Hi, I‘m @AnishaInkspill, I've been here for over a year. I haven‘t always read books, I came to them, moving forward, I wanted to approach this year to get to more of the books I‘ve been wanting to read. This is how my #3BookChallenge2026 came about: #26Shorts2026, #LongReadsWorkout2026 and #LikeForLikeReads2026.

The bigger goal was to keep my reading fun, that how I created these three.⬇️

According to the Barnes and Noble blog, Peter Pan has gerascophobia (fear of growing old).

I am distraught. This did not work. The book is, quite simply, uncooked. Needed several more revisions with a strong editor. I don't think this book falling flat damages the His Dark Materials legacy, but I do think as HDM lives on The Book of Dust is likely to go largely unread.

It‘s hard for me to dislike Malcolm but his attraction to Lyra does make me side-eye Pullman. Untoward! Not toward!

I'm gonna die! I love it so much!

In my fantasy world, Lee Scoresby and Iorek Byrnison are just my dads and we travel the world by balloon, leaving a trail of mayhem and mischief in true chaotic good fashion.

One of the things I love about this series is how it hits me differently each time I read it! This time around I am conflicted about the young romance but will never not be absolutely thrilled by the reveal of the Authority. As over-the-top preachy as Pullman can be, his conclusion there is brilliant satire. (Avoiding spoilers but will add in the comments.)

For me, it cannot compete with Golden Compass but it's not supposed to. Like all trilogies, this one has its bridge book. And I love it still.

The start of a fresh binge so that I can finally read the new trilogy!! Told a friend that this is a cozy, nostalgic read for me and his response was “isn't it like, really violent?“

They can't all be sugarplums, I guess.

The human spider demons make me so uncomfortable, but other than that, this was a really enjoyable volume. The humor mixed in makes the story feel so much lighter than it actually is, but I'm really liking that about it.
