Welcome back, my fellow creatives! I’ve always been thrilled to see how much my three little Bs love to read, but it makes my heart melt to hear my daughter Blondie say she wants to do a podcast with me to share her favorite books. When I said we could make a little “12 Days of Christmas” style series in December, Blondie whipped through her books and picked twelve for us to study. She even designed our banner with her favorite fantasy creature. x

So here we are! I’m blessed to have such amazing kindred spirits in my life, and I am so very blessed to have a daughter who loves storytelling as much as I do.

On the second day of Blondie’s Books, my daughter gave to me:

Wings of Fire: The Dragonet Prophecy by Tui T. Sutherland

What does a reader experience in those opening pages, and what lessons can a writer take away in studying but a few paragraphs? Let’s find out!

If you do not see the audio player above, you can access the podcast here.

Why did you pick this book, Blondie?

Well, at first I didn’t touch this series. When I did, I stopped at the second book. How wrong I was! As I look back, I can’t believe I did that! It has now become one of my favorites and I hope it can be yours too. You really should read this series!

Stay tuned for more storytellin’ and carol-singin’!

Read on, share on, and write on, my friends!
