Despite what some adults seem to think, teenagers are fully human. And some of them read as intensely and keenly as if their life depended on it. Sometimes maybe it does.

"Let's go to a bookstore and I'll buy you books" is a love language

I love Sabriel by Garth Nix, I love the fun necromancy, I love the old kingdom having different moon phases and seasons than the other side of the wall, I love the creepy undead, I love the decaying vibe of the old kingdom, I love music notes being part of the magic system

Inkheart - Rebound Feb 2024

By Cornelia Funke. This rebind was made for a talented friend in a Inkheart exchange! Inkheart is undeniably one of my absolute favorite book series from childhood and I was so happy to make this. Book 2 of my monochromatic obsession that I have yet to find my way out of. Haha

"Be careful of offering your life to a witch," he said. "You never know what we might do with it." "It's all right, I'm hardly using it," I promised.

"So what's the issue?"

"A wicked fairy turned up and started putting spells on people."

"What kind of spells?"

"Oh, you know. Terrible portents of doom. Poetic punishments that will teach you a lesson. A few minor plagues."

"Sounds unhospitable. Can't you ask her to leave?"

"We're a magic friendly restaurant. Usually we just get piskies and sprites doing gentle mischief. The kids love it. So, technically, she's not breaking any rules."

"Kids, you say?"

"Yeah, but, in fairness. They've mostly found it funny."

"So, you're a family friendly establishment."

"We pride ourselves on being so."

"So your customers all implicitly agree to a social contract of behaving appropriately around children."

"You could put it that way, sure?"

"Then you've absolutely got grounds to ask her to stop."

"We do?"

"Of course. What would you do if one of your adult patrons was loudly swearing?"

"Uh, I'd say: sir, there are kids present, please don't curse ... OH!"

"Heh, this reminds me of the time a fairy transformed a local union rep into a chicken, then we had to get the chicken to testify against her before she'd agree to turn them back. I had to learn to translate chicken."

"How so?"

"Technically, we got that fairy on 'fowl language' too."

"..."

"..."

"So who do I call to banish you for that pun?"
