The Magician's Nephew by C.S. Lewis 4/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I really liked this one! At first I was put off a bit because they're all a bit alike in one way or another but in the end I enjoyed how this one connected all the others and learning how things started.

The Three Musketeers by Alexander Dumas 4/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I watched the 1993 movie quite a few times as a kid and loved it so much I knew I wanted to read the book when I got older. I remember when I first got a copy in high school ,thinking I could finally read it but the abundance of French and the older written English quickly dashed my hopes. I decided it was a good time to try again and to try immersion reading it, alas I had some issues with the translations being different from the copy I owned and the audio I found. I once again rerouted my expectations and listened almost solely to the audio. Parts of it were so good and vivid in imagination, dashing and courageous. Roguishly delightful, I loved the four immensely as I knew I would. I found myself many times however lost in the prose and some of the roundabout narrative, barely understanding what was happening at times but these clouds would part and I would once again find my feet. By the end I felt I had once again done this book a disservice, having listened at such a speed I felt that if I had only read physically and at such a pace I would've understood all and enjoyed this more thoroughly. But another time now, for this, my first attempt I rate my experience and say no more.

Creepy crawling vines, sentient mushrooms, or a killer forest; no matter what shape they take, plants and fungi play a main part in these horror novels.

If you think real world societies are bad (you'd be right)... get a load of *these.*
