Part of my dusty bookshelf, and some of my favorite books.

the maiden

A Maiden there came dancing into the Faerie ring Her eyes squeezed tight against the light she had not seen the thing

The Maiden there went prancing around the Faerie ring Her hair blew round and came unbound and she began to sing

The Maiden began chanting across the Faerie ring The song was old a tale it told about the death of spring

The Maiden could no nothing within the Faerie ring An icy breeze, and the Maiden was seized, by the savage Faerie King

On the Path to Faerie...

This Poem is Part II of a Series. Click here to read Part I.

Through Earth, Fire, Ice, and Sea, The Dark Path twists and turns. Through Nightmare Terrors, come to me, When all Courts have adjourned.

By Moonlight, ‘tween the Willow Trees, A weighty Fare be paid. And a gift, you’ll bring to me, Mercurius Retrograde.

If you make it through alive, You may ask one thing of me. Though ‘tis unlikely you’ll survive, Once you are free to leave.

Come to me only if you must, No lies, tricks, or deceit. Come to me in perfect trust, And bow before your Queen.

Care I not what’s in your Veins, But rather in your Dreams. I will Claw into your Brain, See what you keep Unseen.

And if you Fail the Faerie Queen, With Disrespect and Lies, I may pull out each of your Teeth, I may pluck out your Eyes.

The price for Treachery is steep In Faerie, Flesh and Bone. Wake the Satyr from his sleep, Or walk the path Alone.

If you Pay your Freedom Price, Do not look back again. For if you come to Faerie twice, There you will remain.

Behold! My stack of “featured” reads, which resides in the living room of my home. These titles were all chosen specifically for the arrival of 💫 Sagittarius season! ♐️ Did you know? Jane Austen and Louisa May Alcott were both Sagittarians.

What’s your favorite Winter Read?

🌺Monthly Wrap-Up🌺 QOTD: How was your reading month? AOTD: So, I've read 3 books (working on my 4th) and I enjoyed both of them thoroughly. I am also going to do something a little different and add a mini review! ~Read~ With the Fire on High by Elizabeth Acevedo - 4 stars Prom & Prejudice by Elizabeth Eulberg - 3.75 stars I Owe You One by Sophie Kinsella - 4 stars ~In Progress~ Crown of Midnight by Sarah J Maas ~Mini Review~⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Malachi was just an amazing guy. I really liked how she was close (or sorta close) with her abuela. But she can be a little intense. One thing that did annoy me was the fact that abuela was spelled 'buela. I don't know why. Maybe because my slang is abue??? Who knows, I mainly say abuela anyways. I really don't care for Tyrone. He's a spoiled little man child that needs to grow up. I don't like his mom either. Which I mean, are we really supposed to? I am so glad that everything worked out and the ending! I had so many emotions at the end! Also, all the food. OMG it sounded all so delicious! 🌺 |Tags| #monthlywrapup #readingmonth #WiththeFireonHigh #ElizabethAcevedo #PromandPrejudice #ElizabethEulberg #IOweYouOne #SophieKinsella #yacontemporary #adultcontemporary #romance #yaromance #adultromance #bookishcandle #bookreview #bookstagrammers #bibliophilelife #booksofig #readingtogether #readersofinstagram📚📚❤️ https://www.instagram.com/p/CEj4iNyg7p8/?igshid=wjb939hqk35t
