Got very animated, talking about Gower to my non-Medievalist sister, who told me I scared away a pair of tourists with my impassioned narrative 😂

My favorites are when the parents email me, saying perhaps their child didn’t even take the book out, and then I respond with, well, regardless, we’ll have to charge you for it, and the book mysteriously appears in the book return overnight 😂

Thank you!😍 The kids loved it, and we raffled off Aslan the Lion between all the kids in the school. The winner doesn’t know yet, but they will certainly have happy holidays with Aslan in the house!

I’m sorry your day was crappy! Happy to hear your husband took such good care of you.💛

I think I can still recite all the Dark is Rising prophecies by heart!

“When the dark comes rising,
Six shall turn it back….”

Greenwitch was perhaps my favorite (apart from the Dark is Rising), but I was also passionate about The Grey King.

I read Charmed Life by Diana Wynne Jones so many times, I don’t know if any other kids in my library got to read it! 😍 The Chrestomanci books and Eva Ibbotson’s Which Witch were among the first books I bought for our school library!
