pickI‘ve started reading Meet the Austins to my 10 yo granddaughter bc this has always been a favorite series, in addition to the Murrys and O‘Keefes of the Wrinkle in Time series. At some point in the chronology there is a mingling of the 2 families, and I hope to work on both series over the next 12-16 mos.

I feel like sometimes people forget that L'Engle wrote more than just the Wrinkle in Time books. I loved her Austin family books, too!

Happy to be starting this series! I love Madeleine L‘Engle and we had a dog-eared copy of The Young Unicorns growing up that I read pieces of, but I‘ve never read the rest in the series.
pickThis book was as marvelous as everybody told me it would be! Captured the feeling of being a kid without pandering or aging them up. Very excited for this series.
so-soA very easy read, you can read this in a day. It is an excellent book for children but not so suited for adults. It did not impact me the same way as the "Wrinkle in Time" series. I think L'Engle is better suited in writing science fiction/fantasy book. I felt like I was reading a diary of my sister. I did not enjoy it that much but I'm still looking forward to the next book.

pick#AprilBookShowers Day 6: #PublishedInThe1960s - I read this novel years ago after falling in love with the Wrinkle In time Quintet. I have yet to read the other novels in this series.
My best friend loves to tell the story about this book...she was in the next room, I had been doggedly trying to read this book and I just had finally reached a point where I had HAD it with L'Engle's nonsense in this. I threw it across the room, shouted "NO ONE wants to meet the Austins!!" and left the book lying where it fell for a good day or so before I picked it up and hid it away until the next book donation day. ? #photoadaynov16
