An urban fantasy classic. I've reread it twice, and will read it again.

Oh, I loved this book. De Lint's Newford - where magic lives right on the verge of reality. He addresses so many difficult subjects with such sensitivity. And his characters might be some of my favorites. Can't wait to jump into the third Newford book. #NewfordOrBust

Remember those #CYOReadathon (@Sace) goals i set last week? Yeah, i forgot those, too. New goals: 3 books before the 7th, one being my #bookspin (@TheAromaOfBooks) book
#TwoForTuesday @TheSpineView
1. It's a tough choice between The Night Circus (Morgenstern) and Dreams Underfoot (de Lint). If I had to choose, it would probably be The Night Circus.
2. July's #BookSpinBingo and the July 1-7 #CYOReadathon
I have a heck of a list of books to tackle this month!

@Avanders Thank You! You are awesome! This was a lovely pick me up for @cobwebmoth and myself on a sick day. You and @Chrissyreadit have spoiled me so much over this #LMPBC round. Your kindness and generosity are very much appreciated. I haven't read that de Lint book yet. It just jumped to the top of my tbr. 😃
Finished the last bit of this one on audio this morning. This book spoke to the very heart of me. It was such a profoundly healing and inspiring process to journey through it with its characters. I cannot wait to continue my travels in Newford. ✨🎶🎨🗝
Not to delve too much into spoilers but #DrJekyllandMrHyde made me think of the villain in this wonderful book about a woman whose paintings come to life.
I haven't read this in probably 15 years, but I still remember how shocked I was when his kindness turned into extreme cruelty.

This is for @Leniverse and @Foragingfantasy - the place to start if you want to try Charles DeLint.
Memory & Dream - first Newford novel
Dreams Underfoot - first book of Newford stories
Newford - DeLint's north american city where reality & fantasy overlap. Lots of recurring locales and characters throughout his Newford books so you really get to know the place & all the interesting folk inhabiting it. Enjoy!
No author I've ever read quite captures the danger and wonder of finding #somethingmagical in the everyday world like Charles de Lint. #riotgrams
#17rainbowbooks Instead of a #rainbowbookstack I decided to go with a rainbow of covers. No TBRs in this one either!
I love Charles DeLint's style of urban fantasy - but I may love his batsh*t spazzy signature even more 💕
