Faith
John Love@marianlthorpe #FriSalon Q1 Absolutely! Love CS Lewis. π Christian autobiographies are quite popular too, eg I have one about the life of children's author Patricia St John (she wrote Treasures of the Snow if you might have heard of that) & how faith influenced her writing.

The Hunger Games
Suzanne Collins@TFiredrake @LonsdaleRik #FriSalon Q3 Interesting! It's fascinating how different combinations can spark ideas. I remember hearing a story that's how Suzanne Collins got the idea for The Hunger Games, because she switched channels between a children's programme & a war documentary, or something.
