Hello everyone :)

I would looooove to know what your all-time favourite book is (and maybe a little blurb about why)!

If so, what was the job? Do you think the author knew what they were talking about, or should they have done more research? If they made any mistakes describing the job, what were they? Were they major or minor details?

I'm especially interested in hearing from people with unique jobs, jobs involving forensics, nurses/doctors, etc. but I want to hear from everyone of course!

Have a great day everyone :))

As someone who is interested in niche weirdo perfumes as much as I am reading, I am obsessed with the use of scent/sense of smell in literature. So when I read the following, I was enraptured:

"We continue on until at last the pine and the aspen give way to cottages and flickering candlelight, silhouettes behind grubby windows, dirt roads and anemic gardens, a salty fragrance of woodsmoke and baking bread."

I can VIVIDLY imagine the scent of this village upon the air. The crisp, often sharp, quality of frost mixing with the musty, moldering, and maybe even metallic given the description of the gardens, scent of the soil mixing with charred wood and warm yeasty notes from the bread. Suffice it to say, I need to find this fragrance in real life.

I am convinced the connection between Wuthering Heights and Twilight is that most go into it thinking it’s a romance only to realize it’s a horror and a tragedy.

Also Bella read the book and learned nothing from it.

“I am like a burglar that can’t get away, but must go on miserably burgling the same house day after day” - Bilbo

Here’s my thing, how did Gandalf know Bilbo would be a burglar? Is it just that Hobbit’s are good hiders and the Took’s have been known to be good adventurers? Or did Gandalf know Bilbo would find the ring and therefore would become a good burglar??

Interested in this as I actually don’t know the lore since this is my first time actually visiting this series with intention rather than glancing at a tv while someone else watches the movies.
