P.S. Can you tell me what age you think Earthsea is for? Like, should I get them on a gift list now for my two, or do I have a few years yet?

Hmm, maybe 10+? I wouldn't have any content concerns. It's more that the younger crew may find it a bit boring. It doesn't have the excitement factor of Harry Potter, for example.

OKAY -- we might have to reignite the old Voxer thread to check in on this 4/9 situation.

Also, I love/don't love that we both sent out our newsletters within 24 hours of each other using the word "blur" to describe April. EEK.

I gotta know… what do you suspect you are?! You’d thought four, right? I’m especially interested because I at first thought I was a 4 (or a 1), and probably would have gone w one of those if not for a good friend who helped me see that I’m actually a 6!

I’m reading When You Care (Substack book club) and a little book written like 20 years ago called The Drama of the Gifted Child!

I thought I was a 4 and am now pretty sure I'm a 9! They're both withdrawn and they both have connections to 1 and 3 that I resonated with, which is what threw me off I think.
