Morgan Sheppard (1010 KP) created a post

Good morning, my lovelies! It's National Red Rose Day today, and this quote has always charmed me, because there's something so genuinely lovely about the idea of a garden full of roses as something alive and attentive. To me, it feels very much in keeping with the way the old stories always understood the natural world to be.

Have a Fabulous Friday. Take care and stay safe. 💙

His best book IMO
An early ish Discworld book and the first to introduce Death.
Because of the vast number of Discworld books written there is a lot of crossover in the later books and a lot of folklore building. The actual stories sometimes suffer for this but not in Mort. It works as a standalone as well as part of the series.
I'm so glad and lucky to have a signed copy.
RIP Terry Pratchett.

Gorse was an absolute delight! Atmospheric, dark, lots of fae, folklore and rich in 18th century Cornwall beliefs and attitudes. In Gorse, superstition, fae and religion collide - and the result isn’t pretty.

I loved all the fae: both friends and enemies, the power that the main character, Nancy, could draw from the land and the religious zealot who had a habit of messing things up by ignoring the true laws of the land (and those laws aren’t tied to Christianity).

Very enjoyable.

Okay, don't get me wrong. I can see what people see in this series. I don't know what I thought I'd expect considering I generally don't like fantasy, and I definitely don't like Harry Potter. It's just not my jam. In many ways, Akata Witch is very HP, just in Nigeria. In other ways, it's so steeped in African mythology, it's a true breath of fresh air from the normally very European folklore that fantasy so often draws from. It's definitely a book I'd recommend.

Weird or spooky history and folklore, sometimes cryptids
A well-researched show that gives facts and insights into everything from big foot to serial killers to Amityville horror. It goes all over the place, which I both like and dislike, but I always download it right when comes out. There are (melo)dramatic pauses, inferences about what people were feeling, and putting some reactions and stories into local and historic context. All presented in a soothing baritone. So, if that's what you're into, you'll love Lore.
