read every book by Madeleine L'Engle 2 years ago

I read the “Wrinkle In Time” series when I was a youngster, and they absolutely captivated me. Those books were my equivalent to my kids’ “Series of Unfortunate Events” and “Harry Potter” series.

We don’t have libraries in this country like I had in the United States, so this goal is not as easy to accomplish as I’d like.

After looking at her entire body of work, I’m thinking that perhaps I ought to divide this goal into several smaller ones.

Here are the books in my goal:

Kairos
* First-generation (Murry) (Time Quartet)
o A Wrinkle in Time (1962) (Newbery Award Winner) ISBN 0-374-38613-7
o A Wind in the Door (1973) ISBN 0-374-38443-6
o A Swiftly Tilting Planet (1978) ISBN 0-374-37362-0
o Many Waters (1986) ISBN 0-374-34796-4

  • Second-generation (O’Keefe)
