Moonphased, thank you for visiting me here!! :D Since you love A Wrinkle in Time, you should totally read When You Reach Me, by Rebecca Stead. It was the 2010 Newbery winner, and it's an amazing homage to A Wrinkle in Time.

Katie, oh my goodness, I haven't watched that miniseries in ages, but now I want to! I mean, in addition to Jonathan Crombie, Megan Follows was such a perfect Anne. Really, the whole cast... and the scenery... swoon! Okay, how fun is this-- I just found Megan Follows' audition for Anne on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBA1udq8ZNQ

Oh, Meg and Calvin! I think when I first read the book, I didn't notice it as much since I wasn't quite as into romance as I am now (LOL), but going back now and reading it as an adult, the innocent romance between them is so sweet. :)

You know, to this day, "A Wrinkle In Time" is still one of my favorite books, ever. :) Thanks for posting and reminding me that it's also a good book to read on Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentimes Day to you!! <3
