The House of a Thousand Lanterns | Victoria Holt

I used to read sooo many books by Victoria Hold, Mary Stewart, and Phyllis Whitney. Nice memory.

I have not read this but I suspect @LeahBergen would have, or at least own a copy with a more vintage (and prettier) cover! 😊

Still on my TBR shelves, I'm sure there is a #lantern or two in this historical novel set in Victorian London. #GratefulHarvest @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Eggs

TheKidUpstairs I've got this on my shelf too. I keep meaning to read it, and then choosing something else. Maybe I'm intimidated by the size? Who knows. 2y

vivastory @TheKidUpstairs I'm definitely intimidated by the size. I do want to read it though, but I have so many other doorstop books on my TBR. Maybe someday...in the next couple of years 😂 2y

Readergrrl I really enjoyed this novel. Yes, it took awhile to read, but very atmospheric and thrilling! 2y

Write Yourself a Lantern: A Journal Inspired by the Poet X | Elizabeth Acevedo

#GratefulHarvest

Not bookish (I chose the tagged book for its title) but today‘s #lantern prompt made me think of the Shinnyo Lantern Floating ceremony that happens each year (except the past 2 COVID years) in Honolulu. Thousands of people gather on Memorial Day & write a message to loved ones they‘ve lost (family, friends, pets) on candle-lit wood & rice paper lanterns, floated out in the water as the night falls. It‘s gorgeous & moving to see.

DebinHawaii P.S. The lanterns are environmentally friendly & are later gathered up so they don‘t impact the ocean & environment. 💙 2y
