A Swiftly Tilting Planet (1978) – Madeleine L’Engle

What Sue’s Watching – Playing PVR Catch-up
Last week saw a lot of epic television, but I’m going to try and focus on a few in particular this time – especially the ones that I inadvertently left out last post. Lost Girl – Tim usually writes the episode recaps, and while I thought of trying to write one for last week’s…
