The Tripod Trilogy was a wonderful introduction to science fiction for me as a child, never got around to reading the prequel, so I was excited to find a copy.

BookmarkTavern Whoah! I remember these books from my elementary school! They were a trip! 😂 4y

SpaceCowboyBooks @rwmg The prequel came out in 1988 after the BBC tv series. 4y
rwmg @SpaceCowboyBooks Since I read the books in the early 1970s, that may be why I never noticed the prequel 😁 (edited) 4y

In middle school I volunteered in my school's library and discovered this series when I was shelving one day. It's been true love ever since. 💜I always buy a copy when I find one at a thrift store - and have slowly collected several editions. I live in a small apartment, and sometimes struggle to find shelf space, but I'll always make room. Is there a series you collect?

AnnieReads The Gabriel Allon series by Daniel Silvia. I have them all - most nice first editions and a few in paperback. I always keep an eye out for first editions to replace my paperback copies. 7y

MorganNotMegan Ahh all of those sound so good! Adding to my TBR 7y
Gissy I have the same problem, I live in a tiny lovely place but is still tiny. So I have to place my books in a very peculiar way. I wish I could have space to have my books and bookish items around the shelves 7y
