Read the Green Town Trilogy
Dandelion Wine is in the top five all-time for me. It is very close to a perfect book.

I just read Dandelion Wine this year for the first time, and agreed. Definitely the best book I’ve read this year, and it’s also in my top 5. The others are in my TBR. My grandmother used to make dandelion wine, so discovering this book a year after losing her was good timing.

It is such a beautiful book. Once I realised I wasn’t going to get a typical linear story, I just melted into it and enjoyed his writing, the atmosphere, and just the feelings the book gave me.

I’m reading Something Wicked at the moment, and it doesn’t have quite the same magic for me, even though the writing is still beautiful.
