Only a fool trifled with a witch. And here he was, trifling with one in about as enormous a way as was possible. ‘If she’s a witch, she should be able to protect herself,’ said a small dubious voice in his head. Could she? Could anyone, where their emotions were involved? Love was blind, and lovers blinder. Even witch lovers.

Okay book readers of Tumblr, I could use some help.

I read a book years ago, and I’m trying to find it again, but I don’t remember the title.

What I do remember was that it was a (possibly?) romance novel (not a smutty one) set in Victorian England. The main character was physically disabled and had to use a cane to get around, and I’m pretty sure she was a witch?… I don’t really know, but magic definitely played a big part in the story. I’m also pretty sure one character was a doctor named Graves, and other characters commented on the irony of such a name. One scene I remember was this party where the characters unwrapped an actual Egyptian mummy (which was an actual thing Victorians did!).

Also the main character’s disability wasn’t magicked away, her maid and her best friend got together and made her new shoes and canes that went with her outfits and made it easier for her to walk without pain or discomfort.

I’m going to keep looking for the book, but if this is ringing any bells please reblog with the title, I really want to read this one again.

@sophielovesbooks @books-and-cookies @sleepyreads @whilereadingandwalking @just0nemorepage @i-love-books-because-reasons please help if you can

Update: I think we found it!

I’ll have to reread it to be totally sure, but it seems to be Courtship and Curses by Marissa Doyle!

It’s set in the Regency period, not the Victorian era, but Ms. Doyle has other books set in the Victorian era, and I might have conflated the different books. Thanks so much to everyone who offered suggestions, I’ll have to read those too!

Oi oi oi, booklovers!

Um post um tiquinho "diferentão", já que nunca falamos dos meus autores preferidos em específico :)

Não são muuuuuitos não, mas ainda assim, vale a pena falar sobre eles, afinal, quem foi que teve o trabalho de escrever os livrinhos que tanto amamos?

A Paulinha virou minha autora preferida lá em 2019 e foi a primeira a ocupar o posto, permanecendo em primeiro lugar até meados de 2023 - desanimei um pouco depois do filme de FMF, confesso.

Eu li quase tudo dela na biblioteca do colégio (ou seja, os dois primeiros de MVFS, todos de FMF, Um Ano Inesquecível e dois da trilogia das princesas), então só comprei FMF lado B e os quadrinhos, fora Princesa das Águas e MVFS3.

Em resumo, ainda faltam os livros de crônicas e os dois últimos de Minha Vida Fora de Série - que eu não pretendo ler nem tão cedo kkkkkk sorry Pri 🥲

Meu queridinho da Paula é Minha Vida Fora de Série, mas Princesa Adormecida também está favoritado em consideração à minha eu de 12 anos.

Marissa Meyer é uma das minhas novas autoras favoritas. Em 2023 li quase todos os livros dela, exceto a duologia Áureo/Maldição e, é claro, os que não foram traduzidos, pois além de não ser 100% bilíngue, sou pobre kkkkkkkkrying

Favoritei quatro livros dela. E o pior é que eles são enormes, com umas 500 páginas e eu li em uns 2-3 dias kkkkkkk muito eficiente.

Fiquei super feliz quando minha reserva de Renegados caiu justamente no meu aniversário no ano passado! Quase morri de alegria, não poderia ser melhor. A felicidade está nas pequenas coisas gente, a felicidade está nas pequenas coisas :)

Conheci a Kézia recentemente, apesar de ter uns livros dela juntando poeira online há algum tempo. Acho que meu primeiro lido foi Cecília Vargas que é um cozy mistery bem legal e, além disso, estou super ansiosa para ler a nova versão 🙃

Meu favorito dela é Brilhante como Ouro, mesmo que meu interesse por Eldorado seja igual ao meu interesse por Atlântida (ou seja, nulo), amei a história e a ideia da cidade do ouro estar escondida no Brasil. Isso sem contar meu novo crush literário.

Podem ter certeza que vou ler toda e qualquer coisa que ela publicar, inclusive o livro que ela está escrevendo atualmente.

Eu sou apaixonada pelo Sherlock Holmes e demorei meio século pra decidir ler, pq só vim sair da minha zona de conforto literária (romance teen) em 2022.

Mas enfim, a saga do Sherlock tem 4 livros (Um Estudo em Vermelho, O Cão dos Baskerville, O Vale do Medo e O Signo dos Quatro) e 56 contos - li todos 🫠 meu preferido é O Cão dos Baskerville, amei o Watson tendo seu momento de brilhar kkkkk

Porém, nem só de Sherlock Holmes viveu o caro Arthur Conan Doyle. Outros livros dele são O Mundo Perdido e alguns contos de mistério/terror, mas eu parei no Sherlock mesmo. Mesmo assim, o autor está aqui porque a escrita dele é ✨genial✨

Bom, é isso, caros booklovers! Post curtinho pra vcs hj, pra quem tá cansado dos quilométricos kkkkkk

👒| Mas me conta aí, quais são seus autores preferidos?

