an inviting and familiar door opens in the forest. the words "be sure" are ornately inscribed in a welcome mat grown whole from dense matted vine and chromatic roses.

of all the places and all the times…

this place had a name to you once, but you have long ago convinced yourself it must have never really happened after all, a distant dream conjured of imagination after… you never did hold onto those intrusive doubts whenever your door had opened to you. after all this time, same as you had left it then, no worse for wear by time nor war.

just as before and before and before, you shed again the weight of doubt and stride confident through. you are sure now as you ever were, as you ever will be again, and though you would never test this, some part of you fears that it would close to you again if you hesitate.

its true name will surely return to you soon, but you remember this place just as it remembers you, and you have always known it too by another inviting and familiar name:

#WelcomeHome.

generated with #MidJourney, inspired by the wonderful #WaywardChildren series of #books by #SeananMcGuire.

been daydreaming a lot over what my own door could look like, and where it could take me.

I’m sure… that I’m building a shed!

Review - Lost in a Moment and Found by Seanan McGuire

Lost in a Moment and Found is written with a sure hand and treats the subject of loss with care and honesty while still telling an enthralling story.
5/5

I finished a book yesterday and *almost* started another and decided against it: it was the right choice, because I just learnt that @seananmcguire has a new Wayward Children out today 🎉​(namely, "Lost in the Moment and Found".)

So it is time for bed, weighted blanket, and a good book.

Ahhh I already have all the individual Wayward Children books but I love the cover of this omnibus edition.

Starting Beneath the Sugar Sky because I somehow started listening to the Wayward Children series out of order.

#Introduction

Hello!

I recently returned to Mastodon after a 5? 6? year break in which my original account disappeared with that server, so I'm starting off fresh.

I'm a neurodivergent librarian who pursued libraries to make my book habit "affordable."

My #sff origin story started in #StarWars (the original trilogy) & #StarTrek as a kid. I don't really do #1 favs, but some recent book series I've loved include #TheExpanse, #WaywardChildren, #Binti, and #LadyAstronaut.
