A Week of Quiet Repose

Title: Out of the Silent Planet

Author:C.S. Lewis

Series: The Space Trilogy, Book #1

Length:178 pages

Genre:Science-fiction

My Rating:5/5

My husband insisted for years that I needed to read C.S. Lewis’Space Trilogyand he was absolutely correct. I did need to read them. Badly.

My Spring Reads

This spring, I’m goingepic fantasy/sci-fi. I’ve been on a C.S. Lewis kick and have big plans to finishThe Space Trilogy before summer. I’ve also got to rereadThe Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe for my Nine Nights of Narnia Blog Event. After I devour C.S.
