I LOVE COMPLEX DATED ADVERBS. Wherein. Heretofore. Thereon. Hereunto. Whereof. Hitherward. Hereinafter. How can you look at these words and not lose your mind. They’re insane. I think I’m in love.
I have made a new quiz with Elizabeth Goudge recs as the result. This time, I included eight of her books that I consider to have the cosiest, most rural, cottage-y settings, so to speak. I did not include the Eliot trilogy, because I always recommend them the most, regardless of other factors. Have fun!
What a lovely quiz! I seriously want to live inside some of those pictures. Linnets and Valerians was my result, which I’m delighted by because it sounds like a lovely book. I’ve no idea whether this is accurate at all but on first impressions it gives me the same sort of vibes as The Phoenix and the Carpet.
You’re most powerful when you honor your own rhythm. If your circadian rhythm is nocturnal, don’t follow those “waking up at 4 am changed my life” routines because they’re not for you. If you function best when you focus on a single task, single job, single goal, then working half a dozen sidehustles may not be for you. Honor your own rhythm, work with it instead of against it, and you will achieve so much more than if you blindly follow what’s considered “correct” by social conventions of the time.
Of these 9, I’ve read 4, given up on 2, not yet started 2 and am currently reading one. Has anyone managed them all?
This is a nice selection (and lovely art, the crinkles in the spinds are *chef’s kiss*)! I’ve also read four. Absolutely loved three of them—The Lord of the Rings, The Once and Future King, and Pyramid. I enjoyed Circe a lot too, although not quite as a much as the others.
The Lies of Locke Lamora is on my to-read list, recommended by a friend, and I’m quite excited about that one. Same with Assassin’s Apprentice. I want to give the others a proper go at some point too. I remember trying one of the Wheel of Time books before and not managing to get into it, but that was a long time ago so I was probably just too young.
