I’ll give it until Monday morning (my time) but it looks like I’ll be picking a few fiction stories. Is everyone OK with “young adult/fantasy”? I hope so because that’s about all I have brain capacity for.

Clare-Dragonfly · August 14, 2020, 3:45pm

YA fantasy is literally my #1 favorite genre.

LadyDuck · August 16, 2020, 8:46am

I’m impatient. Here’s the new poll.

Tom’s midnight garden, Phillipa Pearce
Ella Enchanted, Gail Levine Carson
Howl’s moving Castle, Diana Wynne Jones
The Wee Free Men, Terry Pratchett

Sorry if any authors name is misspelt.

I’ve been meaning to read Howl’s Moving Castle!

Tom’s Midnight Garden is such a cute book.

Oh Ella Enchanted! I guess I never realized it was a book (I should have known since like 99% of movies were books first) I loved the movie, so I’ll be adding this to my “To Read” list either way.

I can’t choose. I want them all!

katscratch · August 20, 2020, 5:12pm

same!

Clare-Dragonfly · August 20, 2020, 5:25pm

I almost voted for all of them but I have no access to a copy of Tom’s Midnight Garden!

noitsbecky · August 20, 2020, 5:58pm

Bummer. My library system has it. It looks wonderful. Ducky made all good choices!

LadyDuck · August 20, 2020, 11:02pm

I highly recommend your kids read it, Frecks! It is rather relevant to the COVID quarantine.

LadyDuck · August 20, 2020, 11:17pm

Also I put a lot of thought into the list and am preening a lot over here with all this praise. Preen, preen.

OK folks, if everyone is able to get a copy of Howl’s Moving Castle, that’s the book for September!

Candygirl · August 29, 2020, 12:15pm

After missing a few months I’m hopping back in!

HaH · August 29, 2020, 12:22pm

I’m in for this! One of my all-time favourite books, I’m due for a re-read.

(Ella Enchanted is another all-time favourite; we got it out of the library over and over again as kids.)

Marcela · August 30, 2020, 3:11am

I love love love Howl’s! I’m in for this one.

(Can someone remind me how this works again?)

LadyDuck · August 30, 2020, 3:14am

We all grab a copy and read it and chat about it! Uh I actually haven’t participated at all this year so I’m not sure if we want to read at own pace or aim for 1/4 each week?

Candygirl · August 30, 2020, 12:44pm

Got my copy!

Elle · August 30, 2020, 1:17pm

I’m in! I will buy a copy and or rewatch the movie
