Currently listening to the Abhorsen series audiobooks! I read them for the first time about ten years ago and it’s been fun re-reading them with Tim Curry narrating. My audio copy of Lirael expired before I could double-check their costume descriptions though, so Sam is rocking an 80s sweater look.

Looking for something to read? The long weekend is the perfect time to start a new series!
We recommend starting Garth Nix’s Abhorsen trilogy, which begins with Sabriel, a novel taking place in a world where the line between the living and the dead isn’t always clear—and sometimes disappears altogether.
Already a fan of the trilogy? Mark your calendars, because Clariel, the long-awaited prequel to this awesome series, is coming our way this October!

30 DAY ITEM CHALLENGE + FOURTEEN + YOUR FAVORITE BOOK CHARACTER
Okay literally the cruellest prompt, because I have so many. I opted for my favorite team, because my heart beats for the Abhorsen Trilogy. Sameth is absolutely precious, and Lireal is the most badass librarian ever.
eta: FRICKEN CRAP I got Sam’s surcoat wrong. Um, oops.

Favorite book series of all time, hands down. Lirael in the library was always my favorite part, but the parts in Death were plenty amazing too. ;D

Aelin, Kestrel, Feyre, *insert other YA heroine*: this is my boyfriend who is badass and cool and capable he is my partner in kickass.
Ruby Daly: this is my Liam he is soft and full of sunshine and if you touch him I will kill you.
We call this a beta hero, and there ain’t nothing wrong with that.

Reading is everything. Reading makes me feel like I’ve accomplished something, learned something, become a better person. Reading makes me smarter. Reading gives me something to talk about later on. Reading is the unbelievably healthy way my attention deficit disorder medicates itself. Reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it’s a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it’s a way of making contact with someone else’s imagination after a day that’s all too real. Reading is grist. Reading is bliss.
