Book Discussion: Wrinkle in Time

-


The library ladies finally made time in their busy schedules to meet up and discuss a Wrinkle in Time, so make sure to check your device for the latest episode. We're really excited to share our thoughts, ranting and semi-on-point tangents about this book and the author. Since Jade read the original text and Gina listened to it, I decided to read the graphic novel so we could bring a few different perspectives into our discussion. With references to The Wizard of Oz and a crush Sarah won't let go of who starred in the Disney Channel Original Movie of A Ring of Endless Light (this story takes place within the same world as A Wrinkle in Time) Like we promised we have a few links for you to enjoy. See you in the stacks!

What's On Sarah's Bookshelf?  Horrorstor  by Grady Hendricks: You know that scene in  I Am Legend  when Will Smith's dog runs into the abandoned building and Will goes in after Samantha (His German Shepard),  you see  zombies all huddling together  and you want to scream because it's creepy af. That is what I kept envisioning while reading this story. It's a combination of  I Am Legend  meets the recent television adaptation of the  The Mist in a store that resembles an  Ikea . Ghost haunting in a furniture store? Count me in!  Bitch Planet  by Kelly Sue DeConnick: The first book in a series of adult graphic novels,  Bitch Planet  focuses on exploitation and women in an off-planet prison. The narrative moves back and forth through time, so we learn how each character is arrested and their experience within the prison. Although I quit after a few seasons, it's basically  Orange is the New Black  but infinitely better.   The Yellow Wallpaper  by Charlotte
