For our young minds, it was incredible to travel to far-off places and times with our friends Annie and Jack–and learn a few things along the way. The Magic Tree House series launched our journey towards becoming voracious readers. Osborne’s stories not only took us on incredible adventures – from a 19th century twister in the United States to ancient Greece and beyond – but showed us what was possible in the world of books. We eagerly awaited the release of the latest book in the series and the thrill of exploring the Osborne display at the Roaring Brook School Scholastic Book Fair every year. The Magic Tree House books were a staple of our childhoods. And this year, book lovers of all ages will have the opportunity to meet Osborne herself at the Tenth Annual Chappaqua Children’s Book Festival on September 30, 2023. For countless children – including the two of us – these words were the entryway to the wonders of literature and a lifelong love of reading. Mary Pope Osborne’s timeless words are the start of a thrilling adventure.

But you’re not here at ANZ LitLovers to see what an expert makes of a book like this, you’re here to see what an ordinary, interested reader discovers. There are allusions and allegories all over the place, myths I recognise and those I don’t, circularities that seem to get lost but perhaps I missed the route, and so on. Indeed, I kept thinking of James Joyce’s Ulysses as I read: it has the promise of the same kind of riches that reveal themselves the more times you read it. I am mildly worried that perhaps I should have re-read it in its entirety more than once before tackling writing about it, because I suspect that repeated readings will reveal all kinds of aspects that I’ve missed or misunderstood. Get set for a wild ride with Alexis Wright’s new novel, The Swan Book! It’s exhilarating, confronting, funny, touching, angry, wise and unforgettable. If you have ever wanted to live your own self-reliant journey and strike out and go off-grid these are the books to read. I also enjoy living life vicariously through her especially when she is talking about eating creamed bear for dinner….oh yum…I bet it was amazing! On to the book review… I must share that Bonnie has been extremely patient with me and I am so grateful that she as an author and homesteading friend has crossed my path. Also, when we corresponded I was in the middle of my busiest season at work, in school part-time, and I had no idea that Hurricane Florence was going to be heading our way in the near future in North Carolina. I was elated! First of all Bonnie is an amazing writer and she makes you feel like you are right there with her and Sam every step of the way on their journey in Alaska. I can’t even tell you how thrilled I was when Bonnie Rose Ward asked if I had any interest in doing another book review for her. If you love fishing, wildlife, homesteading and adventure this is not a book to miss!

Last December, Rothfuss offered to read the prologue of his highly anticipated novel, The Doors of Stone, and share a full chapter from the book if his fans could raise a certain amount of money for Worldbuilders. Rothfuss is no stranger to philanthropy in addition to his work with Worldbuilders, he has donated over $500,000 to various charitable causes. Later, he persuaded the editor to use this title. Despite the editor’s objections, the author stated in a 2017 FAQ that the title of the third and final book would remain Doors of Stone due to popular consensus. Rothfuss announced his intention for the Kingkiller Trilogy even before the first novel, The Name of the Wind, was published. In the meantime, fans can reread The Name of the Wind and The Wise Man’s Fear to prepare for the final instalment in the Kingkiller Chronicles. There’s no set release date for The Doors of Stone yet, but Rothfuss says that he’s working hard on finishing the book. If you’re wondering when the chapter will be published, Rothfuss says that he plans on releasing it “soon.” Once Rothfuss amassed $300,000 in donations, he promised to give a full, spoiler-free section of The Doors of Stone once he reached that amount. During one of Rothfuss’s Twitch live streams for his Worldbuilders charity, fans earned the right to read the chapter. |
