Anne of Green Gables (Anne of Green Gables, #1)

L.M. Montgomery

This heartwarming story has beckoned generations of readers into the special world of Green Gables, an old-fashioned farm outside a town called Avonlea. Anne Shirley, an eleven-year-old orphan, has arrived in this verdant corner of Prince Edward Island only to discover that the Cuthberts—elderly Matthew and his stern sister, Marilla—want to adopt a boy, not a feisty redheaded girl. But before they can send her back, Anne—who simply must have more scope for her imagination and a real home—wins them over completely. A much-loved classic that explores all the vulnerability, expectations, and dreams of a child growing up, Anne of Green Gables is also a wonderful portrait of a time, a place, a family… and, most of all, love. WITH AN AFTERWORD BY JENNIFER LEE CARELL

Attempts to turn stories from Greek mythology into a novel by modern authors can be questionable at times, but I think Madeline Miller did well with this book

The Ardent Swarm

Yamen Manai

From an award-winning Tunisian author comes a stirring allegory about a country in the aftermath of revolution and the power of a single quest. Sidi lives a hermetic life as a bee whisperer, tending to his beloved “girls” on the outskirts of the desolate North African village of Nawa. He wakes one morning to find that something has attacked one of his beehives, brutally killing every inhabitant. Heartbroken, he soon learns that a mysterious swarm of vicious hornets committed the mass murder—but where did they come from, and how can he stop them? If he is going to unravel this mystery and save his bees from annihilation, Sidi must venture out into the village and then brave the big city and beyond in search of answers. Along the way, he discovers a country and a people turned upside down by their new post–Arab Spring reality as Islamic fundamentalists seek to influence votes any way they can on the eve of the country’s first democratic elections. To succeed in his quest, and find a glimmer of hope to protect all that he holds dear, Sidi will have to look further than he ever imagined. In this brilliantly accessible modern-day parable, Yamen Manai uses a masterful blend of humor and drama to reveal what happens in a country shaken by revolutionary change after the world stops watching.

I definitely wasn't in the mood for this type of fantasy when I read it, but it was definitely well-written

Reading Again & Book POVs

In 2025 I set a New Year’s resolution to read more after attempting to do the same in 2024 and failing (it happens 😌). I used to read a TON when I was in middle school and into high school and then kinda just stopped and hadn’t picked up a book again until 2024, when I read maybe 2 books for the whole year. Happy to say I’m on my 12th book of the year and I am falling in love with reading again 😌 and I think I’ve learned I really love books with multiple POVs especially when they are intertwined with each other and you are seeing the same story in multiple ways rather than just getting one story from different people. Does anyone feel the same? Does anyone feel differently? Does anyone have any good recs? There isn’t really a genre I won’t try once 😉 p.s. I do attribute my reading success this year to this platform and look forward to seeing it go further!

Readathon Discussion- Magical Readation Spring Equinox 2025

Hey y'all! I'm not sure if this is really the spot for this, but would love to chat with folks about readathons we are participating in! So if anyone is participating in Magical Readathon for the Spring 2025 semester (running for the month of April), I figure this can be the thread :) I'm keeping my character that I have had from the very beginning and pursuing dual callings (Alchemist and Demonologist). Will probably tackle the Leyline Train Conductor and the Impling Sitter Scheme as well. If not allowed, please do delete 😅

This is a very simple and basic book as far as science books go, but Carlo Rovelli has an amazing writing style and I will read anything he writes

The Fellowship of the Ring (The Lord of the Rings, #1)

J.R.R. Tolkien

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. In ancient times the Rings of Power were crafted by the Elven-smiths, and Sauron, the Dark Lord, forged the One Ring, filling it with his own power so that he could rule all others. But the One Ring was taken from him, and though he sought it throughout Middle-earth, it remained lost to him. After many ages it fell into the hands of Bilbo Baggins, as told in The Hobbit. In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task, as his elderly cousin Bilbo entrusts the Ring to his care. Frodo must leave his home and make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ring and foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose.

Audiobook tips

I've been meaning to try listening to audiobooks for a while and I'd love to know your best tips! Where do you listen to audiobooks? The only platforms I know that have the most range, at least according to what I usually read, are audible and audiobooks but I also don't love the fact that I'd be paying a membership plus paying for each individual book. How do you listen to audiobooks? Do you listen to them while doing other stuff or while reading the book you're listening to? A big reason why I want to try audiobooks is to do what I've seen people call "immersive reading" aka listening and reading the book at the same time cause it honestly sounds kinda fun! Thank you in advance <3
