Re: Summer Reading Challenge 2021 (HHB) Sharing Thread
I'm enjoying all your thoughts. @Ariel: It is interesting to wonder if growing up between two boys (and losing her mother) made Aravis less interested in "girl" things. My friend told me her daughter is turning out to be a bit of a tom-boy, possibly because she has a big brother she looks ...

Re: Summer Reading Challenge 2021 (HHB) Sharing Thread
Yesterday was the last day with my parents so I fell behind. But I caught up on the flight back. @Ren. I love your dancing Aravis picture and especially how the skirt flares @Ariel. I was also struck by the phrase "right of standing on his face in his shoes" suggesting just how high his ra...

Re: Summer Reading Challenge 2021 (HHB) Sharing Thread
Thanks for sharing everyone! Lovely pictures, Ren! Happy, I agree that this book starts out with so much hope in how all the major characters are changed in a second.

Re: Summer Reading Challenge 2021 (HHB) Sharing Thread
That's lovely, Swan. Powerful thoughts and expresses well in the poem. I can't believe it's been 10 years since I last read HHB!! Since it was the first Summer Challenge we did, it's the longest since I read it last. Kinda crazy when I think about the life changes that can happen in a decade. Ch 1-2...

Re: The LotGK's motive
Good point, Corintur, and welcome to the TLC forum. I guess at the time when Lewis was writing, other planets, worlds and universes were equally remote in the popular imagination. So he could transfer the idea of our world having the potential to contaminate other sentient worlds in his different ty...

It was me! (Reveal Thread)
Hope you enjoyed Secret Santa this year. Giving is over so its time to reveal who you were giving gifts to. If you posted in the elf thread you can reveal it here too. And you can thank your Father Christmas again "in person".
