This is my non-mystery #serieslove2024 list. There‘s no way I‘ll read all of these along with the rest of my planned reading for the year, but I definitely want to pick off a few of them. The tagged book might (or might not) be one of them. #shipsorsailing #newyearnewbooks
pick“Courage, dear heart.” In a book where everything that could go wrong does go wrong, this encouraging whisper in a moment of bleak darkness is the glimpse of light we as the reader and our hero need to hear. Written more as a collection of short adventures than a single arc, this story takes the reader on a wild ride of high and low waves. #narnia #52challenge

pickKing Caspian sets out on a voyage to try to find the great lords banished from Narnia by his uncle and has the unexpected pleasure of the company of King Edmund, Queen Lucy, and their most irritating cousin Eustace. And off they go on the Dawn Treader to the edge of the world where Eustace has a chance to learn manners and the heroic mouse Reepicheep to prove the depth of his courage. Another enjoyable tour of the lands of Narnia and Aslan.
I‘m so happy only a year has passed since Prince Caspian‘s tale rather than a thousand or more years that passed between The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and Prince Caspian. So we get Reepicheep the mouse in all his heroic glory! But oh how Eustace gets on my nerves. I‘m enjoying this one almost as much as the former books—I‘m waiting for Eustace to improve his behavior before I cast final judgment on this book in the series.
pickThis has always been my favorite and still is. And, as always, love Reepicheep!

When I was younger, I loved this book! It was actually my favorite, outside of the first book, of the Narnia series. Posting this makes me want a re-read!
I‘m awake and unhappy about it
What a great day! Anticipating the Zoom event of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe Book Club with Patti Callahan, Douglas Gresham, David C Downing, & more of the National Book Festival!

pickYou know, if Ramandu's daughter turned out to be a great queen and starter of a lineage, you'd think Clive could have given her a NAME. #childrenslit
pick5/5⭐️ (I‘m getting a Reepicheep tattoo because he‘s the best)
pickAnother enjoyable #reread of the Chronicles of Narnia! I‘m so glad to revisit each of these.
#NarniaReadalong #audiobook
pickIs it weird that this one was my favorite jaunt through Narnia of the three I've read so far? We follow Edmund and Lucy into Narnia, this time with their insufferable cousin Eustace in tow. He's such a little shit that he's bound to have some character growth and the Pevensies and the crew of the Dawn Treader search far and wide for some of Prince Caspian's father's old friends. This book felt less heavy-handed on the religious undertones
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ◼️ I absolutely love this series...I only wish that I had read these sooner!!! https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3871079182 #LitsyLove #NarniaReadAlong #DawnTreader
pickReading this as an adult I find the story moves along better than it did when I was a child. At the same time I find Reepicheep far more annoying than I did as a child. My favorite part still remains Eustace being turned into a dragon and ultimately becoming a better person. This was my #Bookspin read for the month. #BookspinBingo #NarniaReadalong
so-so149 pages. I'd say first couple of books were better. This one felt a bit long for what was told, and ending was a bit dissapointing.

A Magician has changed the look of the Duffers as he thought their original form was ugly and they are better off in their new bodies. How typical of a humankind to think we know better what suits other life forms.

pickI really enjoyed this one. It ended a little abruptly but it was my favorite so far 🧡

I was late reading this one, but I finished just in time to start the next book today and get back on track.
This book was a lot of fun. I absolutely loved that Reepicheep was back too. 💚 I did miss the other siblings, but having Eustace and Prince Caspian helped. Although Eustace frustrated me, he still helped keep the story interesting.
Don't you just hate Eustace? What a little man, pretentious, sexist prick!
Guess what Eustace, nobody consented to travel with you either. The feeling is mutual.

