SorinaM Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Hey there, my name is Sorina and I'm from Romania, I'm 21 . I don't have too much to say about me; I'm a book person, I started reading literature somehow late (when I was about 13-14 years old I read the first book I enjoyed and I couldn't stop since then), I enjoy drawing (traditional and digital), writing, I also have a blog (3 years so far, my longest relationship). Favorite writer : definitely Stephen King. Also, I recently discovered Carlos Ruiz Zafon and it's becoming an obsession. I enjoyed as well John Saul's books, I've read everything Dan Brown wrote and I liked it. Favorite books: I have to go with The Dark Tower series, even if I only read the first four books so far, I love it. Also, Miss Peregrine, The Shadow of the wind, Blaze, Dolores Claiborne, Cell and so on. About other things - I consider myself a calm being; even if I write a lot with the voice of depression I'm usually cheerful with the ones around me. This being said, I'm glad to join you in the hopes of becoming a better person and a true reader. Feel free to ask questions, I will answer as soon as I can ! Quote
woolf woolf Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Welcome to the forum, SorinaM. Do you show your drawings somewhere (like DeviantArt e.g.)? Quote
frankie Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Hello Sorina and welcome to the forum! Is that your real name, Sorina? I think it's beautiful! Quote
SorinaM Posted September 24, 2015 Author Posted September 24, 2015 Welcome to the forum, SorinaM. Do you show your drawings somewhere (like DeviantArt e.g.)? Yes, I have a blog where I post pretty much everytime I draw something new ( http://chosenvoice.wordpress.com ) Hello Sorina and welcome to the forum! Is that your real name, Sorina? I think it's beautiful! Yes actually, it is my real name and thank you. It's a pretty common romanian name Quote
Athena Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Welcome here ! Sorina is a beautiful name. I own a couple of the Dark Towers books but not all of them so I haven't yet started it because I'm not sure if starting with book 4 is a good idea . I do like Stephen King though. My favourite of his so far is IT. I like your blog. I hope you have a nice time here. It's always nice to meet another reader . Quote
SorinaM Posted September 25, 2015 Author Posted September 25, 2015 Thank you so much ! Well, starting with the fourth book wouldn't be that much of a mistake, but it's still better to start with the first one, to have thw context and get used to the universe. Quote
More reading time required Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Welcome Sorina I love Dark Tower too. Whilst I would consider book 4 to be the peak of the series, it's definitely worth finishing off the series as there's some good stuff to come. I may have to re-read it myself actually as I've only read the final 3 books once so far. You might say it's his seminal work as so many of his other books contain references to dark tower events/characters. Google for dark tower connections. Quote
SorinaM Posted September 25, 2015 Author Posted September 25, 2015 Hei and thank you! I know about the connections, I keep hunting them since I started reading The Dark Tower. Sadly, I found about them myself and I was quite shocked when I encountered it in Doctor Sleep, googled about that and found out it's actually a thing he does; since then I'm hunting. I just started the fifth book so I can't give you an opinion just yet, but I think the fourth one was mindblowing. Quote
bobblybear Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Hi Sorina. Welcome to the forum. I'm a big Stephen King fan too. Have you read The Stand? It's my favourite book by him, and probably my favourite book of all time. Quote
Madeleine Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 HI Sorina (lovely name). I also loved Shadow of the Wind, I've read a couple of stand-alone Stephen King books but none of his series. Quote
SorinaM Posted October 14, 2015 Author Posted October 14, 2015 You should give it a try, at least The Dark Tower. It's pretty mindblowing. Also,thank you! Quote
Peacefield Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 Belated hello and welcome to BCF, SorinaM, glad you joined us! One of my top 10 reads of all-time is The Shining so I'm also a fan of King. I read him non-stop in high school (much longer ago than I care to admit) and then took a couple decades' pause until a couple of years ago. Since then I've read Under the Dome, Full Dark, No Stars and Dr. Sleep. Most of which I enjoyed and it was nice to get back into his style of writing again . Quote
