A Ring of Endless Light | Madeleine L'Engle
post image

Stepping aside from catching up on reviews for a minute to bring up some old favorites: I've loved the works of Madeleine L'Engle almost as long as I can remember.

I feel like a lot of readers are familiar with the first three books of her Murray series, most often referred to as the Wrinkle in Time books, but I rarely hear people mention any of her other books.

Anyone else have favorites of hers outside the big three?

monalyisha I loved A Ring of Endless Light as a child! I had no idea, at the time, that it was part of a series; I found my copy at a deeply-discounted warehouse store within walking distance from my house. I still need to rectify that and read the series as an adult. Sounds like a cozy winter project to me! 2h
SpeculativeFemale @monalyisha I think the Austin Family books are absolutely worth it, but to be fair, I do probably have some longtime fan bias 😅 1h

I bought this YA fantasy for the incredible cover. Dani escapes after being wrongly imprisoned and seeks revenge. I liked the magic system and was blindsided by the twist.

The Assassin's Blade | Sarah J. Maas

#LittensLoveSJM #ToG The Assassin and the Healer: this was a great story and another example of Celaena finding a way to help someone and do something for the greater good. She meets Yrene, a wannabe healer who is adrift and feeling lost in the wake of Adarlan‘s conquest. She teaches Yrene some valuable lessons and gives her the means to become what she is destined to be. I have a feeling we will be seeing Yrene again. ⬇️

StayCurious Also, Arobynne is a horrible master and I hope Sam wasn‘t punished too badly. I can‘t believe what Celaena dealt with in Arobynne‘s guild. (edited) 8h
mcctrish I hope we do meet Yrene soon ❤️ and I look forward to hunting Arobynne down and killing him 8h

5feet.of.fury Celaena is such a badass and it was nice to see her being a “girl‘s girl” in this one. I‘m sure it‘ll come back around down the line 8h

A new case for Enola. This time a cold case with international entanglements lashes back at Enolas unknowing landlady and she has to rescue her. Along we ger to know Florence Nightingale who gives Sherlock a nice telling-off. 🫶🫶🫶

ElizaMarie I tried this one a couple time (chapter 1) on audio and I couldn‘t get into it. The reviews make me think it‘s gonna be a great story but not for me. I‘m sitting out this month 8h

#CHILDRENSCLASSICREAD2025 September
I read this aloud to students k4-12.
In all different school setting types for - GASP - 30 plus years. The students say they love it because it‘s real life, nothing truly happens to bullies they generally move on to someone else or you get separated by having a different class or teacher. Or you just deal.

A fun read, and the mystery kept me guessing. I loved that Lizzie Bennet and Mr. Darcy appeared!

This was my August selection for #JaneAustenThenAndNow @Crinoline_Laphroaig
#Pantone2025 #PrimrosePink @Lauredhel

Crinoline_Laphroaig I need to pick this author back up. 7h
julieclair @Crinoline_Laphroaig It was the first I‘ve read in this series, but I‘d be happy to read more. 2h
