These Bookish Delights

‘We're the same beings that began, still living, in all of our fury and foulness and friction. Everyday odysseys. Dreams vs. decisions. The stories are there if you listen.’ - Kae Tempest

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!

Being ill sucks, but it’s a wonderful excuse to spend all day in bed with a good book.

“Fate,” Blue replied, glowering at her mother, “is a very weighty word to throw around before breakfast.”

So I've been pretty terrible lately with this blog. There's not much more I can say about that. Anyway! I have one hundred pages left of this monster and I am so excited to see how it ends. I have absolutely loved It - thankfully, as it is over 1300 pages long. In all honesty, it is headed straight for my favourites shelf.

Clearly I was in a very specific mood at the bookstore yesterday... I think I might pick up Misery after I finish The Sound of Gravel (which I am loving). I'll probably post a review of ACOWAR in a couple of days as well. Loooots of thoughts on that one.

Most recent purchases. I’m still on ACOWAR at the moment, which I’m thoroughly enjoying... though I can’t help but think about what I’ll be picking up next. I’m feeling something short.

If only there could be an invention that bottled up a memory, like a scent. And it never faded, and it never got stale.
