I’m reading Attachments right now. It’s cute and definitely has me quickly turning the pages too. I needed a lighter, fun read after the heavy books I’ve been reading.

Is this a new book!?!! Did he make another one of the His Dark Materials series!? I need answers!!

Carmel

Jade it’s the ‘prequel’ or as Pullman has said of the new series… ‘the equal’….

Jade

OMG! How is it?! Is it good!?

Jade

I have the complied trilogy as well as Lyras Oxford. Have you read that one?

Carmel

Jade I just finished it!!! I really enjoyed it. I’m going to go back and read ‘His Dark Materials’ and then reread it. It had been a while and I was trying to remember who the characters were and who they were in the other books…

Carmel

Jade what’s Lycra’s Oxford like??
