Mehso-so

This series isn‘t for me. I finished this book and got over halfway through the second, but it took way too long to get through them. I was finding a thousand other things to do instead of reading and ultimately I had to call it quits. Not enough story/character development, fine for a young audience but not for me.

So I gave up on windup girl. She‘s the title character and her introductory scene is her getting raped. Awesome. Not. So I picked up a Tad Williams that‘s been on my shelf for literally years. I think I got through the first chapter. Meh. So now I‘m rereading Beyond the Deepwoods in the hopes that I can at least read the 6 volumes I have of the Edge Chronicles. I feel a reading slump headed my way.

Owlizabeth Boooo reading slumps! Hope you find a winner! 6y

I feel like this is a very childish photo of me but hey ho. Gotta love being 27 and looking like I'm 12!

This is the second leg of the journey for me - train! - and a new book :)

I know why this series has different covers. It started out as book a. And I think the first 6 book or so look like a. The Edge Chronicles is one big series, but it's broken up into various sagas as you can see in c. However it has a Narnia problem with which order you should read them. Publication order, saga order, or strait time line order. Thank goodness the list them all on their website. #coverlove #changesedition

Linear Love the first, the second one looks way too much like a child's book versus like a middle school book, and the last looks like a cartoon poster. 7y
LibrarianRyan @Linear never thought of it that way. I like the last book but that may be because I think it more accurately describes the rest of the series when taken as a whole. 7y

These childhood favourites are my pick for #bookwithpictures 😊Beyond the Deepwoods is the very first book I remember being unable to put down. These are some of the books that made me into a reader, and are very close to my heart! #seasonsreadings2016

Redwritinghood Love these! I used to read them to my kids when they were little. 8y
missevievelyn @Redwritinghood yes!!! They're just so much fun! 8y

Another great series that's #fullofadventure is The Edge Chronicles. I used to read these aloud to my kids when they were younger and they loved them. Whenever the character Mugbutt appeared, I had to stop for the fit of giggles. Kid humor. #booktober

RealLifeReading This looks fun! What age were your kids when you first read this to them? 8y
Redwritinghood @RealLifeReading They were pre-school and primary school aged. I actually liked these a lot myself. Unique world and characters with great illustrations. 8y
InLibrisVeritas I read the first two of these as a kid and loved them! And then I gave them away😔 I need to find the others in the series and see how it ends. 8y
