W. (Adelaide)
I love the Elsie books too….but it is rather annoying that she is soooooo perfect! It is amazing how many books Henty wrote in his lifetime! It seems he wrote one book a month! I like listing to the audios to…..I don't notice that though….What is your favorite Henty book? Mine is either "In the Reign of Terror" or "One of the 28th" Yeah…. We listened to a bunch coming home from Nationals… :)
Emily H
I know! And they're all sooo good and detailed in so many different time frames! It is amazing. If you have the audios from vision forum, on the back it says something like "gently and thoughtfully abridged"… I read along one time just to see how abridged it was:) they just left out little things, but I'd still rather it wasn't abridged… I LOVE "In the Reign of Terror". Definitely my favorite:) (I can't find the audio, so now I'll have to read it:P:) I also liked "For the Temple", "The Lion of St. Mark" and "Wulf the Saxon"… I haven't read "One of the 28th" yet…
Hannah W. (Adelaide)
Well if you like mysteries it's a good one……..I won't tell you much but they have to find a missing will…It's kinda confusing but it's really good.
Do like mysteries? I LOVE them they are my favorite kind of books!
Emily H
Yes! Mysteries are awesome!!!!
Hannah W. (Adelaide)
What is your favorite mystery book/series?
Emily H
I actually haven't read very many, mainly because I don't really own any or know of any that are good:P So I'd probably have to say the Boxcar Kids series:P But I REALLY like mystery books anyway….lol
Hannah W. (Adelaide)
Boxcar kids? Never heard of that….are they kids that live in boxcars?? hahaha
Emily H
lol, that's like exactly right :P:P
SavedByGrace
Actually, yes! :P The Boxcar Kids do (or at least, they used to) live in a boxcar. I've only read the first one, so I don't know much about the other ones. :)
And if you're looking for good mysteries, I'd recommend the Sherlock Holmes series by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I've read a few (I have all of them on my Kindle now), and they are REALLY good! :)
EDIT–Aw, you beat me to the answer. :P
Emily H
:D I only read the 19 original ones.
Hannah W. (Adelaide)
I love the Sherlock Holmes series! Which is your favorite story?
SavedByGrace
So far, my favorite one has been The Adventure of the Speckled Band. :) But I haven't read too many so far. :) (But of course, I love the ones I have read! :D)
Hannah W. (Adelaide)
I think that's my favorite too! I don't think I have read all of them either………But they all really good…..Which one did you not like?
(very few for me…. :) )
