It's #FolkloreFriday 🍂

This week’s focus explores the traditions of the autumn equinox in Wales. Known traditionally as the balance of the year (Cydbwysedd y Flwyddyn), this moment of equal day and night was treated as a vital ecological and spiritual boundary; it marked the definitive end of summer and the opening of the winter gates.

Welsh folklore surrounding this period is deeply tied to the completion of the harvest and the gathering of the hedgerows; harming the final fruits of the wild after this threshold was often considered a violation of the land's right to enter its winter rest. The old ways understood that the earth requires a season of darkness to regenerate; by honouring this equilibrium, we acknowledge that our own lives require periods of quiet stillness to remain fertile. 🌾

A book where the President’s son falls for the Prince of Wales? Sign me up!

This book is raunchy and the language is rather explicit, and my goodness, I loved it. This one was one of my rare audiobook listens, and I was driving down the road laughing and crying. Wiping away actual tears at points.

McQuiston combines a sort of coming of age love story against the backdrop of politics. Both storylines are compelling beyond belief. Alex, the President’s son and our main character, is incredibly well-written. Funny, sweet, and so real. And Henry, our Prince, is lovely too. It’s impossible not to root for them.

This book is witty, sweet, a surprising nail biter at times, and offers such a great message—now more than ever. (And the narrator in this one was easily my favorite in my limited audiobook career.) Cannot recommend it enough!
