Hi there ! I never normally do this but I had to comment and tell you how much I adore your blog! I just came across it now and I am so happy I have, it is so wonderful and you truly have a great blog. I am going to follow you so I can keep up to date with all of your latest posts. Keep up the great work!
I haven’t read this in a long time and have nearly forgotten it. I love the cover, a fine example of a rare artist who actually did their research: most artists simply do horrible horses (and horse derived creatures like centaurs).
I read one book (I believe it was one of the Vicki Austin ones) and kind of went “waht …just… happened?!?!?!” I was expecting high fantasy and it was a sort of mystery and some baloney about what skirt to wear and having to choose between two boyfriends. Bleah. Maybe it was Troubling a Star. Oh well. I don’t like Picasso either. Or pepperoni pizza.
Let us know a bit about what you think of Wrinkle.
In fact it irritated me so much that I asked a friend to read it and bounce off me what he thought the problem was. There were lots of things I just Could Not Relate to besides a heroine who worries about what to wear. Fancy Aunts and Money and really can’t she just pick up a sword or something…
Going off to watch the latest Companion on Doctor Who now…

Yes, it was Troubling a Star. Just not my thing. Ugh.
