~ Bewitched by Fantasy~

A changeling that has yet to be returned to the Faerie Realm. Until then, I'll be writing about it.

I've read Piranesi twice this year - it's just one of those books that fit me perfectly. It's best to know nothing about the plot going in, so all I'll say is this: Piranesi was an Italian artist, famous for his sketches including a collection called "Imaginary Prisons" that look like a fantastical underground lair full of vaults, machinations and (upside-down) stairways. Two of the etchings are displayed here. The book definitely has a mysterious, Dark Academia vibe to it if that's your thing. . . . . #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #books #fantasy #fantasybooks #magic #booksaremagic #mystery #mysterybooks #darkacademia #novels #darkacademiaaesthetic #bookaesthetic #bookworm #bookreviews #jonathanstrangeandmrnorrell https://www.instagram.com/p/CS97_bTp__9/?utm_medium=tumblr

Let's run away

By coincidence, I read two books in a row about an "outsider" trying to understand humanity, and enjoyed both of them (for veeeery different reasons). "The Humans" is a heartwarming story about an alien sent to earth for a mission, only to fall in love with the good side of people. Quirky writing and very sweet. "The Dispossessed" is my first Ursula K. Le Guin, and much more accessible than I thought it would be! Le Guin is both extremely intelligent and extremely wise, able to consider every possible angle of what a utopia would look like and how the different contradictory needs people have would make it impossible to work perfectly (or any political ideology). It left me with so much to think about. . . . . #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #books #fantasy #fantasybooks #magic #booksaremagic #scifi #sciencefiction #scifibooks #sciencefictionbooks #bibliophile #lightacademia #darkacademia #novels #booksbooksbooks #readersofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CRVRvM8LQgr/?utm_medium=tumblr

I spent much of my childhood daydreaming, almost compulsively, so it's no wonder that I grew up wanting to write stories more than anything. Very recently I've discovered that I have inattentive ADHD, and weirdly enough, I'm endlessly grateful that my brain gave me the ability to escape to the Faerie realm whenever I've wanted. Reading stories like Peter Pan are almost physically painful, to imagine having to let go of the childhood joys of whimsy and imagination. Luckily for me, I'll never have to. If you were ever creative, from writing poetry to singing to painting, don't allow the shroud of adulthood shame you into sucking the magic out of you. . . . #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #books #fantasy #fantasybooks #magic #booksaremagic #writing #writer #darkacademia #novels #neurodiversity #ADHD #lightacademia #readersofinstagram #literature #writersofintagram #art #fairytales https://www.instagram.com/p/CRSmkHNrtfk/?utm_medium=tumblr

Look me in the eye and tell me Edinburgh isn’t the most magical city ...

Autumn in Edinburgh by folkenrose/Abbi

[antiquariant]

took a really long walk right after rain through the oldest and tiniest alleys and streets in the town; old colorful houses, some of them looking very abandoned with nothing but a cat sitting inside and looking down on you. everything smelled like roses, cobblestone streets, wet soil, like salty sea which we walked by and sweet moments of childhood. 🏛🧦☕️
