I think because our families were similar, I made more connections than others might, but it is a fabulous read no matter what! <br />I'm starting to love the Prydain Chronicles! <br />It will be interesting to hear what everyone thinks of Shadow Scale.Cheriee Weichelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15662398117320256935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2599471237636371761.post-47082796154249404452015-02-24T03:52:47.428-08:002015-02-24T03:52:47.428-08:00The Meaning of Maggie keeps jumping out at me from...The Meaning of Maggie keeps jumping out at me from everyone's lists... maybe it's time to snag it.<br /><br />I LOVE the Prydain Chronicles! <br /><br />Seraphina is probably my favorite book over the past few years. Thankfully, one of my pals managed to grab a copy for me at ALAMW.

I have to get to Kidsbooks to pick up and order (don't know when that will happen given the craziness of the Lunar New Year celebration on Wednesday and Winter Tonic on Thursday. Anyway, if I do, i'll send it home with Bea and you can read it before it get circulating.Cheriee Weichelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15662398117320256935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2599471237636371761.post-69856527870842866252015-02-23T21:49:09.456-08:002015-02-23T21:49:09.456-08:00I had The Meaning of Maggie out from the library b...I had The Meaning of Maggie out from the library but had to return it.

I started with The Black Cauldron, because it became available as a download before the first in the series. At first I was worried that it might not work, but once I got all the characters sorted out, it was fabulous! I love Nye's poetry as well!Cheriee Weichelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15662398117320256935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2599471237636371761.post-6683662988073567722015-02-23T21:24:41.803-08:002015-02-23T21:24:41.803-08:00You are most welcome Melanie!

It would be interesting to listen to the language as an audiobook. I might read Shadow Scale and then try listening to Seraphina again. I think some books, like The Raven Boys for example, are just better listened to.

There is a hint of that, but there is also so much more depth to the character and the story. This is my first go with Lloyd Alexander. I admit that I am feeling a bit of "Where have you been all my life?"Cheriee Weichelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15662398117320256935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2599471237636371761.post-88580737138375407022015-02-23T21:19:21.314-08:002015-02-23T21:19:21.314-08:00I'm glad you loved Maggie, but then, how could...I'm glad you loved Maggie, but then, how could we not?

I'vealways thought it would make for a great film - I was just riveted by all the books. I haven't read Seraphina but now it's on my radar, thanks to you. I borrowed The Turtle of Oman but didn't get a chance to read it - hopefully I get to for our upcoming reading theme - I love Naomi Shihab Nye's poetry.GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2599471237636371761.post-73419795828615952092015-02-23T14:23:37.913-08:002015-02-23T14:23:37.913-08:00Of the books you've written about and I've...Of the books you've written about and I've read, I completely agree! The Meaning of Maggie was wonderful, What to do With an Idea was okay, Jennifer Nielson tends to be too violent for me...based on all that I ordered Mogie.

Glad you noted the issues in the middle, because I think that was my problem too. I did read the book aloud in my Digital Literacy class as our final activity of the semester, and I loved how it synthesized so much of our thinking and sent the students off all fired up to change the world! Mogie sounds like a tearjerker! And oh my gosh, I didn't realize Shadow Scale had been published! Seraphina was also one of my top 2013 reads. I think I want to reread it before I read the sequel. Maybe on audio? I think it would be a good read-aloud.Elisabeth Ellingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00747914394861199796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2599471237636371761.post-88328717144466322262015-02-23T08:57:43.578-08:002015-02-23T08:57:43.578-08:00I love the Tashjian My Life series, and still love...I love the Tashjian My Life series, and still love the Prydain Chronicles.
