I have always loved her books and I am reading "A Wrinkle In Time" with my boys right now. I had loved the series as a child and have read many of her adult books also. She had such an interesting way of weaving science, art, and Christianity into her stories that drew me in. My secret fantasy was to grow up to be Mrs. Murry in "Wrinkle." She was raising children, puttering in the lab, mixing the domestic life with a passion for her work. She had it all.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17470564337562063124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-28710833384669935472007-09-08T12:03:00.000-04:002007-09-08T12:03:00.000-04:00I noticed this sad fact late, also...Mari-NanciI noticed this sad fact late, also...<BR/><BR/>Mari-Nancismilnsighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17207943167502354530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-17581780889660500162007-09-08T09:29:00.000-04:002007-09-08T09:29:00.000-04:00I will miss her tremendously - I wish she had writ...I will miss her tremendously - I wish she had written more than the eighty plus books she did gift us with.

I love sitting in my room reading book when the weather outside is gloomy, yet it doesn't happen very often, I mean that it's really rare I have some spare time to sit and read novels...<BR/>ciao from Rome<BR/>freddieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-42754074058583100412007-09-07T23:12:00.000-04:002007-09-07T23:12:00.000-04:00Truly a sad thing.

I saw the previews at the theatre last year and thought to myself, "That's one movie I'll never bother seeing." It looked WAY too weird.<BR/>LOL.<BR/>Then last spring a friend mentioned she had rented it and loved it. She warned me it wasn't your typical movie but she gave it such glowing reviews that when I saw it later at Blockbuster I took the plunge myself. I LOVED it. I even watched it twice before returning it-something I never (okay, very rarely) do.<BR/>I think you would enjoy it.<BR/>joanna :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-19026788582847641212007-09-07T20:30:00.000-04:002007-09-07T20:30:00.000-04:00Thanks to you - I have read Ms. L'Engle's books - ...Thanks to you - I have read Ms. L'Engle's books - and I loved what I've read so far!!
