I love this story. It‘s how I try to live my life, especially professionally. I always try to remind myself of this when things get hard, and if I end each day having made a difference to just one “starfish,” then I‘m doing okay.

so-soThis reminded me of L‘Engle‘s Troubling a Star—it has a similar “teenager gets caught up in international intrigue” plot. I liked the idea of it, but the intrigue part of it felt too unrealistic. And the main character felt WAY too naive to me, so as he struggled to figure out who to trust, I just rolled my eyes. I‘m torn on how to rate this, because I would‘ve loved it when I was a kid. I definitely read it too late! But how ‘bout that cover? 😂
My husband glanced at this truly terrible cover from 1980 and said: “What is that? It looks like you‘re reading some sexy beach book or something.” 🤦🏻♀️ 😂 Madeleine L‘Engle does not write “sexy beach books,” but I have to admit that the story has been a little eye-roll-inducing so far... matching the cover!
The latest #24in48 prompt is the perfect opportunity to show off my finds from yesterday‘s secondhand bookshop excursion. My favorite series, as a child, were Madeleine L‘Engle‘s Wrinkle in Time books. I couldn‘t resist this groovy green 1965 edition!
Day 54: Living by the ocean is great but sometimes I wish we had more seasons ☃️🌈🌞🍁

Happy National Book Lovers Day!! This is Edgar Allen Crow and he is perched atop my hardcover Madeleine L'Engle collection on invisible shelves. I've inducted my daughter, Phoenix, into her own love of L'Engle and it makes me incredibly happy, especially when A Wind in the Door was required reading and my girl got to tell her teacher she already read it. My work is done.
