Welcome to Litsy!

Train ride to the weekend adventures but I might enjoy that book too much and finish it in one go.
Always loving a plot with a bookworm and a library :)

So after I don't even know how long. I have been wanting to finish this book. This was my first Wizard book. Before Harry Potter. The series is called Young Wizardry.
Nita just wants to get away from bullies, and comes across an interesting book while hiding in the library. Just reading a page in the book, changes her world. To a world within ours. Along with a new friend Kit. They are tasked to prevent the end.

So I continue to be waayyyyyy behind on #24in48 - I've only read an hour and a half so far because I realized last night that I still needed to catch up on sleep (and then slept for 12 hours). I decided I'm not going to set a new goal; just keep reading and see how far I get. I do have a meeting in an hour, so in the meantime I'm going to start rereading one of my favorite books. 😊

I read mostly library books and collect hardcovers and nice trade paperback copies of books for my own collection. The problem with that is that, when I decide I want to read in the bath, I‘m not willing to risk any of the books high on my TBR. So I‘m starting a reread of this ratty library discard paperback I read as a kid. I remember almost nothing about it except that the premise is stellar✨ #kidlit #middlegrade #fantasy

I‘ve got a lot of wizards on my bookcases! 🧙‍♂️

A very zen book about wizards and the possible destruction of the planet. Some parts were a little too zen but others were unique and intense. A LOT about science.

I found this book when we were doing the #HarryPotterSwap and I was really intrigued. Was so excited when I found it at the thrift store! I‘m going to read it first then share this as a read aloud probably with my boys! ❤️❤️

Thank you @bullbunny ! I love my mug and the book😊 My mug collection is now complete. And no worries about the other package. I'm sure it'll get here soon 🙂

I remember loving this series as a young reader; they sparked my imagination and asked me to look within and beyond myself. I just learned today that the author is having difficulties making rent (https://t.co/XcoFCcogpX?amp=1) and would appreciate any sales from her ebook store here https://ebooksdirect.dianeduane.com I suppose this is a very good time to revisit a favorite childhood series!

If you've ever read Diane Duane's Young Wizards series, you might be interested in her ebook sale. She's recently had some financial difficulties, so this is your chance to score some great YA and help out a wonderful author! DianeDuane.com/outofambit/a-difficult-appeal/

It feels nice to be surrounded by my kind of people. (o・・o)/

Rereading this childhood favorite of mine since discovering that a tenth book came out last year and an eleventh is in the works.

I've had these books forever, and I have yet to read any of them?

Do you have books that just sit on your shelf unread?

Day 24: Urban Fantasy. Young wizards, fantasy check. Manhattan setting, urban check. This is an old used copy that has the first three books. They did rerelease a newer updated version of this series (it was originally published in 1982). #junebookbugs @RealLifeReading

I was promised this would be similar to A Wrinkle in Time, and it was! Need I say more?

Diane Duane's Young Wizards series is one of my favorites of all time. Magic and adventure and stands up to rereading. #tbrtemptation for all my magic-loving #Littens Plus the series is on sale as ebooks http://ebooksdirect.dianeduane.com/collections/the-young-wizards-series/products...

I spent a large part of today grieving and filled horror at the atrocities we humans commit against each other. I will never forget #Aleppo, nor those abandoned there. However, I remembered the Wizard's Oath from one of my favorite childhood series, and it gave me some peace, an oath I can stand by 🌱☮️🌻🌍

A good middle grade fantasy novel with all the required elements (young 'uns discovering wizardry, magic in the every day that leads to strange lands, tasks that seem impossible but that turn out to be possible all the same,...), although I thought it got a little slow toward the end.

A group of Millenials reminisced so poetically about this, I just had to read it. But I think it was best read before Harry Potter and at a much younger age. Anyway, I did like the talking trees particularly coming to the rescue in Central Park and the dragon who lived deep within the subway system! Also liked that the main character is a girl, and that she overcomes her bullies, as a result of wizardry, but not how she anticipated!

"Wizards love words. Most of them read a great deal, and indeed one strong sign of a potential wizard is the inability to get to sleep without reading something first."

How many wizards out there?

She loved any library, big or little; there was something about all the knowledge, all those facts waiting patiently to be found that never failed to give her a shiver. When friends couldn't be found, the books were always waiting with something new to tell.

Attended @bookriot Read Harder meetup and members had such fond memories of this book. One of the group said you HAVE to experience going to the library and taking it off the shelf. So, I did! Want to finish before next meeting on Sunday! 👍🏻 Has anyone read it? Thought it also could work for #weirdbook #septemberphotochallenge #somethingforseptember

And I wanted to see the life on other planets. There's more life in *this* world than I expected.
