Adventures in Erfurt 1: On Saturday, the brilliant Tina Lurz and I did a lovely event together for @herbstlese. More readings from #ScarlettandBrowne, and lots of #LockwoodandCo (and #Bartimaeus) chat! It was a joy to meet everyone in the superb audience. Many thanks to @kemnitzkatja from Herbstlese for looking after us so perfectly! @revolutionbabyrevolution @dhachildrens @cbjverlag Posted @withrepost • @herbstlese Es war soooo schön mit Jonathan Stroud am Wochenende!

“Strange how close the darkness is, even when things seem brightest. Even in the glare of a summer noon, when the sidewalk bakes and iron fences are hot to the touch, the shadows are still with us. They congregate in doorways and porches, and under bridges, and beneath the brims of gentlemen’s hats so you cannot see their eyes. There is darkness in our mouths and ears; in our bags and wallets; within the swing of men’s jackets and beneath the flare of women’s skirts. We carry it around with us, the dark, and its influence stains us deep.” ―Jonathan Stroud, The Creeping Shadow, Lockwood & Co. #️⃣ 4 📚🎧 #gsbbooks #gsbquotesjonathanstroud #gasstationburrito #books #bookish #bookworm #booknerd #reading #currentlyreading #whatImreading #bookaholic #booklove #bookquotes #reading2022 #jonathanstroud #lockwoodandco #thecreepingshadow #ghosthunters #ghosts #thedarkness #shadows https://www.instagram.com/p/CebaoSZuiu5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s been almost two months since season 1 of Lockwood & Co. and I’m getting a lil nervous. Someone please put me out of my misery!!! @netflix @jonathanstroud

[wellgoslowly]

I like to think that Jonathan is watching all of us rallying for lockwood and co with a smile. I promise, @jonathanstroud, we'll do everything we can. there's 9k of us following the lockwood and co tag and we got it trending within hours. hoping to see 35 Portland row again soon :)

Damn it. Damn it, @netflix , you're horrible. This show was brilliant and it had one of the best fanbases I've ever interacted with. @jonathanstroud , you should be so proud of the incredible talent you shared with the world.

I desperately hope the show gets renewed on another streaming platform because 8 episodes is not enough.

Two businesses right next to each other on the way to my guitar lessons.

What are the chances?

My first ever glimpse of the amazing world of Lockwood and Co., like many others, was through the show. I don't remeber what I was doing, but when I stumbled upon the trailer it immediately captivated me. It was so odd though that, being as wary of horror as I am, something so explicitly revolving around ghosts would intrigue me. Yet I couldn't shake the thought of it. Finally, I recruited my family, settled in for the scares, and watched. And I will never be the same. That night we only watched four episodes, we all had responsibility the next day, but even then I knew I was in love. All that day I thought of it and I was practically bursting out if my skin in excitement when night once again rolled around and we continued our dive into Lockwood and Co. And then we hit that cliff hanger. Gosh, I love it but I hate it! I wanted to scream and shout and laugh and sing I loved the show so much. I still do, of course I still do. Even after all that's happened.

I devoured the books after that. How could I not when they held the answers, the origins of this show that had so captured my heart. I tore through them one after another, soaking in every masterfully written page of it. I cried when I finished them, for the beauty that they gave my life, for the wonder that they filled it with. These books taught me to live. They told to remember the little things and hold them fast. @jonathanstroud you don't know me, but you saved my life. These books taught me to not fear the dark. Yes, there are horrors and dangers untold lurking just beyond, but these books made me believe I have everything I need to defeat them. They taught me to trust my senses, ground myself when that fear comes creeping in, and to always rely on those I call my friends. I used to rush through the darkened hallways of my house when night fell, desperately avoiding the monsters I was convinced were there, but now? Now I walk. Calm and collected without an ounce of that old fear because I know. I know I don't have to be afraid.

Not of ghosts anyway.

I couldn't wait for the second season to be confirmed. I couldn't wait till it all came alive on screen, couldn't wait to soak it all in again and have it be new and yet still familiar. I waited with bated breath along with the fandom, praying everyday that this would be when we got the good news. But, as you all are so painfully aware, it never came.

It was still early on in the morning when I heard the news. I was just scrolling through Instagram, peaceful as you like, when I came upon Jonathan Stroud's post. I could give a thousand flowy words and a million essays on how the news of the cancelation made me feel but nothing portrays it better than saying that in that moment my heart shattered.

I cried then. Of course I did, how could I not when so many beautiful possibilities had been taken from the world. How could I not mourn for all the bit of stories, all the amazing chacters, every bit of heart and love that is in the later books because Netflix decided it wasn't good enough. It is good enough. I still don't understand how you're too blind to see it.

I've never been a part of anything like this before. Heck, I didn't even have this account until I was desperate for information on what to do with my grief. I've never really put my thoughts out there or tried to be a voice. Not until now. That's how much this show and these books mean to me. Yes, I know at the end of the day it's all fictional, yes I know it's just some books and just a show. And yet...it has become so much more to me. So much more to us.

I don't know if anyone will read this. It's pretty long and might not make a lick of sense to anyone else. But if you do happen to see this, please give this universe a try. You don't have to love it, but please see all the golden truths it has to teach. And if you can, please help us. Help us save the show. Help us save this part of our hearts.

"Do not go gentle into the good night. Rage, rage, against the dying of the light."

📚🧵on why children having access to books is important through Lucy Carlyle eyes in Lockwood & Co by @jonathanstroud Lucy grew up in a house with no books and little reading encouragement. Reading was a job skill and not for fun

Then Lucy moved into Portland Row where there are books everywhere & her housemates read all the time. The house has a variety of subjects & genre to read. From ghost theory, to religious, to cheap fiction for the purpose of entertainment

Lucy also sees her housemates reading. But they don't read just for work and research. George reads comics and Lockwood reads gossip magazines and cheap thrillers. They grew up in an environment that encouraged reading for knowledge and fun

By the Black Winter Lucy is also reading thriller books Lockwood parents had left behind in their home!

And in the end when rebuilding from the destruction they will restock their home with new books 📚 ❤️

@jonathanstroud , accidentally channeling a nickelodeon show from the 90s which he had probably never seen while writing Book Kipps:

(Big Pete Wrigley (Michael C Maronna), The Adventures of Pete & Pete)

Book fandom, circa casting announcements, lo all these years ago: but Jack Bandeira is too attractive????????

Thousands of Americans who grew up on The Adventures of Pete & Pete: what do you mean he wasn't supposed to be attractive?????
