As We Read  Birdwing

As I’m reading, I can’t really get into the whole “fantasy” setting or genre. I’ve always said that the minute I hear about a dragon or a castle or some sort of magical hocus-pocus, I put the book down or turned off the movie.

This book, though, seems like to me more like a coming of age story. That’s when you have a person who, for whatever reason, goes from immature to mature, and finally “grows up.”

Online Group Project

Posted by mrlopez on 14 December 2006

In January, we will all make physical, hard-bound books from the rules.

Let’s start!
