A Brief Return to the Year of the Tesseract so as to Share a Review With You

The Madeleine L'Engle fangroup on FB and Twitter just shared this lovely review and defense of A Wrinkle In Time as a Frequently Challenged and/or Banned Book. It's made me nostalgic for the Year of the Tesseract. But there's no time limit on analyzing great books, now, is there? I don't know about you, but now I want to go back and reread all my posts in my Year of the Tesseract series JUST BECAUSE.

I'm not being weirdly self-promoting, here. I'm just genuinely THIS IS SO FUN -ing.

Thank you!

Thank you for sharing my review! So glad it could reach fellow fans of such an amazing book and author. Stay tuned for a subsequent review of the movie adaptation and the second book.

Thank you for sharing this! It's a lovely, meaty review. And the comment about LeGuin - I read "Wizard of Earthsea" as a child and don't remember much, but am listening to it now. Boy howdy. I keep waiting for it to get less sexist, but so far, it's appallingly laden with only men can do real magic, and women's magic is not as good, plus women are inherently duplicitous.

Maybe I should be re-listening to "A Wrinkle in Time" instead.
