Another one for my ASTP collection. This copy was previously a library book in what looks like a Catholic school. It even still has the old style card check out pocket in the back with names on the inserted card. Thanks ebay!

I might have decided to buy multiple versions of a favorite book of mine. This is the one I read as a teen. Ebay is dangerous is all I'm saying.
pick3.5🌟 What an odd, fascinating book this is. In some ways, I actually enjoyed it a bit more than the first two, but the pacing overall drug just a bit in a few spots. I did find the concept of all things that have happened and will happen having an effect on the present to be interesting and well done in this tale. ⬇️
so-soUhh, Meg and Charles travel through time to save the world. Very convoluted story.
“Stories are like children. They grow in their own way”. This quote was very interesting to me because it‘s true. Every child is different just like every story. If I read this to a class, I would probably stop here and pause and ask the students what they thought of this quote.
I don‘t know if I would ever read this book to a class. If I did, I would‘ve needed to read the previous book in the trilogy for them to understand what is happening. Maybe my students could have a book club where they read the previous books and then read this book.

This book is about a 15 year old boy Charles Wallace meeting Gaudior, a time traveling unicorn. Together, they go back to the past to try to find the might have been or known as a moment that could‘ve changed the entire present and future of the earth. I‘ve never read the other Time Trilogy books so I was very confused. It was disappointing to never see Mad Dog‘s character actually is never seen by Charles Wallace.
“Gradually, the Wind people began to accept him as one of themselves, to forget his outer differences.”
I thought it was interesting how Charles and the Gaudior traveled into the past of the winds to find a specific moment in the past.
pickA Swiftly Tilting Planet by Madeleine L‘engle published in 1978 demonstrates the use of Modern Fantasy very well. There are many characters such as the Gaudior, unicorn, and time traveler.
so-soAdmittedly this has been the hardest book in the series to read so far. I think having the characters so much older then in the first two books put me off a fair bit to be honest. Especially with Meg now married and oregnant.
#QuotsyMar19 Day 2: #rhyme and space, clime and blue. This book, alongside the whole Wrinkle in Time quintet, shall always hold a special place in my heart.
The best way to spend a snow day Saturday. ❤ #catsoflitsy
My new Christmas ornament. I was going to call him Gaudior but then realized he didn't have the wings.

Darcy also gave it 5 stars - she has been talking about bits of the story since she got up this morning. #raisingareader
“Anger is not bitterness. Bitterness can go on eating at a man‘s heart and mind forever. Anger spends itself in its own time.”
pickThis was another re-read via audiobook for me, and I found that I remembered very little of this one, either! Apparently of the three, only Wrinkle in Time really stayed with me. I liked this one a lot more than Wind in the Door, although the “kything” interludes felt a bit forced. I did really enjoy following the storyline as it traveled through each historical period. Still—Wrinkle in Time remains the superior book as far as this trilogy goes!
You know it‘s Monday when you arrive at work having allllllmost finished your audiobook, but not quite. Now I have to find a 15-minute task I can do while listening... because I can‘t just leave that 15 minutes till the end of the day!
Listening to this one now. I do find Madeleine L‘Engle so irritating in places because she‘s clearly enamored of the *idea* of science, without bothering too much about what doing science really looks like. Nobody wins a Nobel Prize by puttering around in their garage. Nobody cooks their dinner over the Bunsen burner in the garage-laboratory — it would contaminate the experiment and the dinner. Plus it would take forever.
This library hold auto-checked out to me last night... guess I‘d better get cracking on the last few hours of my current Agatha Christie audiobook! I really enjoyed Jennifer Ehle‘s narration on A Wind in the Door—looking forward to revisiting this one in audio form as well.
Haven‘t done one of these in awhile.
1.Winter...time too humid in the summers where I live.
2.Both, but I have a bad habit of over obligating to book club reads☺️.
3.Definitely print. I love the feel of holding a book, it‘s a more relaxing reading experience on my eyes, and I like enjoying filling the shelves with books I love.
@SilversReviews
1. Every 3-4 weeks (unless Hoopla/Overdrive/Libby count—then: multiple times weekly!)
2. The Library of Alexandria before it burned! Or THIS: https://www.walesonline.co.uk/whats-on/whats-on-news/welsh-library-stay-in-glads... 😍
3. Two audiobooks: tagged + Poirot Investigates
4. Can‘t remember! I had cards at two libraries from maybe age 4. One in the English village where we lived & one on the AFB where my dad worked.

so-soDefinitely not my favorite book so far. It was oddly written from more grown-up perspectives but still in the same overall tone as the first two books and for the same audience. It was a bit jarring to read at times. However, by the end of the book, I was on the edge of my seat wanting to know how things would work out, so that was nice at least.
The blurb for Swiftly Tilting Planet started with "Charles Wallace and a unicorn," and that's as far as I got. Time to take a break from juvenile books...
Excited to read my newest library borrow, Heart Berries!
So much turkey! She has mentioned turkey dinners in every book so far. Now I want a turkey dinner...
bailedI bailed. It just doesn‘t hold up in adulthood the way I wanted it to.
pickThis is the third book in the series and was my favorite so far! I loved the stories of all of the ancestors and how it all came together.
pickI have to say I rather enjoyed this third book in the series. I‘m still lost in this cosmic universe, but this story was particularly captivating. And Guadior the unicorn was a great character! Can‘t wait to see what happens in book four! 4/5 ⭐️
Unicorns find it embarrassing to be thanked. Please desist. 😂🦄

"Unicorns find it embarrassing to be thanked. Please desist."
Fun fact ?
pickTotally loves both these books. I never read the whole Time Quintet as a kid, but I‘m loving the fantasy/science/faith/family themes in the books. And Two Girls Down was totally intriguing. Kitty is exhausted from supporting reading all weekend. #catsoflitsy #timequintet #botm
I 🖤 the flow of these chapters!
"They had put up with her all through her prickly adolescence, and she still did not feel very grown up."

pickThis was a re-read for me. It's been at least 30 years since the first time so there were parts I did not remember. Ironicly it is a story about attempting to change things to avoid war due to a power crazy world leader. Sadly timely. I fell in love with Gaudior (the unicorn) all over again. Now that I have read all 5 books of the series I do still think this one is my favorite.
"I've never been sent to your planet before. It's considered a hardship assignment."
Moving on the the third in the Time Quintet.
Although A Wrinkle in Time was published in 1960 these next two were #publishedinthe70s 1973 & 1978 #jubilantjuly @RealLifeReading
Playing catch up with my #junebookbugs The House of Spirits is a book that's been on my tbr for a while. I need to read it. A Swiftly Tilting Planet is a book I accidentally stole from the library when I was 13. We were moving half-way across the country and the book accidentally ended up in a box. Oops! #setinthesouthernhemisphere #aplanetinthetitle
A series that rivals HP in my world. #aplanetinthetitle #junebookbugs @RealLifeReading
