A Wrinkle in Time turns fifty this year, and a special commemorative edition is being published. I'm a proud participant in the multi-blog extravaganza--
A Wrinkle in Time: 50 Years, 50 Days, 50 Blogs Celebration!
For 50 days, starting Monday, January 16, 50 different bloggers will be celebrating with original content. On February 2, I'll be talking about the Murry parents...
Here's the full list of blogs taking part!
But in the meantime, Amy (of Amy's Library of Rock) explores the vexing question--"What the heck is a Tesseract, anyway?"

Great links as always. It's good to see so many middle grade books being reviewed. And I enjoyed Anne Nesbit's interview.
ReplyDeletethanks! I'm reading Cabinet of Earths myself right now, and enjoying it!
DeleteI'm devoting a whole series of posts this year to A Wrinkle In Time-- this would be the way to access them all at once: http://rockinlibrarian.livejournal.com/tag/year%20of%20the%20tesseract I only have two up yet-- probably a new one every one or two weeks (the next one won't be until at least later this week), but I'm particularly proud of my last one, because it's possibly the nerdiest thing I have ever written, and I don't feel it's gotten enough love. I'm not sure the next post can live up to it. Which is probably why it's taking me longer to write.
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know! I've put it in the round-up.
DeleteLove that you do this roundup! Good to see so much middle-grade stuff being reviewed.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the links, Charlotte.
ReplyDeleteI love the Wrinkle in Time blog tour--I've been hoping to do a few featured posts myself looking at other people's memories of/reactions to it. It's such a brilliant book.
A great round-up as always, Charlotte!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see A Wrinkle in Time getting the extra attention - I've already had people at my library asking about it.
I've been wondering, Madigan, about that aspect of things. These people of which you speak--had they already read the book? I've assumed that Wrinkle in Time is like Charlotte's Web, a book everyone's read. But what if for the past ten years no one has been reading it? Is the new release going to be a thrilling "new" thing?
DeleteGreat links. Can't wait to explore many more of them!
