pickI've been a fan of this series for years & it mostly holds up as an adult reading. More of a YA read than middle grade due to sexual content. There are discussions on good & evil, peer pressure, misogyny, & sex. I enjoyed the setting & retelling of Noah & the Ark. Very clever & entertaining. A bit of deus ex machina, but I let that slide since this is a younger book. L'Engle continues to be one of my favorite writers even after oh so many years.
so-soAs I graduated elementary school many, many years ago. My 5th grade teacher gave us each a book. This is the book I received. I actually no longer own this book or it went missing in my many moves but I have finally read this book give or take 20 years later.
It was nice to read this book finally after many years but I did not enjoy it as a story.

Love this rendition.😇✨⭐️🎼
I just couldn‘t continue with this. Too religious for my liking.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was really enjoyable! I loved the time travel element, and the characters were all so interesting!
A bunch of beautiful books in #tertiarycolors for #colormepretty day 19! I was determined to get all of them, so the top one is a book I haven‘t even read yet!
pickDone with book 2! Now giving my eyes a bit of a rest - pacing the house and listening to my audiobook for a few minutes. I‘d planned on listening to The Trials of Apollo, but accidentally reserved the ebook instead of the audiobook. 🤷🏼♀️ So I‘m listening to The Consuming Fire by John Scalzi instead. #readathon #deweys24hourreadathon @DeweysReadathon
I had to explain lawyer jokes to the kiddo last night. Once she got it, she thought it was hilarious. #kidhumor #raisingareader

pickThis one was my second favorite in the series and it is the fourth book of the quintet. I loved the biblical setting and all around good details that differentiate from today's world. Now on to the last one...
I think this one is my favorite of this series so far. The twins‘ adventure is just pure joy to read! #timequintet #currentread #dogsoflitsy
pickI have to say this is my favorite of this series so far! I loved that this one focused on the twins, Sandy and Dennys. The story telling was just beautiful with it being set just before Noah and the flood. I thoroughly enjoyed this one from start to finish. Unlike the others I wasn‘t too lost in this one! 😊 5/5 ⭐️
Latest #bookhaul. The tagged book is (one of) my current read, the fourth in the Time Quintet. Really enjoying the series. Annihilation is our next work book club book, and A Wrinkle in Time is for March. And I had to buy Simon after I finished that from the library!
pickJust finished this one this morning. It's definitely a lot better than A Wind in the Door and A Swiftly Tilting Planet...but none of them compare to A Wrinkle in Time, in my opinion. However, still a fine read, so it's a pick.
Glory be unto the choosing jar! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
My boys know how much I love the Wrinkle in Time series so they added these two to the first 3 for my birthday. 🎂🎈#liberthday @Liberty
A range of #YA for #smellsliketeenspirit, all of them favorites for different reasons. All books pictured were taken from my "everyday bookcases" where most of my favorite books live (see previous post).
Side note:
I love this song so much & have for many years (I was 9yo when Nevermind dropped, but 11yo when I first listened to it). I still wonder what incredible music Kurt Cobain might have created if he hadn't died. #27club

so-soWhile a good twist on the Noah & the Ark story, this is my least favorite of the Time Quintet series. I just don't connect with the characters as much as those of the other books. They're fine & the story is sweet, but my main draw to it is that it is part of this series, not the story itself.
Many Waters put me at 77 books for this year! Maybe I'll try to finish the year at an even 100.

pickBook 4 in the Wrinkle in Time series. (out of 5) Mini mammoths, unicorns, time travel and Noah. A very fun read that was much more mature than I expected.
