It would not be a welcome dawn.
Already the sky told this story, with its sad halo of silver beckoning from beyond the horizon.

I‘ve never really been one to reread books. I‘m always anxious to get started on a new book and find a new fav. But I have been thinking a lot about some of my fav books and decided to give this one a reread since I originally listened to it on audio. So far, it lives up to how I remember it. Bizarre, dark, gruesome, and magical ✨🦢
Maybe I need to reread books more! How often do you reread favs? How do you balance new reads and rereads?
pickVery enjoyable and fast read overall. Didn‘t understand a lot of the foreign word references regarding food and clothing. Some things were obvious, like facing her past as the answer to unlocking her powers…I didn‘t get the Howl‘s Moving Castle similarities until she went to his bedroom that was down a long hall and was eccentric. Then I got all the Howl vibes. So sad that Eliasz had to die. Nice tidbit right at the end.
pickGreat queer YA retelling of Northanger Abbey! I loved Catherine‘s obsession with gothic novels updated to Cade‘s obsession with horror movies. The gay fears and love story felt very real, especially for teenagers in rural Texas.
Unfortunately, when I showed this to my gay classic-lit-and-horse-loving friend, he informed me that this artist is just as bad as all the others at drawing horses 😂
A hooded figure stood over me as I slept.

My least favourite Sittenfeld but it was still fun to read her Austen fan-fiction novel. Basically, Eligible imagines the characters from Pride and Prejudice in a modern day setting where Jane is a yoga teacher and Mr Bingley a doctor and former Bachelor. All a little ridiculous and far-fetched but quite amusing. Some of the characters do not make a good impression in the modern setting, particularly Mr and Mrs Bennett.
pickI studied Ancient Greek in High School and I remember translating the Illiad and commenting how in love Achilles was with Patroclus, so this book is the nerd fanfic that I've been waiting for since my teenage years. I like that it's told from Patroclus point of view, it gives depth to his character, but also allows us to see Achilles from the point of view of the person who loved him most (forgive me Tethis).The different events of Achilles life⬇️
so-so
