Well, if you made a decorative picture with it, it would count. ;) Kind of like Leah's quote art on the fan art page. http://www.ilyonchronicles.com/fan-ar...

[Amanda]

Okay! That's kinda what I was thinking, actually.

Not the same thing, though.

[Hope]

To respond to earlier comments:

For the Quiz: I got Liam! I think only a few people got him. I was a bit surprised, but I really like Liam, so I don't mind. :D

Gabs: Ranger's Apprentice and the Brotherband Chronicles by John Flanagan are really good. So is The False Prince {I forgot what the series is called, but I've only read the first one. And at my library they categorized it as "Adventure", but I think it's also "Fantasy". Of sorts. XD}

[gabi]

Oh, I absolutely LOVE The False Prince (I think it was called The Ascendance Trilogy). I read all of them and they were amazing. I think the second one was the best. Last summer I read the Ranger's Apprentice. Those were great, too. I haven't read many of the Brotherband Chronicles. I've read two. How many are out?

[gabi]

Hope, love your profile pic by the way. My favorite dwarves are Kili, Bofur, and Thorin. Fili would probably be next in line.

[Hope]

Awesome! There are five books in Brotherband so far. Scorpion Mountain just came out a few months ago.
And thanks! Fili's my favorite. I think he's under appreciated. :(

[Stargazer]

I know: Fili IS super under appreciated! He didn't even get much a death scene. :( Kili's my favorite, but I love Fili too! :D

[Hope]

I KNOW!! His death scene was, I felt, a bit rushed. Like Smaug's. Take out the Alfred scenes and add in more Fili scenes!

[Stargazer]

Totally! I HATE Alfred... Yuk. For a 3 hour movie some stuff WAS rushed. :P I'm hoping for a ton a new stuff in the extended addition!

[Hope]

Me too. I heard that the Durin's funeral is in the Extended Edition, but I'm not sure what else will be in there. Hopefully more Fili scenes. :D

[Jaye]

Fili! <3 I love both Kili and Fili, but Fili is definitely under appreciated.

[gabi]

Foreshadowing Grima Wormtongue in The Lord of the Rings... I'd never thought of it that way. Yeah, that is interesting.

[Stargazer]

@Ysa: I agree Alfred was a good contrast for Bard, but he took up WAY too much screen time. He's like a petty Wormtongue, Wormtongue is a lot eviler then Alfred, but they do have a lot in common. :)

@Hope: The Durin's funeral meaning Thorin's funeral? :D :D Is that real or rumored? I can't believe the idea of a funeral makes me happy. XD But they SO need that! Yes, hopefully more Fili! :)
And the Elven King... We need lots more Elven King..

[Stargazer]

GUYS! I have victory!
My sister has had Resistance one her HUGE to-read bookcase in her room but she never really WANTED to read it. Well last night she was re-organizing her books and she was making a "re-telling" shelf and she held up Resistance and asked me how much of a Robin Hood re-telling it was. So I grabbed my chance and by explaining how awesomely Robin Hoodish Trask is, how much of a dark guy Jace is, and how Kaden looks like Gale she finally thought it sounded cool and put it in her to-read soonish stack!!! Now admittedly that stack is about three miles high and is going to kill someone one of these days . . . but still! I feel victorious! :D

[Amanda]

GOOD WORK! *applauds loudly*

[gabi]

Hey everyone!!!!!! I just created a quiz on Goodreads for Resistance! Try it out please.

[Amanda]

@Gabs Where is it?

[gabi]

Ummm... You'll probably have go on Goodreads on Safari (the Internet app). I don't you can see quizzes from the Goodreads app.

[Amanda]

Okay. Yeah, I'm lazy and almost always use the app. I'll have to go online and check it out!

[gabi]

Thanks. Yeah I jump from the computer, the app, and on my iPad online.

[Tamara]

I just took the quiz. :) I invited you Amanda so you don't have to search for it. ;) Caution though, it's extremely difficult! At least, it was for me. ;)

[gabi]

Yeah, I couldn't really tell if it was too easy, too difficult, or in the middle. I kinda just went through the book and came up with questions. It took me quite a few hours. But yeah, tell me what you think of the quiz!

