dabbe OMG. I threw up at the theater while trying to watch BLAIR WITCH. I couldn\'t handle all of the camera jerking. And yes, it scared the crap out of me, too! Thanks for playing and sharing! 🖤🎃🖤 1mo

TheBookgeekFrau @dabbe Oh yeahhhhh, I forgot about the nausea inducing camera shaking 🤢 1mo

Fire and Hemlock | Diana Wynne Jones

Turns out it‘s been three whole years since I last read any Diana Wynne Jones and a whopping FOURTEEN YEARS since I devoured FIRE AND HEMLOCK in a single, rainy night in Taupo. Revisiting it now was the right choice. I may not finish it tonight, but it‘s gonna suck up a good chunk of my evening with its twisty, story-mad excellence.

I‘ll just try to ignore the cover, which has gotta rank as one of the worst on record. Who authorized it?

merelybookish I re-read this earlier this year. I just love it so much! 1mo

xicanti @merelybookish it‘s so good! I‘m glued to it all over again. 1mo

Larkken I ❤️ diana Wynne jones 1mo

sarahbarnes It is a truly terrible cover. 1mo

xicanti @sarahbarnes I think they were aiming for 1970s gothic revival (this edition was released in 2002), but it all went horribly wrong. 1mo

Fire and Hemlock | Diana Wynne Jones

One of my intentions for 2024 was to do more re-reading, and now in mid(late) February, I've finally started one.
I read this back in 2018. I don't remember much except feeling confused. 🙃 It's Wynne Jones's retelling of Tam Lin, a fairy tale I apparently am drawn to.

It‘s been years since I read this one but the dark fae or scary #Fairies 😉 still come to mind. I remember liking the fairytale meets dark academia vibe. 🥀🧚

Tam Lin | Pamela Dean

I'm hoping at some point I will irritate someone enough they'll tell me how to make the covers tilt. 😂 #ThingsInCommon

A reread for me and I still love it so much. I particularly love having taken the time to reread a chunkster and not think about the number of books I might have been reading in that time. Quality over quantity for the win!

willaful @faranae This is my “book based on oral tradition“ #URC2023 entry. (edited) 2y

Faranae Oooo, good choice for that prompt!

Also, I am not irritated at all; I firmly believe you should precisely as much time as you want to into social graphics, which might be 0 minutes and results in untilted covers. Since you want to know, though: if you're on canva on a computer, left click the cover and to one side (usually the right), a little rotation button will turn up, two arrows pointing in a circle. Left click that to rotate. 2y

willaful I have found the rotation button but it never seems to do anything. 🧐 I'll have to experiment. 2y

My love & appreciation for this re-telling of the Scottish ballad Tam Lin set at a Midwestern liberal arts college in the 1970s deepens each time I re-read it. If you ever romanticize/feel nostalgia for the university life, this book is for you! It describes a lost & rarified version of the life of an English major. A meaty, magical read, perfect for autumn! Expect I'll get a craving to read it again in a few years! #192025 @Librarybelle

sarahbarnes I‘ve never read this, but based on your description I really need to! Sounds like my kind of book. 2y

batsy 💕 @sarahbarnes It's one of my favourites. I hope you give it a try! 2y

sarahbarnes @batsy with recommendations from you both, I am definitely going to! 2y

LeahBergen Well, I‘m intrigued! 2y

merelybookish @sarahbarnes Definitely worth a try! Especially since you attended a Midwestern liberal arts college! 😀 2y

merelybookish @batsy It just keeps getting better. Also, it's funny to me how much I forget between each reading! 🙃 2y

merelybookish @LeahBergen Try it! I would love to hear what you think! 2y

Librarybelle Wonderful review!! 2y

rubyslippersreads This has been on my TBR list for ages. With all these glowing recommendations, I‘ll have to move it up the list. 2y

merelybookish @rubyslippersreads It's a really fun read! 2y
