I’m always wandering into rain-drenched Schwarzwald ☔️, climbing the snow-capped Bavarian Alps🌲, and surrendering to yet another folklore retelling where virtue is negotiable. ✨🍒

    this book is giving me straight up PTSD because why is lillian reminding me of my ex friend who was just as much of a cunt as lillian is????

    Finally reading this classic! The language is so eloquent and, at times, a little dramatic, which I'm finding pretty amusing

    Rarest of the rare. Owen, Una and Vivian are written with grace and fault, with each great breakingly right from where they stand, even when they wound each other. I met this book at the wrong time, yet I suspect, years from now I’ll return to it with gratitude when life feels softer.

  • Fantasy books that smell like pine, rain and Black Forest (Schwarzwald)

    I have been yearning for book that feels like shade of Prussian blue in the sky before rain. I want it to make me feel the gentle hush that settles over waltzing trees as wind carries the first fragrance of wet-soaked earth. The stillness of birds lingering on pine green branches. Earth’s quite hums as she gently coaxes worms to the surface to greet the season’s arrival.

    Reading it could feel like standing in the moment before and after the first drop of silvery rain, when the world falls quiet and all the remains is you and the way your heart receives it all.

    P.S. I've been yearning for the Black Forest since June. I saw on Instagram today that Heather Fawcett's next Emily Wilde book is set in Schwarzwald but it'll take months. I want words to feel the Black Forest this week before rainy days in my country disappear again.

    Diana Wynne Jones has filled every page with wit, charm, and absurdity that makes even Howl's tantrums feel endearing. Sophie! Oh Sophie! I wish I was as gloriously sensible about life as you! And Howl, you're infuriatingly brilliant and kind! There's so much to learn from Michael's earnestness. And I suspect, I'll have three volumes if I take notes from Calcifer on how to steal every scene with a well-timed complaint.
