I enjoyed reading this and I'm looking forward to diving into your favorite books with you. You've introduced me to so many good ones; over the course of 100 entries I'm sure you'll be discussing ones that I've never heard of, and I'm married to you!

But now I need to go be mindfully domestic about the cat box. *sobs*

this was one of my childhood books, too! In fact, I just reread it when I was at my parents over the holidays and enjoyed it just as much. And yes, those were the moments that stuck with me--Juniper and Wise Child working around her home--it all seemed so peaceful and purposeful. I never read the rest of the series, though.

That's so cool! I never meet people who've read this book!

I haven't finished the series either, TBH. I read Juniper, but it didn't hook me the same way Wise Child did. At some point, I'd like to finish the last book of the trilogy, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.