I want to try to keep up with the #narniareadalong but I haven‘t even started this one yet 😱 I think between moving, work, and munchkin I may need to opt out until we‘re settled 😟
Finished reading The Voyage of the Dawn Treader today 🙌🏼 just in time to catch up for the #narniareadalong 😅
And what a great book!! Weird, I hardly remembered any of it from my childhood, it‘s such a good imaginative story.
And Reepicheep - what a valiant hero 🐭💓💪🏼
Looking forward to The Silver Chair 💫
pickI didn‘t remember a lot of this one going in, but some of the islands came back to me as they landed. I enjoyed this one, it‘s more like a Gulliver‘s Travels to unique lands (with some Christian mythology thrown in as Aslan continues to make appearances) than a specific mission. An enjoyable read as a series of mini adventures as they search uncharted lands to the east looking for the lost Lords of Caspian‘s father‘s reign.
#NarniaReadAlong
pickFinished this for the Narnia read along. So far, this is my favorite of the books that I‘ve read from this series. I‘m not sure why; it just is. As someone already pointed out, there‘s no real tight plot — just Caspian looking for some missing lords from when his father was king; instead, each chapter or two is like its own little mini adventure for the crew.
pickI couldn't resist and ended up reading the last few chapters this morning to finish this reread early. What a fun adventure!! This book is a little more episodic than the first two books, but I rather enjoyed the way most chapters (or pairs) were their own mini-adventure. A delightful journey!! I'm quite looking forward to The Silver Chair, which is the one I remember the least. Thanks for hosting the #NarniaReadalong @CaffeineAndCandy !!
pickI thought I recalled this was one of my least favorite in prior readings of this series but I must say it‘s a favorite now. So much so that I had to keep going and finish the adventure a bit early. So thankful the #NarniaReadalong nudged me to reread this series. Can‘t wait til the next one.
Happy to sink into this one for a few chapters, for the #narniareadalong. I remember it being one of my favorites as a kid, but virtually nothing else about it.
I started this tonight for the Narnia read along. Good start.
#bookreport
Finished the first Percy Jackson series, and need to figure out what‘s next in that world. Starting tagged for #NarniaReadalong today. Really need to devote energy to Deep River and Hybrid Church for work reading this week. Poor Jane Jacobs is getting tabled for the moment. I do want to read a little more, to see if I‘m even interested in it, though.
#WeeklyForecast - finishing A Lady's Guide for #LMPBC then reading Parker Pyne for #AgathaChristieClubR2. The Boy is my #NewYearWhoDis book this month and Mansfield Revisited has been on my TBR for a while so this seemed like the perfect time to finally get to it!! Not sure if I will get any further. I've been meaning to read The Raven Boys series for literal years & can't believe they are finally this close to the top of the TBR!!!⬇️
Hey 👋! We start the third book in the #NarniaReadalong tomorrow. As you all know, we are reading them in publication order and not in the series order. I‘m a bit behind and haven‘t made a post for Prince Caspian yet. I hope 🤞 everyone is enjoying the readalong so far. It‘s so great to have you all in this! 💜😘
Where sky and water meet,
Where the waves grow sweet,
Doubt not, Reepicheep,
To find all you seek, There is the utter East. -C.S. Lewis. #narnia #classics #waterfillsmysoul
pickThe Voyage of the Dawn Treader by C.S. Lewis, at least to the point I‘ve read so far (which is about two thirds) has been a really good read! Edmund and Lucy Pevensie are pulled into Narnia once again, this time with their cousin Eustace along for the ride. On the ship the Dawn Treader the trio is welcomed by King Caspian, Reeepicheep, as well as Drinian and his crew. (cont‘d in comments)
I absolutely love this book series. Watching the movie tonight. 😎 #movienight
Thanks for the #Two4Tuesday tag, @QuietlyLaura !
1. 4-year-old Me desperately wanted to be Reepicheep. Adult Me still wouldn‘t mind being Reep. He was my childhood hero.
2. Lots of it, every year, as early as mid-October. I have very little patience with people who romanticize it, even though I try to remind myself that most of them live in places where snow has a very different impact on their lives.
pickThis is my favorite of the Narnia series. This has some of my favorite scenes, like Eustace with the dragon, Lucy and the magic book, the Dufflepuds, the Island of Darkness, and Ramandu's island.
I think this one is about temptation and the grace that follows.
"There was a boy called Eustace Clarence Scrubb, and he almost deserved it."

@ShyBookOwl
One of my favorite first lines!
pickI‘m struggling with rating this. There was much of it that I loved, but it didn‘t keep me turning pages or as interested as the first two. I loved Eustace‘s storyline. The dragon and Deathwater island were probably two of my favorite parts. By the end, though, I was like, “Okay, bye.” 😂 Narnia is still a place I love to be, so a pick this will be as well, for I am remembering what sunshine feels like.
