Enchanted Castle | 
pickA classic that somehow this magic and castle obsessed book freak never read before.
So glad I finally did!
Very much made my #bestof2021 list 📚
I‘m sure I can‘t be the only adult who dreams of stumbling upon magic items in the most random ways 💛
#bookhaul part 1/3 from used book sale, classic lit edition.
No idea if I'll like the Conrad or Racine but they were way too pretty to leave behind.
Pretty sure I read the Nesbits as a kid but can't quite remember.
Reading this one again is in order. I just had a rambunctious conversation over if this is actually a classic with my mum. It says it right on it. #building #maylovesclassics @Bambolina_81 @Sarah83
Part of my ulterior motive in reading this book may have been to listen to this #podcast episode about it... 😇
I found this podcast about the YA fantasy of my (and the hosts') childhood last month while I was rereading Tamora Pierce. Now it's got me on a kick of rereading all kinds of things! #kidlit #fantasy
pickThis #kidlit classic has been on my list for a while, so I'm glad I finally picked it up. Published in 1907, it follows 3 siblings and a friend as they spend the summer discovering a mysterious castle, magical objects, and unintended consequences. My library edition has fantastic illustrations as well.
"It is a moment, and it is eternity. It is the centre of the universe and it is the universe itself. The eternal light rests on and illuminates the eternal heart of things."
From the moment I was born, my father has filled my life with stories. The books he read as bedtime stories to myself and my two sisters every night for years, the family stories of grandparents, great grandparents, and even further back where an indelible aspect of my childhood. This love for stories has grown with me for my entire life, and I will forever be grateful to an amazing father.
