A vanishing girl.
An ex-pirate boy.
A cursed minstrel.
When the sun doesn’t set one day, three unlikely strangers must work together to prevent the destruction of space and time.

@RyanRaeHarbuck Hot take: I feel the term “magical realism” got popularized by people who didn’t want to admit to reading (low) fantasy. Paddington Bear falls into the definition of magical realism, but isn’t highbrow enough to be accepted by it.

@dianasween13 @PSLiterary I would love to see fanart of the movie characters doing book character things. Like when Sophie throws a bucket of weed-killer at Howl.

I watched the first episode of Locke & Key last night, and as someone who has had to remove/cover mirrors on occasion due to irrational fears…boy, was I unprepared 😅

@carolinejtrulit Girls of Atomic City by Denise Kiernan and The Wolf by Richard Guilliatt gave me the same sense of being really well researched but also very accessible.

14 yo Sasha dreams of being an elite mercenary. But when feuding gods threaten to destroy space and time, Sasha must use her talents to stop them...even if no one believes in her.
