@RaefWrites@PGRpoetry@scriptstuff Hey Raef!
Apologies for the late answer - but unfortunately, it looks like no-one from our team will be able to make it. Thanks for informing us about it though!

Today's book recommendation is from an author I recently recommended and whose books have changed my view on writing: 'Elantris' by @BrandSanderson. The story about reviving long lost magic, war, and navigating a king's court quickly turned into a huge pageturner for me!
-Steffi
It's a new Sunday, with another author's recommendation! I've read @IsabelAbedi's books ('Isola', 'imago', 'lucien',...) many years ago, but the young characters, living in a world that's not entirely reality but also not fantasy/supernatural, still stick with me.

@Seabear211 Heya Shannon! We are looking to start recruiting for Volume 13 in the near future - please e-mail [email protected] to register your interest. We'd be very excited to have you on our team!

With some delay, I may recommend you one of my most favorite authors: @BrandSanderson. Not only are his books of extraordinary quality, he also gives classes on YouTube about writing science fiction and fantasy - it's a yes from me!
-Steffi
Another book I highly recommend is Scythe by Neal Shusterman! Itโs set in a far dystopian future, where death by natural causes has been eliminated from humanity thanks to tech advances, and an advanced computer system called โthe thunderheadโ rules society.

A new day another quote! Todayโs quote comes from the story โScytheโ by Neal Shusterman, a book I will be talking about next week!
โHuman nature is both predictable and mysterious; prone to great and sudden advances, yet still mired in despicable self-interest.โ
-Adam
Today's favorite author:
@naominovik, especially her standalone novels 'Spinning Silver' and 'Uprooted' as well as the Temeraire series. I adore her style of writing, and I can't recommend her books enough.
-Steffi
Todayโs quote comes from the same book I suggested the other day!
โLibraries were full of ideas - perhaps the most dangerous and powerful of all weapons.โ
This comes from the main character commenting on how knowledge can be a greater weapon than steel.
-Adam
Itโs time for a weekly book review! This weekโs book is one of my all time favourite fantasy novels: โThrone of Glassโ by Sarah J. Maas.
Itโs about a young female master assassin who's trying to win a competition for her freedom, while also searching for her destiny.
