I am posting one book per day from my extensive, and ever growing, TBR shelves. Some are old and some are new, some were gifts and some I don't remember why I bought them.

Some Sunday afternoon reading in my pyjamas. The Redwall series was one of my favourites as a kid and I'm enjoying re-reading some of the books. Mossflower is the second book in the series if you are reading them in publication order.

Brian Jacques shows the embodiment of friendship with the characters of Mossflower. It is such a humbling experience reading about their commitment to each other and the success of Mossflower Woods. It‘s also written in a way that readers young and old will enjoy the story. This series is such a treasure, I encourage anyone who reads fantasy to pick it up. #fantasy

7 days, 7 covers, no explanations.
Day 3 (I posted late whoops): Mossflower (Redwall prequel) by Brian Jacques, purchased in the 1990s
@TsundokuAleax , would you like to play?
I have several green covers, but I went with this one because I wanted to show off 🤦🏻♀️.
(Also, did you know “Jacques” rhymes with “shakes”?)

Mossflower is the sequel to Martin the Warrior and the story of how Martin came to found Redwall Abbey.
🐁🐁🐁🐁 I was a bit disappointed by the first book but this one was definitely way better. There were different characters and not as many clichés. This story took place way before the first book and it was really entertaining. I think I'll carry on with the series.
#fancyfunfonts God, I love these books. #readingresolutions @Jess7
Finishing book 2 when I finally Googled "stoat" ? If I'd read it when I was nine that would not have been possible and I'd have only my imagination to rely on. Feeling kind of conflicted about it. #24in48
Probably my absolute favorite book growing up. I recently purchased my 4th copy after reading each one to death. Had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Jacques years ago. Always always always recommend these books to adults and children. The BEST descriptions and characters. #mossflower #redwall #brianjacques #imagination #talkinganimals
Speaking of #setinaschool, today I went to my son's elementary school for orientation because I'll be volunteering in --where else?-- the library.
The first book I remember checking out from a school library is Mossflower--anyone else read that as a kid? I think it ended up being a series with many, many books. I only read five or six. #booktober #FunFridayPhoto
A few of the books from my shelves that have maps. I always loved the maps at the beginning of the Redwall books by Brian Jacques! I also loved seeing the map of the Seven Dials in The Mime Order. #mapsinbooks #somethingforsept
If you've ever read the Redwall series you'll understand why these #booksmademehungry! There are so many feasts and lots of wonderful descriptions of the food and drink being served- so much so that there's a Redwall cookbook! I really need to pick it up sometime and try to recreate these feasts I loved reading about as a kid! 😋
