I just love words and language, and once we had coined the word "Logonaut" it seemed a shame not to use it every chance we got! :)Katie TheLogonautshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01692992719352402255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722037294375418886.post-72243755105790028022015-06-23T09:51:13.029-05:002015-06-23T09:51:13.029-05:00Interstellar Cinderella did have some great art wo...Interstellar Cinderella did have some great art work. <br /><br />I am really excited (and nervous) about Teachers Write too!

(I think I lasted a week before I put in the library request, ha.)<br /><br />I agree with you about Nielsen's series. I thought the first book was pretty decent but the next two mainly annoyed me. I read The Dark is Rising series several years back, and they did not strike me at the time as much as I had hoped.Katie TheLogonautshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01692992719352402255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722037294375418886.post-39992876846472896992015-06-23T01:50:12.862-05:002015-06-23T01:50:12.862-05:00Hi there Katie.

I have the entire set of the Earthsea series, and practicallymost of LeGuin's novels, but I haven't even started on them yet, because I just know that I would fall in love with them so much. Do you ever have tha kind of dilemma? I didn't enjoy Nielsen's novels as much as I thought I would. Have you read Susan Cooper's The Dark is Rising yet? I've read many great reviews about this series as well. :)GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722037294375418886.post-40743230553903546662015-06-15T20:58:09.461-05:002015-06-15T20:58:09.461-05:00I love Leguin.

Because I love Enemy Pie, I will have to find a copy of Never Say a Mean Word Again: a tale from Medieval Spain and check it out.

I'm usually not a fan of rhyming either, but I thought it worked pretty well in that story. But I totally agree with you that the rhyme worked in Little Roja Riding Hood. I felt like I was listening to a hip-hop song. It had great bounce and swag. :) Beth S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06944635942712994937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722037294375418886.post-10639339071458457932015-06-15T09:56:19.304-05:002015-06-15T09:56:19.304-05:00Lots of Kate Messner on your list!

I love her Ranger series, looking forward to the next one. I signed up for Teachers Write too, makes me a bit nervous!<br />Interstellar Cinderella was really fun, right?
