I haven’t been so into two books at once for different reasons like this before; it feels impossible to put down either. Jane Eyre for lock-in moments where I can annotate and google new words. The Hobbit for a more leisurely read. I ❤️ books
(also my boyfriend lent me this copy of the hobbit. He collects books with cool covers. I have never really experienced the joys of J.R.R. Tolkien until now!)
Depending on the vibe you’re after, The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame is a favorite, so cozy and entertaining, as well as The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings books - very near and dear to my heart and so fun to read! Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier is one of the craziest, tensest, most atmospheric books I’ve read, ever. And The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov is an absolute trip, fantastical, satirical, and feverish to the extreme. All very different from the other but each so good in their own way!
just finished Carrie and now am a third through the shining with misery, it and joyland lined up for afterwards but I’ve never been so captivated by any books I love reading but could never just sit and read for hours on end but these are so entertaining and descriptive and fun that it’s just the most I ’ve ever enjoyed reading and I’m blowing through these books
My boyfriend came across these illustrations looking through a book of french fairytales (adorable) and thought I’d like them and I DO! They’re by Virgina Frances Sterrett and so so so dreamy.
