Nooooooooooo cliffhanger. Well, Squiders, we’ve reached book 3. (I think this may have been the one I read first as a kid. It seems…more familiar than the others, if such a thing can be said about a series of books
The Enchanted Forest Chronicles Readalong: Searching for Dragons
(Man, that’s a mouthful of a title, isn’t it?) Well, moving right along here in readalong land, aren’t we? I think I managed to read this in about three hours. Maybe less. Personally, I liked it a lot more than
The Enchanted Forest Chronicles Readalong: Dealing with Dragons
Hoorah! Here we go, Squiders. If this is your first time through this series, I hope you’re enjoying it thus far. I know I am. What’s the most brilliant about this series, I think, is how it takes fairy tale

Time Quintet Re-read: A Swiftly Tilting Planet
I want to begin by saying that I have a paperback copy from 1981, and Charles Wallace has an epically bad late-70s/early-80s haircut on the cover. Let’s see. Having read this now, I don’t think I’ve read it before. I
General Update and Thoughts on Adaptations
First of all, I want to apologize for missing Thursday’s update. I spent all of Thursday convinced it was Wednesday, and it wasn’t until my to-do app yelled at me about not blogging at about 8 PM that I realized
Time Quintet Re-read: Many Waters
Hopefully no one got confused (like Ian *cough*) and read A Swiftly Tilting Planet instead. While Planet was published before Many Waters, Many Waters goes first chronologically. I still like it a lot. Bible mythology is one of my very
