Dropping this artwork of Emily and Wendell from Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Faeries by @heather_fawcett !(the cool mechanical pencil is BACK!) I had such a pleasant time reading the wrap-up to this trilogy in Emily Wilde's Compendium of Lost Tales. I love the transition of Emily dipping her toe into Faerie from the real world in Book #1, having a foot in both worlds in Book #2, and keeping a toe in the real world while in Faerie in Book #3. It created new backdrops and stakes through her journaling journey, with Book #3 being the stakiest stakes of the three! Absolutely love these two DOLTS (Wendell's words, not mine), the best grumpy-sunshine couple since Howl and Sophie. So sad to see them go, but this trilogy seems so easy to pick up and reread again! I want to thank @delreybooks for providing me both an arc and a hard copy of Compendium; I hope to do another papercraft standee featuring the whole trilogy set soon!

The feminine urge to live in my favorite books is insane.

the TENSION between Kissen and Elogast got me screaming and kicking my feet begging them to kiss already

Jude and Cardan 🥀

[needynova]

honestly if we get only a glimpse of jude and cardan in the Prisoner's Throne, I wouldn't mind. I don't understand why so many people want suren's (and oak's) story to be all about jude and cardan again. I love them too, trust me, but they had their own story and i genuinely want to have more of suren (!!!) but also oak, who isn't exactly what we all thought back in the cruel prince trilogy. anyways what i want to say is pls stop saying that you only read for jude and cardan because i don't think you'll get nearly enough content like you did back with their own story.

I finished The Stolen Heir and let me tell you that I am supporting Suren with my whole heart and soul. Honestly, this book is AMAZING and whatever Suren does, I am on her side. She deserves nothing but to do whatever she wants until she finds herself and her purpose. Till then, again, whatever she does, I will patiently watch and support her every decision.

nathaniel thorn being one of my fav characters and after reading the short novella my mind did NOT change. he's so supportive, funny, kind and GOOD to elisabeth.

I just wanna say that holly black once again captured the atmosphere and setting of Elfhame and the Folk so well in The Stolen Heir. The descriptions of different characters, backstories, their terrible and awful past/childhood, different "myths" as well as the true nature of the Folk give me goosebumps whenever I stumble upon a new one.

I am definitely enjoying reading about this world again.

I have officially entered my brandon sanderson era - about time - and I cannot wait to read everything he has published. The Final Empire was one of the best books I've ever read and I cannot stop thinking about it!!

donna tartt: literally writes an entire 600 page book about how it can be dangerous to do things just for the aesthetic

us, already making pinterest boards: oh to be a classics student in vermont in the 80s drinking whiskey from a teacup and occasionally murdering people

reading the secret history for the first time is such an experience. genuinely, i yearn for around this time last year when i experienced it for the first time, and i felt completely immersed in it. it was the first book in a long time that made me feel involved in the story, as though i was richard, absolutely enraptured by the aesthetics and the ‘superiority’ of studying classics. so much so, that i began to dismiss the terrible things. it’s such a brilliantly written book. and richard is so damn unreliable i love him

You ever finish a really good book and just? Forget how to live? Total amnesia towards how things were before you picked up that piece of literature?

adding edan from spin the dawn to my list of #protect at all costs cause oh boy he is so precious!! the way his dimple appears whenever he genuinely smiles or laughs and how he always tries to support maia...I have so much to say about him but let´s just say that he definitely stole my heart okay
