And while I was never a fan of the Oprah craze, the woman can act so..ya

And the three ladies look SO AMAZING

*zips back in*

I remember reading that book as a kid, and getting chilled at the scene with all the kids bouncing the balls at exactly the same time. Guess I was old enough to be freaked by a lack of individuality

YES

such a good book

All the L'Engle works are.

"By the way, my dear, there is such a thing as a tesseract" ... talk about a beautifully written 'call to adventure'

Wrinkle, followed by A Wind in the Door and A Swiftly Tilting Planet, and backed up with other books that include cameos from the Trio.

YES. OMG YES.

Hey, BrekkeP, get in on this convo.

I'm here. I'm cranky about Doctor spoilers (not Catnik specifically).

chuckle You want me to spill my connection, Shades?

(Trio = Charles Wallace, Meg, & Calvin.)

I do if you do, BrekkeP.

Oh?

Actually? After Wrinkle? My favorite is Many Waters, with the twins.

Oh, Sandy and Denny as I recall? Yes.

Yup! With Noah!

L'Engle was a friend of the family, though I only got to meet her personally a few times. She sent the best Christmas cards. And she helped me with a project for my Production and Direction class in college.

Sandy and Denys.

Ooo... awesome

Wow!

All of the L'Engle books are intricately connected...even the Austin books are connected to the Murray books.

So jealous. Love her so much.

Hm. Camden is 10.

...I think she needs...

She was really cool. And two big Llywellen (sp?) Setters in her office...very waggy dogs.

awesome.

She has waggy dogs? well, then she was good people 😉

Exactly! And she served proper tea.

I loved her use of Sanskrit. I mean.... SANSKRIT.

Agreed about the beautifully written call to adventure, Mr. D.

Tangentially, I would love to see a well-done movie version of the Deryni series.

I am not as well read in her works as the rest of you, but I remember vividly that one. It was just the thing to turn some one into a protagognist 😉

Yup!

I would love to see King Kelson done right

loved that kid "...I maybe crowned tomorrow, but I rule today!" Free morgan, drop mic!

The Deryni calls for a whole 10-15 year plan for development and such. *L* YES, D&co! YES!!

ALL the L'Engle!

Now I have a friend who crushed on Morgan hard

Hm. Buy my niece ONE book, or all? Need equivalent gift for 8yo nephew...

Dernyi might be better as a Game of Thrones type TV series, IF it had the right casting

Deryni is definitely NOT a single movie.

Buy all, give the set as a shared pressie.

I think Keegan is a bit young yet

Easy characters to love...Kelson my fav, but Duncan wasn't far behind. And yes, Morgan was a bad ass

Hey, Catnik...how's that coffee? 🙂

Camden has discovered RL Stine... well, she's reading

Coming along.
