Lyrical Ballads 1798 | William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge
post image
Mehso-so

A collection of poems which was first published in 1798. Some of the poems were easy to follow, others more difficult, but in either case, I can't see what makes them so well thought of. Narrowly avoiding a Pan.

The Sandman | E.T.A. Hoffmann

Pickpick

A little gothic horror novella. Nathanial is tormented by events from his childhood involving an alchemist and stories of the Sandman, horrors of which have re-entered his imagination and life upon leaving home for university. An event involving eyes near the end tied in very nicely. Only criticism is it ended in a way where I turned the page expecting a bit more, making me wonder if that insipid last paragraph suffered from translation a little.

This is a cozy little read all about grief and how it manifests in our lives. Through the different characters, different reactions to loss and ways of dealing with it are explored. At times it‘s a little upsetting, but mostly it‘s like drinking a warm cup of tea on a quiet night. A few editorial issues, but they didn‘t really detract that much from the book or the story and feelings it tried to impart. A lovely read.

I wanted to like this more than I did, for me it was between a pick and so so. Cozy fantasy about an arboretum where you can plant your loved one‘s ashes and they can grow into a magical tree. Some of the characters have dark secrets, and the consequences are causing their home to crumble. Frank is a Beast, and there are cupids, witches, and a fairy and magic is normal.

Read on kindle so here are Igor and Venkman making goofy sleepy faces.

I'm glad I chose this as my first read going into 2025 because there's nothing like starting the new year on a five star read!

House of Frank absolutely wrapped itself around my heart and squeezed, and I mean that in the best way possible.

This book uses the most unique setting and characters to explore love, loss, grief, friendship, and found family in an unforgettable way.

Good morning Litsy!

I'm sorry I disappeared again; it's been a busy year! But I'm going to try to start posting more regularly again.

I also just finally joined StoryGraph! My username is speculative_female for anyone who would like to add me there.

In the meantime, my current read (one of my Christmas gifts!) is pictured and tagged above.

Happy Holidays to all!
