So... I one hundred and ten percent forgot POTW was a thing I did until yesterday at 11:30. School kinda hit me over the head this semester; I'm still trying to get it together. I do apologize.

The Last Jedi: a Review by Skye. I haven’t seen the movie, but I really liked her review. Beware spoilers, but it’s a fun, fangirling read!

Thoughtful About... Who We Get to Be by Mrs. Roseanna White. A beautiful reminder: as Christians, we get to represent Christ’s light to this dark world. That matters more than anything else.

Giving a Book/Author a Second Chance by Shar. A really intersting and thoughtful post; I’m not sure I’ve ever given a book I didn’t like a second chance, but I liked her analysis of this.

Writing Characters 101: Emotional Plausibliity---Ethnicity and Culture by Intuitive Writing Guide. 100% on point! Simple but very helpful tips.

What Are the Best Types of Settings in YA Books to Bless Our Existence With? by Cait. Because I only just read it and IT’S SO MUCH FUN. Also, the quiz. I received a very unexpected answer (Carnivals and Festivals; unexpected because I almost never read about them). But it had a Greatest Showman gif, so I was pleased.

So, have you seen the Last Jedi? Ever given a book/author a second chance or written about a character from a different culture than your own? Can’t wait to hear from you, and I’ll see you in the comment section!
