thewallflower0707 Hi, can I ask you where you bought the letter pieces? I really love your aesthetic. 3y

bookish.mum @thewallflower0707 Thank you ❤ I just got them out of a Scrabble game I have. There are similar tiles at Kmart, like little wooden type ones 😊 3y

A Wrinkle in Time | Madeleine L'Engle

pick

This is a great story for autumn with its beautiful prose about that season. It has some really weird Christian references that I didn‘t really see adding to the story (the story would be just as good without them) and possibly even detracting from it a bit. This is quite an adventure that is certainly worth the time. I love that the same groups that went after this book also burned the Harry Potter books.

TheBookHippie The whole series as a child was magical for me. 3y

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie I‘m still sort of on the fence about continuing the series. The book was really good, but it feels very complete for me. I‘d hate to end up hating where it goes. 3y

TheBookHippie @GingerAntics it‘s been tooo long to advice 😂 3y

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie 😂🤣😂 3y

TheBookHippie @GingerAntics I know Ring of Endless Light I loved but no idea why 😅 but that‘s the Austin Family series .. 3y

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie same author? 3y

TheBookHippie @GingerAntics Yes it‘s a whole series. I believe I‘ve read all of this author -my favorite as a teen was Camilla. Dark and I had never read a book with a marriage that wasn‘t good and a mother that was 🤯 like mine. It was soothing. 3y

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie the life is normal story? 🤣😂🤣 I have no idea why we paint like as this perfect thing for children. Ugh. 3y

TheBookHippie @GingerAntics 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 3y

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie I feel like I spend half my life shouting from the roof tops. Kids aren‘t stupid, they‘re just short. They tend to gravitate toward books, movies, and shows that present life realistically. Those also tend to be the books that get banned, sadly. 3y

kspenmoll @TheBookHippie This author was magical for me too. I did read the series, but this first was my favorite. I did reread this a few years ago & still enjoyed it. I should try & reread some of the others in the series because I remember so little! @GingerAntics 3y

kspenmoll @GingerAntics Love your “ Kids aren‘t stupid, they‘re just short.” Was talking with some HS students today & they were amazed at some of the titles of “banned books.” What a great job I have - I get to talk about books!!! 3y

TheBookHippie @kspenmoll I‘m thinking a reread may be in order for me. 3y

GingerAntics @kspenmoll I talked about banned books with my high school students every year and the vast majority of them didn‘t even know books could be banned. Inevitably, someone always asks “isn‘t this unconstitutional?” I‘ve even done it with college freshmen and sophomores, same reaction. They‘re so interested and rightfully outraged. I love it!!! 3y

This made me think of Good Omens… such a different book from this one.

The Book of Dust | Philip Pullman

It sat on my shelf for two years, but I'm finally diving in to #TheBookofDust! I am a huge #PhilipPullman fan so my expectations are fairly high.

P.S. I just re-read #AWrinkleinTime and...meh. I barely remembered it from 8th grade so I wanted to revisit it, as I know it is loved by many. I didn't hate it, but I expected more. I wanted certain ideas to be better fleshed out, and for it to be more climactic. I'll stick with #Pullman and #Rowling.

A Wrinkle in Time Trilogy | Madeleine L'Engle

Picked up A Wrinkle in Time , so my daughter and I could listen to it in the car. It's read by the author, and I'm having a hard time with her voice. Hopefully we'll be able to get through it.
