the one who made this forum

I thought I'd write a new introduction for myself, as the old one is not exactly up to date anymore.

My name is Chiara, I live near the blueberries and I am an aspiring author and wish-to-be illustrator.

I love animals and nature, and I love being inspired and creative.

I love books and art and music and all kinds of beautiful things. I am very fond of nice food and drinks, given it's vegan and of a nice quality ^_^


I am a huge Narnia and a bit LotR fan, and that's how I discovered CotIG in 2013 (shortly before the last book came out) - a book about young Lewis and Tolkien (and Williams, who I grew to love the most in the books!) in a fantasy seting was my idea of perfect! But it was much more than that. There are few books I have read that are equally fascinating. The combination of an exciting plot and so many references, connections and theories is simply incredible and completely unique among fantasy (or all) literature. Whenever I re-read a book or a passage, I discover and understand something new, which I haven't noticed before. These books are always exciting!

I wish James A. Owen (who is my idol) would write a book that actually shows more of the Archipelago. Like a spin-off anthology with stories several islands. That would be beautiful!
