Storybook Favorites
It was very easy to find interesting stories!
One story that caught my attention is A Changeling's Journey. This story was interesting because I haven't heard many stories like it. The introduction really enticed me because it is written more like the beginning of an adventure novel, which I used to love to read when I was a kid. As I continued to read, it really felt like one because of all the places the main character travelled! The website flows really well, too, and makes it seem like you're turning the page of a book rather than clicking a link. The sentences and paragraphs were spaced out nicely so it was very easy to read, but still gave enough information to create a clear picture in the reader's mind. I also really enjoyed the ending. I'm considering using this novel like style in my project!
I'm a big cat person, so this story of course had to be one of my favorites. Nine Lives of a Cat is a very interesting take on life, death, and ultimately the constant changes of human history, especially in cultures that view cats as sacred. The introduction does a good job at leaving questions unanswered, ultimately leading the readers to want to read the rest of the story. I loved this story because it follows one cat, but through many lives and stories. I really enjoyed the quotes at the beginning of each page, which represented each life. I want to incorporate quotes into my project as well. The way the author has written these stories really gives the audience a sense of wisdom from this character. I prefer this layout compared to the other two. It has beautiful pictures at the top to visually stimulate the reader, and plenty of space for the text so it is not too crowded, thus making it easy to read. I also really like that the 'lives' are placed at the top right so it makes it easy for the reader to navigate through the story in case they want to go back to a certain one.

Another one of my favorites is Kamaveda, Love Therapist. This story is about the god of love, Kamaveda, and his love therapy practice. There are a few stories about his relationship counseling, such as Rama & Sita, Yudihishthira & Draupadi, and Nala & Damayanti. The author does a really good job in story telling and also adds humor through Kamaveda, which they represented through the picture below. I have never heard of this particular god, however I have heard of other gods of love. I really liked how each couple was very different from each other, it made me want to read more! The design of the site was simple and easy to navigate, which made it easier to focus on the stories.