Bjs e boas leiturassss <33333

Jo, feel free to save and answer this ask whenever you have the time, but I love your writing style so much and I'm curious to know what your favorite books are? I used to be such an avid reader as a kid, but I find it so hard as an adult to find books that really hook me. It's like I need something more enjoyable than Faulkner but not anywhere near as formulaic as Nicholas Sparks, but those are the type of books that fill up many recommendation lists!

I love a nice, long novel that follows a character and their development over timen (can you tell why I like your work?). Some of my favorites are East of Eden, Vanity Fair, and I Know This Much Is True.

What have you read that you couldn't put down?

🌴

ohhhhhhh what a question. This is gonna need a read more.

I will admit to being a huge fan of young adult lit, despite being 33. A group of my friends and I go to YALLFest every fall to shout at our favorite authors. Some of my favorites from this category are Taherah Mafi (specifically her stand-alones "An Emotion of Great Delight" and "A Very Large Expanse of Sea"), Libba Bray (The Diviner's Series!!!! The Gemma Doyle Trilogy!!!!), Leigh Bardugo (specifically the Six of Crows duology and the Ninth House series), Sarah Dessen (though I'll admit this is mostly out of loyalty and nostalgia at this point and I think if I read her books fresh as an adult i would not love them like i did growing up), Marissa Meyer (The Lunar Chronicles!!!!!!!!!! but another that idk if i would love if i read them NOW instead of at 20), and E. Lockheart (WE WERE LIARS!!!!!).

As far as fiction meant for real adults lol I haven't been a fan of any of her books since the early 2010s but Jodi Picoult was really formative when I was a teenager and is honestly the reason I went for a writing degree. I thought I'd be her when I grew up (haaaa). I really liked Sara Gruen (EXCEPT for the one about monkeys WHO LET HER WRITE THAT), Tara Conklin, Kevin Brockmeier, Margaret Atwood (i once tripled the page assignment for a paper on Handmaid's Tale about a decade before it was a show and got a B for going over the page limit >:( true story). I am a HUGE HUGE HUGE fan of Brunonia Barry - can't recommend The Lace Reader or The Map of True Places enough!

Ok, for my ults - in the YA category it's Maggie Stiefvater (Raven King series, again - not sure how this will read as an adult person but I read them first in my early 20s and I was DEEPLY attached and she's one of the smartest, most wonderful people and I've met her several times and gone to her writing seminars and she's just..... a god tier human and great writer).

For adult fiction ult... N.K. Jemisen. I named the Professor in MFFMHH after her!!!! Nora is like........ literally a genius in our generation. Her trilogy The Broken Earth Trilogy fucked up my brain so bad I'll never recover (and it's also the key inspo for This is a Love Song, my WIP! It's technically a crossover of parts of the world from this series, plus bangtan lmao). It's a GUTTING analogy of colonization, racism, slavery, oppression... hidden behind an almost sci-fi/apocalyptic backdrop. It is SERIOUSLY so so so so so so so good but it will break your brain and fuck you up.

let me know if you end up reading any of these!!!! i love to talk about books!!!!

<3 <3 <3 <3 i hope you're having a good week!!!!

[anongoingsoliloquy]

Hey babes! It’s the first day of Spring so you know what that means…it’s time for a Spring Reading Recommendations List! For me, springtime is when I want to read all the classics. There’s just something about classic novels that just demands to be read in the spring, I’m not exactly sure why, but it does! So, this list will be made up of a few classics, but I’ve thrown in some historical fiction, some whodunits, fantasy, and contemporaries for good measure. Alright, let’s get started!

1.       Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen

The first of Jane Austen’s novel to be published, Northanger Abbey is a lighthearted novel that follows our heroine, Catherine Morland. In the novel, Catherine is taken to Bath for the first time, and while there she meets Henry Tilney and his sister Eleanor, who invite her to stay at their family home, Northanger Abbey. While there Catherine imagines that a terrible murder has taken place, which leads her to trouble. This novel is really about a young girl’s imagination and the power of reading! It’s really short so it’s perfect to read on a lazy spring day!

2.       Great Expectations by Charles Dickens

I put this book on my winter reading list too, but it’s also going on this one because it’s the best book and perfect for all year ‘round! Great Expectations is a chunky book, but don’t let its size scare you away! it is fantastic! It is truly a story about life. It begins when our main character, Pip, is six years old, when he first meets ‘the convict’. The novel follows Pip throughout his life, from meeting the eccentric Miss Havisham, falling in love with the indifferent and cold Estella, and coming into money and great expectations. We see the rise and fall of Pip as a person, ending the novel around the time that Pip is thirty. I laughed, cried and simply fell in love with the characters of this novel!

