Next month is going to be stressful so I tried to pick some comfort options this round. As always, please only vote if you're considering participating. You should be able to vote for more than one option. 1) Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier quote:"Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again. . . " There is a new film version of this Netflix coming out currently, so it's timely. 2) A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson quote:A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail is a 1998 autobiographical book by travel writer Bill Bryson, describing his attempt to walk the Appalachian Trail with his friend "Stephen Katz". The book is written in a humorous style, interspersed with more serious discussions of matters relating to the trail's history, and the surrounding sociology, ecology, trees, plants, animals and people. 3) A Libertarian Walks Into a Bear https://twitter.com/CCriadoPerez/status/1322201136011595776?s=20 4) Harm's Way by Colin Greenland Hieronymous Alloy posted:Just finished a book I can't recommend highly enough; it may turn into my next "Bridge of Birds"-style universal recommendation. Harm's Way by Colin Greenland. One of the most charming female-viewpoint fantasy/sf picaresques I can remember ever reading. Setting is vaguely steampunk, basically wooden ships in outer space. All the characters are empathetic, even the villains; the final villain is masterfully horrible at the same time. Just a great book all around and one I'm amazed I hadn't heard of before. 5) the Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle quote:The Last Unicorn is a fantasy novel by American author Peter S. Beagle and published in 1968, by Viking Press in the U.S. and The Bodley Head in the U.K. It follows the tale of a unicorn, who believes she is the last of her kind in the world and undertakes a quest to discover what has happened to the others.[1] It has sold more than five million copies worldwide since its original publication, and has been translated into at least twenty languages (prior to the 2007 edition). In 1987, Locus ranked The Last Unicorn number five among the 33 "All-Time Best Fantasy Novels", based on a poll of subscribers.[3] The 1998 rendition of the poll ranked The Last Unicorn number 18.[4]
