new on my bookshelf: madeleine l'engle!

I don't quite remember exactly what it was that made me want to buy the rest of the Time Quintet by Madeleine L'Engle. I think it was a blog post by another book blogger.
Anyway, I read the first book of this series - A Wrinkle in Time, last year I think it was, and loved it, but didn't really have any inclination to go out and get the rest.
But I have them now!

A Wind in the Door came in the mail a couple days before the rest, and I immediately jumped straight into it.  Poor Charles Wallace is ill!

After my current Wuthering Heights Journey series is over (which will be soon), the next post will probably be a "my thoughts on.." for A Wind in the Door.

You can find my (gushing) review of A Wrinkle in Time (The Time Quintet, #1) here.

My thoughts:

This is what we, as book-lovers, thirst for. 

That magical, wondrous moment where faith conquers fear and peril reaps a happy ending.

The words we soak up from the page and into our minds and more importantly our hearts - those are what transform a story into something magical, something even great minds struggle to fathom, something better... something heavenly.
