4/5⭐️

One March #bookspin down; one more to go.

It was as good as I remembered.

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 1w

Tepid pick for IRL book club. The narrative starts out strong and the ending is good, but the middle meanders with descriptions of other worldly beings and landscapes without much character development or plot.

The best line was the MC realizing he couldn‘t trust alien shepherds because after all, the cyclops were shepherds too. 🤣

Was using the foil of sci fi for spiritual philosophy a new thing? (1938)

quietlycuriouskate I remember loving this when I read it as a kid: your review makes me disinclined to risk a re-read, though. 2w

If I‘m in a reading slump, I usually go to an old favorite, like the tagged or a favorite genre (cozy mystery or golden age mystery). With any luck, one of the two will kick things back in for me.

Great question @BookmarkTavern I enjoyed seeing the different ways readers deal with a slump.

#SundayFunday on Monday (again 🙄).

BookmarkTavern This is a great one to revisit! Thanks for sharing! 💕 1mo

Watching this remake of #chroniclesofnarnia I always thought it was a pretty good representation, and the level of sass is on point! What do you think?

I had just purchased this tagged book for my brother when I read this in A Letter for Mary.As a very young precocious reader,my brother was wild for Tolkien & owned many first editions.He lost everything in a fire when wild fires in CA burned down his house,garage, brewery.His family got out;he suffered burns on his arms. Fortunately I had borrowed his letters from Father Christmas, so he has this original book.We sibs celebrate #Jólabókaflóðið

AnnCrystal That's horrible 📚 glad he escaped 🙏💝. 3mo
Jari-chan I'm sorry for what happened to your brother, but am glad that they got out 🙏 3mo
kspenmoll @AnnCrystal @Jari-chan This happened about 15 years ago- they rebuilt & all is well. Thank you for your concern- Tolkien throws be back to that time. (edited) 3mo
LeahBergen I‘m sure he‘s going to love this gift! ❤️ 3mo
AnnCrystal @kspenmoll that's good 😘💝. 3mo

I've been meaning to re-read this book.
Enjoyed it just as much this time around, with the added bonus of Screwtape's speech.

Found this interesting. Some of C.S. Lewis's arguments could be difficult to follow. While I might not agree with every point, I still found the book thought-provoking.
