Courage and Hope in Middle Earth (TRD 2021)

It's Tolkien Reading Day and it's a good thing we all have to wear masks, because this book stinks of Hobbits.

Orc teeth and boredom make for the best glam shots!

It's Wednesday again, so today's #erraticbookwedne It's Wednesday again, so today's #erraticbookwednesdays book recommendation is a childhood favourite, but I think it's still worth reading if you want a light, super imaginative read. 🙋‍♀️ Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer is the first in a series about a teenage genius and criminal mastermind who decides to kidnap a faerie for money. However, these are not your typical flower power faeries, they're high tech, underground fae with IT centaurs and police units.⚙️ I loved the originality of the whole setting and the morally ambiguity, because the main character is a bad guy and a 12 years old sociopath. The books follow him over the years as he eventually matures into a somewhat decent person with the grudging help of his faerie connections. 📚 Each book has a really well developed central plot, funny dialogues and cool fancy tech, so the engineer in me loved it. I'd say this is like a lesser known Harry Potter franchise for nerds, so give it a read if that sounds like fun. Have you heard of it before?

I just found this photo by @kcotar for @belesija a I just found this photo by @kcotar for @belesija and got major LARP blues. 😣 Anyway, today's #erraticbookwednesdays recommendation is The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison. This is one of my favourite fantasy novels. It follows the story of a half-goblin unwanted royal son who suddenly finds himself the elvish emperor after his father and brothers are killed in a crash. He's barely educated, utterly unprepared for court life, all its sycophants and loneliness and perhaps the worst of all, he wants to actually be a good ruler. 👑 This book is viciously intelligent, hilarious and absolutely brilliant overall: it has intricate politics, complex characters, a dash of steampunk and an extremely rigid, official courtly culture where everything must be said in the royal we. That gives it a unique flavour and it will soon have you thinking in the majestic plural as well, so all I can say is we approve and you will too! Also, anyone else missing LARPs and other group outdoor activities?
