Day 5 Your Characters favorite book

Exploring New Worlds Blog Challenge Day 5 Find your main character's favorite book! You can join this blog challenge too, whether you are a writer OR a reader! Just pick a favorite book off of your shelf (or a story you are currently writing) and click on the image below for info on how to join in on the fun!




 My WIP is currently titled "The Sequel To The Alien Mind"- yes I know it needs a new title!


The Alien Mind is the first book in what is looking like what will end up being a ?four? book series (not sure yet- not finished). You can find out more about The Alien Mind here:
 https://www.virginialorijennings.com/p/the-alien-mind.html

And so here it is... Rivi's Favorite Book:

A Wrinkle in Time: 50th Anniversary Commemorative Edition (A Wrinkle in Time Quintet Book 1) by [L'Engle, Madeleine]

Rivi loves A Wrinkle In Time - she loves how Meg was able to rescue her brother from the It with just the power of her love for him.

Rivi: "Would love help rescue my bonded's mind from the Aruk entanglement?"
Me: It's a bit more complicated than that Rivi, but don't lose hope.

Daniel's favorite book:

The Maze Runner (The Maze Runner, Book 1) by [Dashner, James]

He enjoyed reading how the kids managed to outsmart the maze intended on keeping the kids in so they could be watched as experiments. He can't wait to see if they finally find the cure and put a stop to the people who were experimenting on them.


The Aruk's favorite book series is Hunger Games... because they love thinking about new ways to torture/ challenge their abductees. I'm currently sitting here eyeballing them, trying to figure out just how my main characters will manage to get rid of them ugh!

The Antagonists in this series are a separatist faction of the Aunantet's who call themselves the Aruk.

And so here it is... The Aruk's Favorite Song:



The Aunantet are a peaceful species and largely keep to themselves unless someone asks for their help. The Aruk separatists are convinced that their abilities make them superior to other species and it is their responsibility to rule over everyone.

If you are intrigued... You can check out my playlist on youtube called: "Antagonist Inspiration" which is JUST for those songs that inspire some aspect of my Antagonists in my WIP in some way shape or form.
