If it's any help, I enjoyed the second one, didn't really like the third, was meh about the fourth, but UTTERLY loved the fifth. It might take awhile to work up to the quality of the first one, but it was 100% worth it for me!Chloe the MovieCritichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02200752624092560917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354853575539461524.post-89788349138562906462022-01-11T13:27:52.239-07:002022-01-11T13:27:52.239-07:00We tried reading the second Incorrigible Children ...We tried reading the second Incorrigible Children book and just couldn't get into it.

I sometimes feel that I'm just a parrot repeating myself, so it's good to know that you enjoy it! :-)<br /><br />That's so fun! A few years ago I took a whole workshop about English country dances that was a blast, but we never learned the schottische! I would totally love to try it. I have yet to read Pippi Longstocking, but if she can do it then I can, right? Are you planning on continuing the Incorrigibly Children series?<br /><br />Those are both so fun and fancy free, Hamlette! I think your kids might love them, too. <i>The Ickabog</i> gets surprisingly deep which is awesome for an MG book!Chloe the MovieCritichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02200752624092560917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354853575539461524.post-87811336373128204352022-01-09T13:19:36.200-07:002022-01-09T13:19:36.200-07:00Megan, you HAVEN'T read Howl's Moving Cast...Megan, you HAVEN'T read Howl's Moving Castle?? This must be remedied as soon as possible if not sooner!<br /><br />There we go, baby steps until you read it. It's not the shortest book in the world but North and South engaged me the entire time so I was never bored. Which is speaking a lot for classics because as much as I love them, I usually fall asleep in one part...<br /><br />Kate DiCamillo's books are always a treat! She's the one author I make special time to spend with. Oct. 16th!<br /><br />This is over a month late, but thank you so much! I'm always thankful for blogging friends! :DChloe the MovieCritichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02200752624092560917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354853575539461524.post-46625586703835610812022-01-09T13:16:40.219-07:002022-01-09T13:16:40.219-07:00Tags are my favorite thing to pass onto other and ...Tags are my favorite thing to pass onto other and you seemed like an ideal candidate. ;)<br /><br />I didn't know you had read TGWDtM! Then again, you've read everything... It's funny that that book started with my younger sister, then me, then finally my older sister this year!<br /><br />It's been ages since I've read both of those, but I have great memories to go with them. I think a friend gave Shadow Spinner to my sister and I got The Magician's Elephant from the library, so I tend to not buy things, too. But I still love bookstores. ;)<br /><br />Really? You never heard of it? I read it each week as the chapters came out in April-July 2020 and had a blast. Now I want a copy of my own because I've heard they added illustrations!Chloe the MovieCritichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02200752624092560917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354853575539461524.post-59359655851426825932021-11-24T14:18:32.062-07:002021-11-24T14:18:32.062-07:00I'm not at all tired of hearing you talk about...I'm not at all tired of hearing you talk about <i>North and South</i>. Keep it up.<br /><br />I read the first Incorrigible Children book aloud to my kids, and ever since, my husband and I have been fascinated by the Shottisch. We've even discussed learning to dance it, especially since Pippi Longstocking also dances it. That means it must be a very good dance indeed, don't you think?<br /><br />I still haven't read <i>Howl's Moving Castle</i> or <i>The Ickabog</i>, but I want to!Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354853575539461524.post-68678706004011111182021-11-23T18:03:05.791-07:002021-11-23T18:03:05.791-07:00I MUST read Howl's Moving Castle. *adds it to ...I MUST read Howl's Moving Castle. *adds it to the TBR*<br /><br />Oh also North and South has been on my unofficial list for a long time, hasn't it? *adds it to the official list* <br /><br />And Kate DiCamillo's books listed here look yummy.

It looks like a fun one. :)<br /><br />Oooh, The Girl Who Drank the Moon is such a good one! <br /><br />I've never read Shadow Spinner, but I did see it at the used book store the other day...I didn't buy it, but I thought about it! ;) Oh, and I saw the Magician's Elephant, too, but I didn't buy that one, either. XD Maybe a different time.<br /><br />The Ickabog wasn't even on my radar! I'll have to look into it...Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05921781363788196695noreply@blogger.com
