A Swiftly Tilting Planet Discussion

I really enjoyed reading this book. All of her books in the Time series have been wonderful, so far as I have read.

1. If any haven't read the first 2 books, did you find any of the allusions to the first two books confusing, or were you able to stay with the story?

Having read the first 2 books, I didn't find the references to the first two books confusing. I also don't think that it would be confusing to someone who hasn't read them. They were there but you didn't need to know the stories to understand this one. It could stand as it's own.

2. How do you feel about the main premise of the book, Charles Wallace's search for the 'might have been', the one thing he could change in the past to completely alter the future?

I think it is totally possible to have one moment where you could venture down one path or another and completely change your future. Would it be cool to be able to go back and change something in the past, definitely, but I would have to be rock bottom bad to do that. I'd be afraid to do that now, I really like my life and the choices I made led me here, so I wouldn't want to change anything.

3. Anybody else have questions? My head is still stuffed up and I can't think.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

PS, Lisa, I think we should do an open call for whomever wants to host. I know I will need a couple months 'off' for my move. Anybody up for February?

Merry Christmas to All

Hi all - Just wanted to say Merry Christmas. Also, I was wondering if we have any kind of schedule for the year yet? I know we are taking January off, but who has Feb and so on? Just trying to get a heads up on when I go next :).

And Cat, I loved the book for this month and look forward to discussing it :).

Merry Christmas!

I just thought I would wish you all a merry christmas. I have really enjoyed the opportunity to read and discuss wonderful books with everyone. Thanks!

December Book

Sorry I am slacking. I am the December host this month and I think a good book to read is A Swiftly Tilting Planet by Madeleine L'Engle. It is the third in her Time Quintet but the books for the most part stand on their own. I started it last night and it starts with Thanksgiving dinner so I think it is seasonally appropriate. Sorry for no picture, I will do that later. I'm doing this at work. :O

I will probably post the questions sometime before Christmas, my December is shaping up to be a busy one and I will have company over through New Year's.

I hope everyone enjoys the book!!

December?

I forgot what are we reading for December, I know it is in an old post but didn't want to search through everything and figured this would be a quicker way. Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving.
