intro

I'm new to DW and this community and wanted to say HI :)

I'm a person who loves to read but doesn't do it as much as they'd like. But I'm trying to read 12 books this year, let's see how it goes! I just finished the first volume of the Book of Dust trilogy by Philip Pullman and and am now reading the third Emily Wilde book, Compendium of Lost Tales. I've been very much into fantasy and (queer) dark academia lately.

Some of my favourite books are His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman, The Night Ship by Jess Kidd, Witchcraft for Wayward Girls by Grady Hendrix and The Gum Thief by Douglas Coupland. I really wish Douglas Coupland hadn't posted this dumb-as-fuck fanboy article about Melon Husk a few years ago, he used to be one of my favourite authors. But I still love The Gum Thief with all my heart and re-read it every other year or so.

Happy to be here and yap about books :)

PS: Is it even OK to post intros? If not please let me know.

Welcome to dw. :-)

I enjoyed the Emily Wilde series, and thought the last book was a good ending. I hope it reads well for you too.

The author is dead (some of them anyway). XD

I loooove La Belle Sauvage.

I'm curious how you feel about it as a big His Dark Materials fan. They're some of my favorite books - my icon is me with my dæmon - but I think I like La Belle Sauvage even better.
