Ok so The Poetic edda probably cant be considered a light read but old norse poetry will always be closest to my heart.

Starting ATYD today! Wish me luck! Seems like a heartwarming story about a group of boys with a happy ending! I know for a fact this will be a fulfilling read and will not be detrimental to my mental health!

Book Photo Challenge

"Stendhal syndrome," he says. "You've lost me," I say. "Prominent in Florence," he says, straightening up and waving his specs in the air. "People pass out in the presence of beauty." "They pass out?" "People collapse," he says, "tourists are carried out of the museums on stretchers. The Stendhal syndrome," he says, "it's called that." "But I didn't collapse," I say. "No, but you cried. Sometimes people just cry. Or it starts with crying, and later they pass out."

The Late Hector Kipling (David Thewlis, 2007)
