I recently bought two books I had never heard of before- Louisa May Alcott’s Flower Fables; and The Fairy Caravan by Beatrix Potter.

The Walpurgi’s Night is well known for the famous for the mythological flying and meeting of the witches and spirits, and Floralia is an Ancient Roman's festivity dedicated to the Goddess of Spring, Nature and Fertility Flora, that are celebrated between the 30th April and the 3rd May.

The Walpurgi’s Night and Floralia are very inspiring because they reminds me the duality of the Spring Season: the cozy one with the Flowers and the beauties of the Nature and the dark one that is very suble and invisible, but also very present in the folk stories and myths.

For these reason, I wanted to share with you this Book Suggestions that reminds me the Walpurgi’s Night and Floralia, with the Floral themes and the elements of Witchcraft, mysterious powers and rebirth, just like the Spring Season.

It will be included an old book suggestion from my previous account.

If you want to know more about it or share a books that reminds you the Walpurgi’s Night and/or Floralia, or thought about the video,

Finished this two days ago, and I really enjoyed it! It was very sweet, and had some definite Studio Ghibli vibes.

"She taught us the language of flowers—a forgotten study nowadays, but most charming. A yellow tulip, for instance, means Hopeless Love, whilst a China Aster means I die of Jealousy at your feet."

Hello, lovelies! Tell Me Something Tuesday is a meme created by Rainy Day Ramblings and currently hosted by Because Reading Is Better Than Real Life, That's What I'm Talking About, For What It's Worth, Book Girl of Mur-y-Castell and Offbeat YA. It provides weekly discussion prompts on various book and blogging topics with optional participation. You can sign up for prompts here.

This week’s prompt is: Which books are you looking forward to reading this Spring? (March-May)

I've almost met my winter goals of knocking out my NetGalley list and one of my sequel piles, and the next three reads I have lined up are mostly tying up loose ends from those.

Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi This is the group read for Forgotten YA Gems and one of my friend, Tink's, favorite books, and I'm so excited to finally get to it! Feel free to join us for discussions!

The Trespasser by Tana French I saved this for last in my sequel pile because I love the Dublin Murder Squad so much, and I'm not sure I'm ready for it to be over!

The Black Guy Dies First: Black Horror Cinema from Fodder to Oscar by Robin R. Means Coleman & Mark H. Harris I did finish my NetGalley queue (I promise!), but then I got an invitation to read this book and couldn't resist. Anyway, is an NG queue ever really over?

After these, my reading list is pretty wide open. I'll probably work on my second sequel pile (there were three piles total, don't look at me) and mix it up with whatever I'm feeling so it doesn't become joyless. I’m excited not to have a set list for the first time this year!

Garden reading

The Ladies Flower Garden - second hand from Ebay. It’s a sort of gardening diary, but with interesting inserts about flowers, flower related craft - such as how to make flower tea, flower pressing, and the language of flowers - and quotes about seasons, nature, flowers etc from poems, literature, etc. 

The Convenient Marriage by Georgette Heyer - a romance set in the Regency Era. I love the cover.
