It's just really fun and definitely a quick read (and that's coming from a slow reader). I lovelovelove C.S. Lewis--just everything he wrote! If you haven't read his sci-fi trilogy, you should. The first book is called Out of the Silent Planet. I haven't read any of your other suggestions, but they all sound really good, thanks.Reading in the Darkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13812641480668564435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1384181549956914712.post-88885475121511489992015-04-25T01:06:49.400-05:002015-04-25T01:06:49.400-05:00All great suggestions!

And you're right; I love the alternate perspectives of the child's view versus the adult's. There is always good stuff to be found in kids' books.Reading in the Darkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13812641480668564435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1384181549956914712.post-41620285144797333242015-04-25T01:04:25.402-05:002015-04-25T01:04:25.402-05:00Nice suggestions!

I've read some of those but am still working on the others. :) I think I've heard of all of them except Half Magic and The Mother-Daughter Book Club.Reading in the Darkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13812641480668564435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1384181549956914712.post-43738069918871507352015-04-21T13:50:19.589-05:002015-04-21T13:50:19.589-05:00It sounds like great fun!

I've had it on my radar for a while, looks like I'll have to move it up closer to the top. :)<br /><br />I enjoy a lot of YA, here's a few I suggest:<br />The Chronicles of Narnia by CS Lewis - fabulous!<br />The Near Witch by Victoria Schwab - historical and the imagery is very vivid<br />The Agency series by Y.S. Lee - if you enjoy historicals and mysteries, very well written<br />The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater - just finished this one recently and while it's fantasy, it's not really a typical fantasy story. I just really, really loved the island and the water horses and Puck especially.Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09590701834142754842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1384181549956914712.post-66471320895766394812015-04-20T19:33:17.625-05:002015-04-20T19:33:17.625-05:00This is interesting, I think I should try reading ...This is interesting, I think I should try reading this book. I love children's books, they always have something an adult could think more of. That's why I made a project of reading children's literature on my blog.<br />You may try Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Books or Coraline (actually, I love all his books, for children and adults), they're a little bit dark, but also sweet in their own way.<br />My all time favorites are The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery, Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery, and the Narnia series.<br />I like Diana Wynne Jones' too, though I have only read some of her books. Oh, and Kate DiCamillo. And, basically, I explore the Newbery medalists.bzeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03498859173435579196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1384181549956914712.post-18729767793601497682015-04-20T07:01:59.904-05:002015-04-20T07:01:59.904-05:00I love junior and YA fiction!
