My reading rarely lines up very much with others!

I started The Borrowers Afloat as a young thing but didn't really get into it; it was the rare book I left unfinished. I don't know how I came across a copy, or why it was that one and not the first book in the series, but there you have it.

huh! That one was less interesting than the first ones... but I adore tiny things so I loved all of them.

I'm so pleased to meet someone else who's read The Velvet Room. I reread that book so many times as a kid, particularly the diary section.

Meanwhile, it appears I have a few books to add to me to-read list!

it's been so many years, all I can remember is the feeling of that room and how much I wanted to be in one like it.

i clicked a few, but the ticky boxes kept acting as links and sending me to the amazon sites for the books :(

i remember and really liked "the girl with the silver eyes" and i think it's pretty cool that someone else has read that book :)

oh no, sorry about that! Should have left a space or character before the link, I'll try to remember for next time.

I ADORED "the girl with the silver eyes" and am so excited that others have read it! it's so odd and interesting to me that that is one of the books that I share with the most people, despite the fact that the author isn't that well-known. I feel like it has little echoes in each person who read it, just enough to sense. So magical.

I've read quite a few of these books, especially Ascension, Black Feminist Thought, A Gift from the Mikado, and the Emily trilogy - quite an impressive list you have here :D

and quite an impressive overlap! that makes me really happy! *beams*