3.       Courtship and Curses by Marissa Doyle 

Courtship and Curses is a prequel to the duology, The Bewitching Season and The Betraying Season. All three novels are prefect to read in the spring, as they are fashioned after the style of Jane Austen. In Courtship and Curses, our main character, Sophie,(who is also a witch!) has a lame leg and walks with a cane, which leads her to think that she will never find a husband during her first season out in society. Then in walks the charming Lord Woodbridge who seems to love Sophie for exactly who and how she is. And let me tell you, Lord Woodbridge is very much like Mr. Darcy. Every word that comes out of his mouth makes me swoon!

 4. Hamlet by William Shakespeare

Hamlet is, in my humble opinion, the ultimate classic! It has everything, ghosts, murder, psychotic breaks, romance, incest, adventure, existential crises and even pirates! It is such a good story, and please, please if you have to read it for school, do not write it off as boring or too hard! if you go into it with a closed mind, you won’t enjoy it. So please just let yourself go in this world, and I’m sure you’ll like it! I always read Hamlet in the spring, specifically in May. I read it for the first time in May and now every May, like clockwork, I have to read it!

5.       Taken at the Flood by Agatha Christie

In Taken at the Flood, Detective Hercule Poirot must solve the mystery of a man, who is thought to be dead but maybe isn’t, who’s family now believes is coming back to reclaim his fortune. This is one of Poirot’s most puzzling cases which includes three dead bodies, blackmail and secret identities! I don’t’ want to say anymore because every little detail could be a spoiler for a murder mystery!  

6.       Les Misérables by Victor Hugo

The ultimate chunky book! Set during the backdrop of the June Rebellion, this story is about one man’s journey to freedom. Biblical allusions, action, adventure and barricade boys. And a bomb musical to go along with it! Don’t let the size of this book turn you away. It is worth the effort!

7.       A Room with a View by E. M. Forster

A Room with a View follows our main character, Lucy, who has her world turned upside down when she meets a boy in Italy who shows her that there are other ways of living, despite what her rigid English upbringing has taught her. Torn between the bright and lively world of Italy and the life she’s always known in Edwardian England, Lucy must learn to follow her heart…even if it leads to scandal.

8.       The Iron King by Julie Kagawa

When Megan Chase’s little brother is stolen by the fey, she, along with her best friend and a fairy prince, must travel through the Nevernever to get him back. Along the way, Megan learns that she is the daughter of the King of the Spring Court. Megan must decide which life to claim, the one she has always known in the human world, or the life as one of the fey.  

9.       Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingles

This is the first novel in the Little House series, based on the journals of Laura Ingles. Little House in the Big Woods is a cozy and quaint novel about pioneer living through the eyes of a child.  

10.   A Night in with Audrey Hepburn by Lucy Holliday

One of the only contemporary novels I’ve thoroughly enjoyed, A Night in with Audrey Hepburn is my dream! One night while staying in feeling sorry for herself, our main character, Libby, comes face to face with the ghost(?) of Audrey Hepburn. During their nights in, Audrey teaches Libby how to be comfortable in her own skin…while also getting up to a few antics! This book really spoke to me; Audrey Hepburn is my idol in every way and I would be thrilled to have her haunt my couch and bestow her wisdom unto me!

And that’s it! I hope you give these books a try because they are really good! Let me know if you do end up reading them or if you’ve already read them. I would love to chat about them with you!

Oiii, booklovers!

Que livros únicos são maravilhosos, todo mundo já sabe, mas as sagas? Dão a sensação de que você está vivendo com os personagens, se mudou para a casa, trabalho, escola deles e simplesmente passou a existir lá! É como se você fizesse (ainda mais) parte da história.

Por esse motivo, eu AMO duologias, trilogias e até as sagas estilo "esquema de pirâmide", que você acha que só tem um livro e na verdade são mais de dez 🤡🫶🏻✨ ent, hj o post será dedicado à elas!

• Mais de três livros

🧡| Anne - Lucy Maud Montgomery

São 8 livros e 5 extras e vc pode encontrar eles nas feirinhas de livros do shopping (os extras é um pouco mais improvável). Acho que tem na Biblion tbm, mas li físico.

Suponho que vcs lembrem minha opinião sobre essa saga. Caso não, acho uma chatice até Anne na Casa dos Sonhos (especialmente Anne de Windy Polars) e depois levei um tombo em Rilla de Ingleside.

E, para os "desavisados" que acham que os livros têm alguma coisa a ver com a série da Netflix, já aviso que a única coisa que permanece são os nomes e personalidades de alguns personagens (pq outros nem existem).

Mas, se vc pretende acompanhar uma """biografia""" da Anne desde a infância até o crescimento dos filhos dela, leia e seja feliz.

