pickFinally read this after collecting the set. Unfortunately I‘d recently watched the later movie adaptation which is fairly close to the events in the book. As usual, some greater depth and understanding of characters and events through reading the book, and these increased the interest. Enjoyed, quite wholesome, and looking forward to Prince Caspian, the story of which I am quite unfamiliar.
Visited a couple castles this week, so here‘s mine!
“The castle of Cair Paravel on its little hill towered up above them; before them were the sands, with rocks and little pools of salt water, and seaweed, and the smell of the sea and long miles of bluish-green waves breaking for ever and ever on the beach. And oh, the cry of the seagulls! Have you heard it? Can you remember?”

pickPart biography of two great writers, part examination on what makes myths and fairy tales, part memoir of CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien‘s friendship & influence on each other‘s writings, this graphic novel manages to be deeply moving and an encouragement for creators of any kind to find their community to grow.
This was an absolute delight. And the ending brought me to tears on my bus ride today. Absolutely would do it again. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗
A fun outing to a cute little book store 🌸📖

pickThis is an absolute must read for any big fans of Tolkien and Lewis. It‘s the story of their friendship told as a graphic novel with excursions into the creation of the fantasy genre and more. It‘s part biography, part fantastical tale, and part choose your own adventure. I love that it explores the friendship, but it also gives info about both men‘s childhoods, marriage, and time as soldiers. It‘s wonderfully done.
pickLewis truly had a gift to break down complex issues into bit-size understandable chunks.
Looking into the what, the how and the Who behind some questions everyone asks themselves at one point in their lives; and explaining in a sensible manner the why behind Christianity

I‘ve read this book before, but it has been at least 15 years, so it was good to go into it with fresh eyes.
I think Lewis most shines in this one when he is describing the nuances of different types of love, pity, creating, etc.
It was especially interesting to read this book with my study group after reading a more modern view on Hell & the afterlife. Lots of good thoughts & good conversations.
so-so
