We went to Barnes & Noble for my birthday today. I‘m pretty happy with my purchases.

Really looking forward to this.

Okay, I LOVED that. While the Fables series continues to pull characters from fairy tales, this arc felt very much like a truly original story, and a wonderful journey for the previously overlooked protagonist. It wove seamlessly into the continuing story of the series but really took the time to tell its particular entry in a style that felt like vintage tales of knights and adventure. A new favourite in the series' collected editions.

This is a good introduction to Japanese horror and provided a lot of detail on the history of the cat myths as well as example stories. The illustrations were also nice.
3/5 read for good history of mythology but don‘t expect a lot of lyricism in the tales.
I finally started unpacking all of the little treasure for my living room!

One of my current reads with magical realism. I'm about halfway through, and it's beautifully written.

1. I'm going to my sister's baby shower this weekend. It'll be our 8th niece/nephew, but the 1st on my side of the family. I'm so excited!
2. A wall. 🤣 (I'm at work.) But at least I get the sunshine!
3. Michigan's Upper Peninsula in the US. It's 48 and mostly sunny: A beautiful day.
4. The Tiger's Wife by Tea Obreht

"The old street lamp" is a beautiful tale about leaving behind a whole life (hopefully) well lived. It can be interpreted in various ways: it could be about retirement, death, our place in our family. A warm and magical tale you can read here: https://tardisgrades.blogspot.com/2024/04/a-tale-day-old-street-lamp.html?m=1

“The Two Brothers“ is a little tale to honour two important Danish personalities, Anders Sandoe Oersted and Hans Christian Oersted, who were brothers.
But I also see in this tale that there is more than one path to find the so-called “truth“ of the world. One can see the truth in many different ways. Some, like these two men, even devote their lives to it.
