This is a much nicer picture than this book deserves. I really should have shown it with flames instead of flowers, because it deserves death by fire for ruining a childhood favorite. It may be the only book I‘ve actually thrown in the trash. 😡 #crimesagainstcovers

LeahBergen Eee! Thanks for warning me (I won‘t be tempted if I come across it now).😂 6y
readordierachel Noted 😆 6y
rubyslippersreads @LeahBergen @ReadOrDieRachel There is a children‘s book with the same title which I haven‘t read, which might be okay, but the tagged book would scar any child who read it! 6y

LibrarianRyan By chance is this the one where animal boy dies in the war and the girl ends up married to her Cousion? 6y
BookwormM Oh dear that is not good 6y
rubyslippersreads @LibrarianRyan This is the one where the three main characters either sleep with each other or want to. 😳 6y
LibrarianRyan @rubyslippersreads lovely. One of the sequels was incorporated into one of the movie versions. colon and ----- marked and Dickon died in the war. OMG. I was sooo mad. 6y
Sarah83 Not good? 6y
RealBooks4ever Oh dear!...😮 6y
Kimberlone I think I remember watching the movie version of this...didn‘t realize it was adapted from a book sequel. The original book is SO good and ends on such a perfect note. (edited) 6y
batsy Oh noooo... Thanks for the warning 😉 #dontruinthesecretgarden 6y

I don't think I #threwitacrosstheroom, but I did throw it in the trash. If you love the original book, do not read this travesty of a sequel about Mary, Colin, and Dickon as adults. I couldn't even attempt making a pretty picture of it. #photoadaynov16

Ruri_kaichou Wwwhhhaaatttt? How can someone even think there should be a sequel??? 8y
Vexingcircumstance I didn't know a sequel even existed. 8y
rubyslippersreads @Vexingcircumstance @Ruri_kaichou I think there are other sequels too (at least one with the same title came up in the Litsy database). I haven't read them, though. I'm afraid. 😄 8y
GlitteryOtters Absolutely unnecessary book, the trash bin is an EXCELLENT place for it 👍👍😂 8y
