⭐️⭐️⭐️ another one down for #bookspinbingo! This one took such a long time to get started, that I got a little bored! Oh well.

TheAromaofBooks Great progress, though!! 4y

Plans:
-finish some of the shit I‘m already reading (I‘ve got 5 books going right now y‘all...)🤷🏻‍♀️
-maybe finally start The Cruel Prince!

Bring on the weekend! ☕️📚

Out of the Time Quintet, A Wrinkle in Time and Many Waters are the only ones I really enjoy. The others have just been so-so for me. This one just seemedt boringly slow, uninteresting, and uninspired—and a little preachy at times. I know L‘Engle mixes theology with science, and I enjoyed that in AWIT and MW, but it was just overwhelming in this one. But...I would probably still recommend reading the entire series.

I will never be friends with “them”. ✌🏼

KathyWheeler True! I also look askance at people who have no books in their house. 7y
Leftcoastzen 😳No reading? No books? 😔 7y
AllenTStClair @KathyWheeler I‘ll give ‘em a pass if they have a loaded e-reader, but they‘ll still get a side eye. 7y

JanuarieTimewalker13 Yeah, when people say that I make silent judgments...but I‘m pretty sure it shows all over my face. Not very good at hiding things. Lol 7y
AllenTStClair @JanuarieTimewalker13 Uncultured. That‘s what they are. 7y
JanuarieTimewalker13 You know, I just think the passion hasn‘t been lit in them. Maybe with the right book, it could change things. I can‘t imagine it not. Now, when I was younger, admittedly, I read far less, but I danced far more, which is also beneficial. But I AlWAYS read and I AlWAYS respected those who did. I would never, ever disparage reading. How can you? It opens up other people‘s minds to you, so you can take a peek into their genius!! Reading is groovy😀 7y
AllenTStClair @JanuarieTimewalker13 🙌🏼 You‘re preaching to the choir! 7y
JanuarieTimewalker13 I know, that‘s why Litsy is so fantastic !!!❤️ 7y
JanuarieTimewalker13 Btw, my library is going to order the Mahood book for me!! Yahoo!! 7y
KathyWheeler @AllenTStClair Yes! But they‘ve got to at least have the loaded e-reader. 7y

1) Done! 😁
2) Riot in the Grayson County Jail?
3) Unfortunately, no. Writing, though. 😁
4) How do you get an “A” on everything? Commit adultery in a 17th century Puritan town.
5) 👍🏼Will do!

Finally reading this one as an adult after missing it as a kid. Enjoyable so far, but not my favorite of the series.

Yes, I am glad I read this series. No, I will not be reading it again. It was very slow going and a lot of science. #Charlie #catsoflitsy

Meeko93 Zachary is definitely one of the worst characters I have ever encountered 😠 7y

So I have finally made it through this series. I have to say this one wasn‘t my favorite, mostly because it was slow going. Only the last 100-150 pages really got into the action. While getting to know Polly was nice, and her interactions with the other characters was interesting, I would have liked more backstory on Zachary, since he really seemed to be the main antagonist. All in all, interesting concept, but it just drug out for me. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

It is sometimes hard to pick a rating. If there was one between pick and so-so I would chose that. An interesting idea that did drag in places, while other bits were wonderful. It did have more "God" stuff than I was expecting but it fit into the story well enough to not be annoying. It's odd to finish a series as an adult that I began in high school 30 something years ago. I have to wonder what my high school self would have thought about this.

This final installment in the Time Quintet is ok, & I got into the story better than that of Many Waters, but mainly, I wanted to smack Zachary so badly. Overall the story is fine, but I wish L'Engle had left this series a trilogy.

Not my most favorite of her books but it definitely picked up towards the end. Zachary is a selfish pig, he drove me absolutely crazy! 😠 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

About halfway through this. Not enjoying it as much as the Austin family stories but still finding it comforting, L'engle's books provide the backdrop to my adolescence. ❤️
