Announcing June #EarthSea2018 Readalong
Presented to you by @AvidReader25 and me! Here, there and maybe Twitter? I suspect this readalong will take place on Litsy more than anywhere else…
It is high time I finally read a book by this esteemed author. How about YOU?
Pull up a chair (laptop), and tell me your favorite book by Ursula-KLG
-or-
if you are like me, can I ask why haven’t you yet?
My own answer to that is multilayered. I have no good excuse and I insist that I haven’t avoided her. It’s that I have a ton of books on my tbr; how does one choose the “right time”? When an author is known for lots and lots of titles, which book of hers do I choose? So, I am grateful for Melissa for suggesting this author, this book, this time.
To gripe a bit, I do blame my education in that I don’t recall many women authors being suggested to me. I read The Hobbit in 5th grade. Why did not someone suggest I might enjoy Ursula K Le Guin?
Let’s do this!
The first Earthsea book is one of the ones I was thinking about when I first made the declaration that started my blog–that necromancy never pays, and literature shows this.
OH! You are SO right. (I ended up reading the whole book last weekend. Oops)
She is most definitely an author I need to read and which I have unfortunately not done so yet. One day. When my husband gets that big pay raise and I can stop working…
It was a very quick read. 😉 But I hear ya.
I can’t believe I never read her either! I’m halfway through and need to find the second book.
Yes, it read SO FAST! (I finished over the weekend.)
Just posted my thoughts on the first book on my blog!
