Massive Tale Witch

Ceux qui aiment les livres aiment leur odeur. Celle du papier neuf comme celle du livre ancien et poussiéreux. C'est un fugace souvenir olfactif qui nous ramène au plaisir d'avoir déniché un livre magnifique après avoir flâné le regard acéré entre toutes ces étagères pleines. Un titre, une couleur et une promesse d'histoire accroche notre regard puis notre cœur. En fermant les yeux et en ouvrant ces pages, on inspire. En plus du regard et du cœur, tout le reste s'éveille. On nous dit que le livre dématérialisé ne fonctionne pas trop en France. Peut-être parce la liseuse au fond gris et morne n'appel aucun sens au souvenir. Le goût des choses passent par leur odeur. Les fraises comme les livres. 👩🏽‍💻📚🧚‍♀️ #mesamisleslivres #lire #livre #lesgensheureuxlisentetboiventducafé #eowynivey Image : Extrait de ma nouvelle trouvaille "Au bord de la terre glacée" d'Eowyn Ivey.

I’m so glad I got this pic yesterday, because I woke up today to pouring rain! UGH! I was really hoping to get more snow but I guess I’m stuck waiting for a while longer 😭💙🌧 . . . #bookishbitchblog #books #reading #thesnowchild #eowynivey #winter #bookworm #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #wampwamp #alaska #wheresthefuckingsnow https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqn3up8n31u/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17vraeo6k6jeu

@kleff34 and I strolled through Barnes & Noble during lunch laughing at all the books we buy on a whim, that eventually end up tucked in a corner somewhere. One of those books we both fawned over, probably a year ago now, was The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey. Tonight I spotted it on my shelves and thought I’d read the first page to see what her writing is like. Around 8 pages later this passage had me sinking into myself, the way one does when they’ve had a good long day, and they’re finally home. #thesnowchild #eowynivey #bookstagram #alaska https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn-PDgznETF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=m2pe5oflppug

My top reads for 2017. The North Water by Ian McGuire, To the Bright Edge of the World by Eowyn Ivey, A Death at Fountain’s Abbey by Antonia Hodgson, and Beauty in Thorns by @kate_forsyth_ Have you read them? What were your best 2017 reads? #thenorthwater #ianmcguire #tothebrightedgeoftheworld #eowynivey #adeathatfountainsabbey #antoniahodgson #beautyinthorns #kateforsyth #books #reading #bookstagram #instabooks #fiction #historicalfiction #histfic

This issue of Bella Grace might be one of my most treasured for the lionhearted words of a dear friend. And Amazon has opened up a bookstore. This novel was the result. I picked up Eowyn Ivey's, The Snow Child earlier this year and have not gotten a chance to read it. I saw this and had to snap it up as well. She has the most fascinating premises and dreamy writing. This one's set in the latter of one of my fave eras. Guess! #bookstagram #eowynivey #bellagracemagazine

This book has good reviews, positive quotes on the front like "spellbinding" and was a Pulitzer Prize Finalist, apparently. I didn't get what the fuss was about. I found the book well written and considered but boring and predictable. Half way to three quarters of the way through I was ready to give up because the ending was obvious. I liked the premise of the story but there was no exploration of the magic or spiritual side of the story. It flitted between fairy tale and reality which, for me, delivered neither convincingly. Not my favorite read but not terrible. ⭐⭐/5
