I've actually seen the film adaptation of Before the Coffee Gets Cold. It was so wonderful and wholesome! I've had the book on my list for a while. I should give it a read...
I read with avid interest your comment on the rise of pulp fantasy, though I do not understand your dismay. Pennydreadfuls are always with us. Thankfully they disappear as fast as a screeching mouse across the parlour floor.
However, I am surprised to find you did not include some of the best fantasy literature before Tolkien, and perhaps inspired him. Beowulf and Nibelungenlied came to mind. Nor did you include in your book list Edgar Allan Poe, which I find puzzling. You also left out H G Wells and Jules Verne, who were sort of "out of fashion", but J K Rowling? Surely the last cannot be classified as junk?
I leave before I get pompous and boring, but if you are in the mood of communicating, I hope to continue to talk about books with you, someone who profess to love them.

Hi Hilary! I m always excited for anything you say regarding storytelling and writing in general. As for future reviews, that would be very awesome!
If you'd like, here's a small list of stories that I'd like you to review- I love discussing and sharing great stories with others.
Movies:
-Knives Out!
-TRAP by M. Night Shyamalan
Anime:
-Moriarty The Patriot (mystery, historical, crime)
- The Promised Neverland
- Fruits Basket ( the 2019 adaptation)
Books:
-Before The Coffee gets cold
- Defy The Night by Brigid Kemmerer
- The seven deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle
And the list goes on forever, but I believe that these are a solid start.
Anyway, thank you for building this beautiful community of writers. Can't wait to learn from your great insights!
Yours Truly,
Lujyn from Egypt 🤍🌌
Thank you, Lujyn! It's lovely to see you here!

Yeah, you should definitely read it! It's so, so good. But bring a pack of tissues beside you as you read. You'll need it. 🥹🌠🌹🤍🏯🌸
Oh, and thanks for replying to my comment!
Always interested in what you have to say about anything creative thanks Hilary.
Hi, Hillary. You should read the Farseer Trilogy, if you haven't already. You might like it.
