Feels like coming home.

Grizelda+Epalts 4ever! I ship it! Never have I ever shipped any pairing in a book older than my own grandma so intensely! 😀 Oh my Dog, This old book had the wit of Wilde, Shakespearian drama, marriage plots that leave Austen sitting on the bench, tasty bits of Latvian everyday life between both World Wars, history and mistery at the end.
I blame everything on the old Surģenieks, that old fool! 5/5

"—There are so many people at your house. I am sure they wouldn't even notice your absence.
—They wouldn't. But I would.
—What on earth are you so busy with?
—Sleeping. Nobody else can do *that for me."

Dagne is a Sleeper, too! ???

Font designs in old 1930s books... Gorgeous! ? I picked this up because yesterday all electricity went out for miles, but my Cybook Muse had almost eternal battery life and this amazing, mischievous old book in it -- perfect for reading aloud for my grandma. She loves it! Looks like I'll have to make this a tradition. ??♥ ["Bride Hunters"]

My First Library still looks like The Palace of Secrets and Dreams that it was for my 4yo self 😊📚🏰 #Homecoming #TheLittleTownThatHasMyHeart @Cēsis, Latvia

"...What would I not do to be the only victim?"

? "Crime and Punishment"
? "Oskars Vailds un slepkavības sveču gaismā [Oscar Wilde and the Candlelight Murders]"

"Are you a seeker? A seeker after truth?"
"I'm more of a chaser, really." ?

#bannedbooksweek the best time to read this and get sensory hallucinations of the smell of burning paper and claustrophobia that a world without books would bring.

Behind closed doors and closed time. Divine.

Through the small, black door.

One hell of a ride. This book was everything I expected and thousand times more. In this dark, cold 'verse of nothingness the sparks of love, trust and frail hope are the only thing that can make life and soul illuminate.

@JasonArnopp Nice to see you!... on my Autumn Reading Heap. 😁

A book that starts where others end -- with a bad breakup and world quite literally ending. 📚💟✒
