Anna Todd’s After Series as well as Stephenie Meyer’s twilight Saga inspired me the most!Īt the end of the day, I wanted to create a book where the characters never strayed from each other. Not cliche at all! I was inspired by many authors and stories, and I’ve always had ideas in my head but I never knew what to do with them before WattPad. This question might sound cliche, what really inspired you to write the Emden series? I took a quick interview of her and decided to share it with you guys.ġ.

Michael B Jordan practically lives in the Leaf Village. So yeah, Megan’s not the first weeb to livetweet their feelings about Attack on Titan’s Mikasa or proclaim that Ban from Seven Deadly Sins is her husband, and honestly, she’s not the only celebrity to reveal that they are in the know when it comes to anime. Even if that weren’t the case, Megan’s got a well-documented passion for anime, so why not show her love?

With LET’S EXPLORE DIABETES WITH OWLS, David Sedaris shows once again why he is widely considered the “the funniest writer in America” ( O, the Oprah Magazine). The common thread? Sedaris masterfully turns each essay into a love story: how it feels to be in a relationship where one loves and is loved over many years, what it means to be part of a family, and how it’s possible, through all of life’s absurdities, to grow to love oneself. Sedaris remembers his father’s dinnertime attire (shirtsleeves and underpants), his first colonoscopy (remarkably pleasant), and the time he considered buying the skeleton of a murdered Pygmy. When the guy is David Sedaris, the possibilities are endless, but the result is always the same: he will both delight you with twists of humor and intelligence and leave you deeply moved. “Sedaris is a remarkably skilled storyteller and savvy essayist….And based, on this latest collection, he’s getting only better.” -Los Angeles Timesįrom here the story could take many turns. |
