Today‘s challenge was so fun! It reminded me of a book I used to read every Christmas when I was younger. I‘ll definitely carve out some time to read it this weekend. #decktheshelves #christmasmemories

Can I make a confession? This is the first L'Engle I've ever read 😳 I know, I know. How have I never read A Wrinkle in Time?! Aside from that, this was a delightful and festive short story with adorable illustrations. The Austins seem like a lovely literary family that I would enjoy reading more about! Glad I read this one at Christmas🎄

Texreader Sounds like it's time to read Wrinkle in Time. Such a good book. 8y
