Glenstorm: How is P&P going? I had a chance to read some more today, which was quite lovely. Of course.

I'm on chapter 20-something. I'm really falling in love all over again . Please tell me you're not done yet!

Yes, sweeet, I thought that Ever sounded odd but that's really odd. I don't think I'll bother either!

I have read At the Back of the North Wind, The Princess and the Goblin as well as The Lost Princess, which is a kind of parable. I've read lots of his short stories like The Day Boy and the Night Girl and the Light Princess. I have a collection of them which I was given years ago. Some of them are very strange, but I love how the characters in them change.

Has anyone read his other books, like The Baronet's Song and The Shepherd's Castle?

I really like The Shadow Children series by Margaret Peterson Haddix! it's so awesome! has anyone else read it?

I read the books a while. I loved that series, but I remember it being dark and disturbing . I'd probably read it again...sometime...I like her style of writing...and her stories .

I've read that series. Margaret Peterson Haddix's books are usually pretty good.

^yeah they're very intense and gripping. I read another book by her but I can't remember the title. Something like "the house on the gulf"...I think...

I've read two or three of her works and always found Margaret P. Haddix's work to be too depressing and disturbing to attract me much, sorry.
I did like the premise of Running Out of Time, though.

^I have yet to read that. I've been meaning to for a while . I'll get to it someday...

Almost done with P&P!

Adeona: I love Running Out Of Time! another book of Haddix's that's awesome is Double Identity ! that one is so awesome!

Hi everyone on the reading thread! I hope you all don't mind me jumping in here! I can't even begin to comment on all that went before! But I hope to keep up in future.

Welcome and welcome! I do hope you join us often!

I'm really falling in love all over again . Please tell me you're not done yet!

Now that you're almost done, I can say that yes, I finished it the other day. (And then you can say "I asked you not to tell me that!" and I will say "Sorry about that, Chief". )

That was definitely the reaction I felt when I read the book again, it was simply wonderful. Something that words find hard to describe, but I rather liked the feeling, all in all.

I'm currently reading Shirley by Charlotte Bronte, and rather liking it. (Which leads me to think that I will like Jane Eyre better next time I read it) I especially like the character of Caroline Helstone, and her relationship with the title character reminds me somewhat of Molly and Cynthia in Wives and Daughters. I don't mind any similarities, though, and I think Shirley is a more settled character than Cynthia was at times.

The other day! I thought we were supposed to read it in ten days, which would mean finishing it tommorrow!

I love it even better this time around . After, I'm done, I think I'm going to try more Austen, or some other old literature .

One of my favorite books is Ella Enchanted. I thought it was charming and well written, but I forgot who wrote it. I haven't read it lately, so maybe I should pick it up at the library.

^Gail Carson Levine. I really liked that book last time I read it. Really gripping and just lovable .

Yes! Ella is one of my favorite heroines from any book! And I like the love story--its affectionate but not sappy.

Yes! Precisely my thoughts. I LOVE the last chapter.
