    Piers took a leisurely look at Linnet. There was the beauty, sure enough. But it didn't detract from the intelligence in her eyes. And in his opinion the slightly cynical lilt in her voice just made her all the more beautiful, as if Aphrodite had been crossed with Athena.

    What a delightful historical romance. I enjoyed spending time with Piers and Linnet, and with the entire cast of characters. Linnet is a sensible and at times cynical heroine who is a perfect match for our curmudgeon Dr. House stand-in, Piers. Their banter? Exquisite.

    The same universe that dispassionately takes things away can bring you things you weren't imaginative enough to dream up.

    The only reason this took me way too long to finish was because life got in the way, but this might be my favorite Emily Henry book. Miles was everything, what a sweet cinnamon roll, and Daphne was so relatable to me that I ended up crying way more than I expected as I read her journey.

    There is always a little magic in the heart of a person who loves it.

    I spent most of the time reading this book trying not to cry. It is a deeply moving, sometimes silly, sometimes heart-wrenching read. I loved almost every character to bits.

    Theirs was a friendship built on the unspoken, shared understanding that you can love the home you've made with the whole of your heart and still know the land it's built on will never claim you.

    welp, I'm crying.

    For a moment, it was just Sera and the horizon and the few valiant, twinkling stars of magic that had never left.

    What a lovely & melancholy chapter this was.

    I love them so much, and they made my favorite Japanese sweet potato dish that I must replicate. It was also rewarding to see Shiro’s parents finally start to come around.

    Meanwhile, across the country, a certain innkeeper was about to discover that when you hold tight to the little magic you find, when years go by and the world loses much of its colour and still you refuse to forget the magic, magic will go out of its way to show you that it remembers you too.

  • Climate fictions🌿🕸🔥 - does anyone have good climate fiction recs?

    I took a Climate Fiction course in my Masters (I studied EngLit) and have been invested in this subgenre ever since!! I want more recs for climate fiction though, it could also be just a subplot rather than the whole plot🥺 I'll share my recs here and you share yours plz!!

    My recs:

    1. How Beautiful We Were by Imbolo Mbue
    2. Dark Wild Shore by Charlotte McConaghy
    3. A Psalm for the Wild Built by Becky Chambers (this one is more hopeful than the others)
    4. Death of the Author by Nnedi Okorafor (a subplot in this one)
    5. Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler
    6. Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer I don't recall more rn but please give me your recs🤲
