Northern Lights | 
pickMy edition is called The Northern Lights which Litsy doesn‘t seem to have.
One of the few books I have actually re-read this re-read is so that I can watch season 3 of the TV adaptation and actually follow what is happening 🤣🤣
Still love this story and Lyra
Northern Lights
First thing that came to my mind with #Lights was the first book in the excellent ‘His Dark Materials‘ Trilogy by. Philip Pullman and the start of Lyra‘s journey. This book was also published under the title of The Golden Compass. Definitely divine!

Day 178.
Here I will note 365 books (or as many as I will have before I get tired) that have shaped my taste in literature. No explanations, no reviews. Just the cover of the book.
I do not challenge anyone. You are all welcome to take part.
pickIt‘s a celebration of the sad & beautiful moments that take you from childhood to being an adult. The adventure is captivating and the theme of institutional power unchecked resonates. Lyra uncovers mysteries around her while navigating her way towards being the adult her world needs.

pickAnother classic I should have read earlier. I love Lyra and this magical, complex world Pullman concocted. Pure genius! The audiobook was brilliant.

Day 24: Close up
I pick the Golden compass by Philip Pullman. These are some of the best books. 🐻🦊🦎❄🐿🔪
pickBrilliant. A wonderful adventure story about a girl who hates her parents, a mother who loves her dearly, and a father who just wants to kill God.

🎧 Big Summer - done. Enjoyed this, though the ending was rushed.
🎧 Tuesdays with Morrie - done. #bookspin and a pleasant read.
🎧 The Library Book - starting today. #doublespin
📚 The Golden Compass - 77% done. Enjoying it, but taking so long to read.
📚 A Storm of Swords - 78% done. I'm picking this one back up (almost a year later) during the long car ride to my brother's graduation this week.

🎧 The Last Time I Lied - done. Loved this book! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
📚 The Golden Compass - 75% done. Loving this one too. I watched the first season of the show, so I know what to expect.
🎧 The Knockout Queen- up next. Reading it because of Litsy, so let's see if I actually like it.
pickInitially found this quite complicated and hard to understand, but I was soon drawn in. Definitely recommend if you enjoy reading fantasy.
pickLyra finds herself on an adventure to the north to discover what is dust.

Making good progress in the tagged book. It's sooo good 👍☕️
The book is hiding my child playing with a hairdryer; yes, I'm watching him like a hawk 😂

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description or reason for wanting to read the book. Some are old and some will be new. Don't judge me - I have a lot of books.
Day 247
Books in a series will be posted together, instead of individual posts for each.

• Pretty much the only book I'm reading right now!! •

This book has grabbed me and won't let go. I love that feeling!!

We had started watching His Dark Materials on HBO Max and I remember watching the movie years ago. So I decided to read the books.
#TookeyToles does not care if I use her as a book rest while I read, as long as she can use my lap as her bed.😔🤦🏻♀️ cats these days...😆

so-soI didn't read this as a kid and maybe I would have enjoyed it more if I had. Although I don't understand why this is considered a children's book...
It was a little too technical for me, the story felt very slow, too much of political banter and there were no funny moments in this book...
I have bigger expectations for Book Two ;) Now - watching it on screen 🎬
pickI still quite like this book even reading as an adult which is nice to learn. It is still just as dark as I remember but also like? More overtly religious. It‘s not that I remember it as less religious I just thought it was slightly more subtle and it is decidedly not.
Still baffles me that this book is considered 9-12 though
Starting another adventure! 😉😄
Time to get back to this one 😍 its time to finish all of my half read books
pickWinter insomnia reading. This is my son s copy from age 16. Now 32! I saved it because I thought it was a classic read. Excellent brown page reading in the dead of January nights. #brownpages #classic #lyrabellaqua #latetotheparty #trilogy #phillippullman
Because I really needed more books on my currently reading list >.< I watched the first two episodes of the new show and had to break out my old copy to give it a reread
pickSo I never finished this series and I wanted to before I watch the HBO series. This first book was just as good as I remembered. However, I can't say the same for the audiobook. It was a full cast and the woman doing Lyra's voice was like nails on a chalkboard. I almost bailed. I recommend the print version. Also, I'm counting this as a winter read due to the North Pole setting and the armored polar bears. 26 pts #WinterGames2020 #MerryReaders
pickBorrowed this from the library after a discussion with a coworker about how I had never read the whole trilogy... I thought the full cast audiobook was very well done! I've been enjoying some #audiocrochet time after the kids finally went to sleep tonight
Soooo from left to right

Two of them are gifts, I bought only the Golden Compass at a very very low price 😍
Sono happy!!
I am somehow 28 and have never read or watched the adaptations of this series so I'm joining in a book club rear for it this month and then hoping to try the show this month once I'm on holidays.
pickI loved the audio version of this first book of the trilogy. While I‘d read it ages ago, listening to the cast was a delightful way to explore the story again. Like @Jas16 said, it was a lovely way to keep away from the news and was a balm to my nerves. Lyra is a wonderful heroine.
pickLess than 30 minutes to my highlight of 2020 series 2 of #HisDarkMaterials
I found it comforting to visit Lyra and friends again and can‘t wait to see where series 2 takes us.
The book was as good as I remembered and this time I noticed things I missed first time round when all that mattered was finding out what happened.
pickA friend of mine decided to read this series for the first time and I decided to join him since I have been meaning to reread the original trilogy before I begin on the newer books. So glad I did because this book is what has kept me sane this week and prevented me from breaking my phone with my constant updating of the news feeds. I love Lyra so much.
Anyone else excited for season 2 of His Dark Materials coming to the UK next weekend. Something to look forward to in the year that is 2020
