@somelitrstuff
crazy how so much of living a good life is just mastering the art of letting go. and really mastering the art of letting go doesn’t boil down to the idea that you’re too weak-willed to hold on, but to the realization that your time is worth more than dwelling on this one thing that won’t even be relevant to you a year from now

Hello, does anyone have any recommendations for comforting fantasy reads?
Things akin to Howl’s Moving Castle, Stardust, The Princess Bride, etc?
I’m particularly looking for audiobook recommendations so if you know one that plays really well as audio, I’d love the suggestions!
Tagging a lot I’m sorry I’m just really hoping to reach more people!
I don’t know how the audiobooks for these are, because I don’t do audio, but I think the books below fit the vibe you’re after. Enjoy!
Nettle and Bone by T. Kingfisher
Unnatural Magic and The Ruthless Lady’s Guide to Wizardry by C. M. Waggoner
The Dark Lord of Derkholm by Diana Wynne Jones
The Left-Handed Booksellers of London by Garth Nix
The Watchmaker of Filigree Street by Natasha Pulley
Dealing With Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede
the Tiffany Aching books by Terry Pratchett
The Invisible Library by Genevieve Cogman
Strange Practice by Vivian Shaw
Castle Hangnail by Ursula Vernon
Spirits Abroad by Zen Cho
The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien
Spindle’s End by Robin McKinley
A Marvellous Light by Freya Marske
Totally agree with the recommendation for Spindle’s End, and most of McKinley’s other works would probably fit this vibe, particularly:
Rose Daughter
Chalice
Beauty
And definitely check out the sequels to Howl’s Moving Castle if you haven’t already:
Castle in the Air
House of Many Ways
And here are a few others that may fit the vibe you’re looking for:
The Goose Girl by Shannon Hale
Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine
Princess Academy by Shannon Hale
The Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander
(I’m not sure about the audiobooks for any of these though.)
“It’s a dark place, not knowing.
It’s difficult to surrender to.
But I guess it’s where we live most of the time. I guess it’s where we all live, so maybe it doesn’t have to be so lonely. Maybe I can settle into it, cozy up to it, make a home inside uncertainty.”
Nina LaCour, We Are Okay
"To make living itself an art, that's the goal."
~Henry Miller
Oh yeah? but how do you plan that Mr. Miller?
“Forget what you feel, remember what you deserve.”
— Unknown
“A morbid longing for the picturesque at all costs”
-Donna Tartt, The Secret History
“May you always do what you’re afraid to do.”
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Because love, at its best, repeats itself. Shouldn’t it?”
“Sometimes being offered tenderness feels like the very proof that you’ve been ruined.”
“Do you ever wonder if sadness and happiness can be combined, to make a deep purple feeling, not good, not bad, but remarkable simply because you didn’t have to live on one side or the other?”
“Because freedom, I am told, is nothing but the distance between the hunter and its prey.”
“How could I tell you that we, after all, are so close, the shadows of our hands, on two different pages, merging?”
“If we are lucky, the end of the sentence is where we might begin.”
“What do we mean when we say survivor? Maybe a survivor is the last one to come home, the final monarch that lands on a branch already weighted with ghosts.”
“To love something, then, is to name it after something so worthless it might be left untouched-and alive. A name, thin as air, can also be a shield.”
“My sneakers erupted with silent flares: the world’s smallest ambulances, going nowhere.”
“I was once foolish enough to believe knowledge would clarify, but some things are so gauzed behind layers of syntax and semantics, behind days and hours, names forgotten, salved and shed, that simply knowing the wound exists does nothing to reveal it.”
“I touch the world not as myself but as an echo of who I was.”
“A new immigrant, within two years, will come to know that the salon is, in the end, a place where dreams become the calcified knowledge of what it means to be in American bones-with or without citizenship-aching, toxic, and underpaid.”
“Being sorry pays, being sorry even, or especially, when one has no fault, is worth every self-deprecating syllable the mouth allows. Because the mouth must eat.”
“That’s what I wanted -not merely the body, desirable as it was, but its will to grow into the very world that rejects its hunger.”
“I want to insist that our being alive is beautiful enough to be worthy of replication. And so what? So what if all I ever made of my life was more of it?”
“To stay tender, the weight of your life cannot lean on your bones.”
“In a world myriad as ours, the gaze is a singular act: to look at something is to fill your whole life with it, if only briefly.”
“They say nothing lasts forever but they’re just scared it will last longer than they can love it.”
“I run thinking I will outpace it all, my will to change being stronger than my fear of living.”

summer really is like. this iced coffee is all that's standing between me and incredible violence.
“I have a million things to talk to you about. All I want in this world is you. I want to see you and talk. I want the two of us to begin everything from the beginning.”
— Haruki Murakami
—H.G. Wells, The Time Machine