[Amanda]

Thanks Tamara!!

[H.M.R.]

That quiz I thought was awesome! I feel kinda ashamed I only got sixty some percent.:( butyet I feel pretty good about it since I haven't read it in awhile,

[Tamara]

Oh, you did fine Hannah. I only got 48% soooo...yeah. :( I do have a horrible memory though, and I read it last year.

[Tamara]

Oh, wait, I was worse than that. I got 42%, so only 12 questions right. :(

[Amanda]

I got 64%...I thought I knew the book better than that. Haha. Gabs, I laughed out loud when I read "The Dixon Brothers" XD

[Tamara]

Yeah, same here! I thought I knew my stuff. Apparently not. I have to read it again now!!

[H.M.R.]

I want to read it again to but two of my friends might borrow it. and today should be the day when "Courage" and "Trust" of the Makiliem series:):):)

[H.M.R.]

Makilien not Makiliem:|

[Claire]

Awesome quiz!! I only missed 4, and I even guessed on a couple. Oh, well, guess that means I should go read the book again. :P

[Firefly]

I got %53... I was really shocked that I had totally forgotten a ton of things... *hangs head* I am ashamed.

[gabi]

Thanks Ms. Claire!!

[Katie]

Ouch. Only 19/28 correct? I thought I would've gotten a LOT more. Time for a reread. xD

[Jaye]

I got 24/28 . . . O_o Perhaps I need to reread it. xD

By the way, great job on the quiz, Gabs!! :D

Oh, Jaye...xD Hahahaha.

[gabi]

Thanks. Hopefully is wasn't too hard. It's very hard to tell when you're writing the questions. Read your own book! Hahaha. You are funny... :-D

[gabi]

Maybe I should make one for The King's Scrolls......

[Katie]

Haha. xD I was wondering how you'd do on it. :P

[Katie]

o.O Yes, Gabs! You should. *nods*
Actually, if you want to message me over Goodreads I could help you... I have a copy of the book and we could both go through and find some questions. :)

[Morgan]

So I actually got a higher score than Jaye?...I only missed 2. Make one on TKS! That'd be cool.

[Jaye]

Morgan wrote: "So I actually got a higher score than Jaye?...I only missed 2. Make one on TKS! That's be cool."

O_o I really don't know how that happened. :P

[Tamara]

Oh my, haha, that's hilarious! Makes me feel better about my own score though. ;)

[gabi]

Sorry Morgan! I sent the friend request before I had finished. I just wanted to say I'm still being homeschooled, but it is so cool to meet other Christians, that were homeschooled too!

[Stargazer]

Awesome quiz! :D You're a great quiz maker Gabs! I only got 16 right. :P Though it should have been 17... You got one wrong. I don't think there's a way to edit quizzes and that's fine I just want to point it out:

"""What did Sir Richard Blaine almost take from Kaden when Kryin didn't give herself up in time?
his nose
one of his fingers***"right answer"
one of his eyes « your answer
one of his ears """"

This was the only question I KNEW with absolute certainly when I clicked my answer, because that was the part where I almost threw the book across the room and stamped on it. XD

(Unless you're talking about a different part and I'm just making a fool of myself. :P)

Jaye wrote: "I got 24/28 . . . O_o Perhaps I need to reread it. xD"

I made a very loud snort/giggle when I saw that. Wow. XD

[Morgan]

He almost took Kaden's finger right before Kyrin showed up. He almost took his eye when Kyrin was watching. We read Resistance as a family, and read that part recently.

[gabi]

I can edit the quiz, but I put "one of his fingers" as the right answer (I just checked it out). Maybe you accidentally clicked the wrong answer or that wasn't one of the questions you missed???

[Katie]

Yeah, what Morgan says. Both almost happen to him, but when Kyrin wasn't there in time he threatened to send her his finger, not his eye. (Though I think either would be equally bad. :p)

[Stargazer]

Morgan wrote: "He almost took Kaden's finger right before Kyrin showed up. He almost took his eye when Kyrin was watching. We read Resistance as a family, and read that part recently."

Oh okay, that was it! The eye part was much more memorable because like I said I got really mad. :P

So sorry about that! It's fine Gabs, I was just thinking of another part. :)