⚠️ Aviso de uma leitora arrependida: não compre a saga inteira, por mais econômico que pareça. Leia o primeiro e depois decida se quer ler o resto.

🧡| Sherlock Holmes - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (+10)

São 8 livros na edição da Principis que é a mais baratinha e vc encontra facilmente por aí, até nas feirinhas de livros do shopping e na Biblion. Não tem ordem específica, mas comece por Um Estudo em Vermelho.

Pra quem gosta de mistérios, ter 8 livros para acompanhar as aventuras do detetive mais famoso do mundo parece até pouca coisa.

Como eu disse na "descrição", sugiro começar por Um Estudo em Vermelho, que é o começo (quando o Watson e o Sherlock se conhecem), apesar de não ser um dos melhores, na minha humilde opinião. Depois disso, você lê na ordem que quiser pq não vai fazer tanta diferença. Eu, por exemplo, li dois dos livros, então os 56 contos de uma vez e aí os outros dois livros, terminando com O Cão dos Baskerville, meu xodó.

🧡| Crônicas Lunares - Marissa Meyer (+14)

São 4 livros (Cinder, Scarlet, Cress e Winter) e mais dois extras (Stars Above e Levana). Esse daqui vc n encontra no shopping, mas tem na Biblion kkkkk

E qm ama releituras de contos de fadas mas tbm curte ficção científica vai AMAR as Crônicas Lunares!

Como disse na "descrição", o primeiro é Cinder, que conta a história da melhor mecânica de Nova Pequim: Cinder, uma garota ciborgue de 16 anos, que recebe uma visita inesperada em sua loja ~ dizer quem é não é spoiler, até pq levando a história da Cinderela em conta fica bem óbvio, mas não vou tirar a magia da coisa.

🧡| Minha Vida Fora de Série - Paula Pimenta (+12)

São 5 livros (todos intitulados de MVFS, vc sabe a ordem pela temporada) e com o sexto a caminho!

Meu preferidinho, dono do meu coração e lar do meu crush literário supremo!

No primeiro volume (que inclusive é oq tem classificação +12), conhecemos a Priscila que tem 13 anos e acabou de se mudar para BH com a mãe. Além de lidar com o divórcio dos pais, a mudança de estado, a falta de seus bichinhos e suas novas amizades, agora também terá que encarar um novo amor.

• Trilogias

🧡| Amor & Livros - Jenna Evans Welch (+12/+13)

A ordem não importa muito, mas recomendo ler primeiro Amor & Gelato, depois Amor & Sorte e, por fim, Amor & Azeitonas.

Entre um passeio por Verona, Irlanda ou Grécia, qual você escolheria?

Acho que Amor&Azeitonas foi o único que não resenhei por aqui - achei legal, mas o pessoal faz parecer que ele é incrível e revolucionário -, mas eles são meio "independentes". As protagonistas até se conhecem mas não se encontram e é mais sobre a viagem/cenários, auto descoberta e romance msm. Tem uma vibe bem "Sessão da Tarde".

🧡| Renegados - Marissa Meyer (+14)

Primeiro, Renegados, depois Arqui-Inimigos e então, Supernova. Tbm tem na Biblion, pra qm quiser :)

Já notou que essas indicações tão sendo bem "para todos os gostos"? Kkkkkkk sair da minha zona de conforto literária facilita a vida de vcs tbm 🙃

Pra qm gosta de heróis e vilões, isso aqui é PERFEITO pra vc!

Nessa trilogia da Marissa Meyer, somos apresentados a um mundo cheio de reviravoltas onde ou você é um vilão ou um herói. E Nova Artino é uma vilã que quer acabar com os Renegados por não terem aparecido pra ela quando precisou.

Mas (talvez) um jovem renegado a faça mudar de ideia.

• Duologias

🧡| Pollyanna - Eleanor H. Potter (+10)

Pollyanna e Pollyanna Moça - vc tbm encontra eles facilmente nas feirinhas de livros do shopping e tbm é baratinho .

Pollyanna é uma garotinha loira que contagia a todos com sua alegria e o "Jogo do Contente", que foi ensinado a ela por seu falecido pai. Entretanto, sua tia Polly (com quem mora, já que é órfã) não parece muito animada com a presença da criança.

🧡| Alice - Lewis Carroll (+10)

Alice no País das Maravilhas e Alice Através do Espelho. N sei se tem no shopping, mas é bem provável e tem na Biblion tbm.

Aquela história clássica que todo mundo conhece: Alice cai na toca do coelho e vai parar no País das Maravilhas, um lugar bem maluco cheio de criaturas estranhas que até hoje vivem na nossa imaginação.

Enfim gnt, é isso, o post de hj ficou quilométrico kkkkkkk

Bjs e boas leituras <333
