I started The Book of Dust by Philip Pullman. I am loving it so far and I’m about halfway through. Baby Pantalaimon is soooo cute it makes me want to cry 😭
Pullman is an author I grew up loving. His Dark Materials was probably the most important and my favorite series I read as a kid, I was the same age as Lyra as the books were published. He’s an author that I will instantly purchase any book he has written and I’m so happy for the new trilogy!
Nice! I just finished the trilogy when the last book came out too!
Somehow this trilogy had fallen off my TBR list, but your excitement is making me move it to the top. It's a great sign that you loved His Dark Materials and are still enjoying the new stuff--I'll definitely check it out.
I really enjoy his work and keep going back to it. I think it was someone here that was reading it last year that really put it on my radar again. Then when the last of the trilogy came out last year, I picked it up so I can read all 3 quickly.
I’ve listened to the His Dark Material dramatized audiobook, which is narrated by Pullman. My head narrator is a mix of him and Attenborough. It’s great 😊
