Started reading Emily Wilde’s Encyclopedia of Faeries last night and I’m getting a really good cozy, winter fantasy vibe so far.

Every reader needs a high tower, quiet grove, or hidden corner where the world falls away and stories come alive.

Just finished Mistborn book 1. So many people raved about it that I worried it couldn’t possibly live up to the hype, but it did. It’s one of those rare books that makes you wonder why you waited so long to read it in the first place. 🪐📚💙
