I just started reading these out of curiosity. They are a fascinating tale. We just added the full set to our collection.

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis is a fantasy novel for children, and it’s the first published book in The Chronicles of Narnia series.

The story begins during World War II when four siblings — Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy — are sent to the countryside for safety. While exploring the house, Lucy finds a wardrobe that leads to a magical land called Narnia.

Narnia is under the rule of the evil White Witch, who has cast a spell that makes it always winter but never Christmas. Lucy meets a faun named Mr. Tumnus, who tells her about the Witch’s cruelty. At first, Edmund joins the Witch, tempted by promises of power and sweets, but he later regrets it.

The children eventually meet Aslan, a great lion who is the true king of Narnia. Aslan sacrifices himself to save Edmund but comes back to life because of a deeper magic. With Aslan’s help, the children fight against the Witch, defeat her, and free Narnia from her curse.

The children become kings and queens of Narnia and rule for many years until they return to the real world, where no time has passed.

The book blends adventure, good vs. evil, forgiveness, and Christian symbolism. It’s magical, emotional, and timeless.

The Incredible Kindness of Paper
Evelyn Skye

Thanks for the copy.

Have you ever had the right book fall into your lap at the exact right moment? I loved that this one showed up to remind me of the kindness of others. It was just a delightful read that lifted my spirits or maybe even my soul. Reminded me of those long ago Hallmark movies with the heartfelt stories.

It is overly sweet and full of chance meetings and coincidences but it also hopeful and inspirational.

I’m always a fan of second chances. In love and in life. Their grumpy sunshine pairing had Oliver quite the pessimist and Chloe a little Pollyanna bordering on naive but they were made for each other.

I loved that she made origami roses with sayings that made it to the person that needed to “hear” what was written in the rose. I adored the chapters about those that received them.

This is a must read for a moment when you need a book to feel like a hug. You won’t be disappointed.
