The Lord Of The Rings trilogy and The Hobbit. I think the movie adaptations of The Hobbit and The Lord Of The Rings were very good. I never felt like any of the movies were too long. I just had a great time watching the movies and I liked the story. What‘s amazing to me is that Tolkien made up all of the languages in the books.

The premise of this YA book is wild. Piano prodigy Kiri, whose older sister died in an “accident,” spends 6 weeks home alone while her parents go on vacation. She makes some bad decisions then some worse ones and ends up with a mentally ill boyfriend, a drunken friend, and the truth about her sister‘s death. As her mental health splinters, the people around her do little. Soft pick for the boyfriend‘s redemption arc and Kiri‘s unique voice, but 😯

Learning, experimentation, pursuit of beauty, pursuit of meaning, battling against the illusion of perfection. The right book at the right time? Something meditative, focused on the senses.
What's impressive is though I spent a couple dutiful, indifferent years playing the flute in school, I never had this much passion for an instrument, I know nothing about pianos, and yet this still captivated me. 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? Part of my appreciation might be a nostalgic connection, I know what it is to grow up in a rural area, have nature surrounding you in your youth, then look for its echoes in a more urban setting as you pursue education and a career.
There's a strong chance that any book using forests and trees as the prevalent metaphor will be one I enjoy, but even with that bias, I think the writing here was extraordinary (credit to the translator also for conveying such).

Robotswithpersonality 3/3 Not certain this is a feeling that can be recaptured, but if anyone has any comps...I will also live in hope the author produces another work that is translated into English. 5mo

Onomatopoeia are up to the writer, but having never encountered these particular syllables in English, I think the translator has directly transcribed (wrong verb?) these from the Japanese. Unique experience to see another language's onomatopoeia. Nifty!
