The Most Magic Corner: Part 1

I might have previously mentioned that Grace Anansi was my favorite magic Townie, but her roommate Tomax became interesting when he hit it off with L. Faba, the Sage of Mischief Magic.

Thomax and L. met in the magic realm, I think, and I'm pretty sure she kicked his ass in a duel. They went on a date to the Romance Festival where they got engaged and married in a whirlwind of passion.

When L. got pregnant, she moved in with Tomax and Grace, and shortly gave birth to her first child, C.

She began a freelance drawing career that didn't quite fit, and later moved into the criminal career track.

L. and Grace started a society for witches, called The Underground.

Her second child, daughter Max, grew up to be best friends with Grace's daughter Juniper.

Because this is my most pureblood magic family, they have some of household rules:

Limited use of technology -- they have a computer and that's it

Can only get married to other magic sims, so that children make the bloodline stronger.

School is a government requirement, not a priority, and college is discouraged.

Careers are ok but learning magic should be a priority.

Never do something by hand if you can do it using magic.

Free time should be spent at home or in the magic realm, practicing skills, not galavanting around.

C. follows the rules to the letter. He spends his teen years studying magic, and immediately marries the lovely Anne Dowling upon becoming an adult. They quickly have twin daughters, Ainsley and Alivia.

Max is more of a rebel, and is continuously sneaking off with Juniper and galavanting around town, looking for cute boys.

Will this traditional family stick to their traditional house rules, or get sucked into the modern world? Stay tuned to find out.

BOOK ASK: NOW ANSWER ALL THE ONES I DIDN'T ANSWER

NO!! but like i mean i shoulda saw this coming i mean

A. Top five favorite books?

Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman

Harry potter and the Order of the Phoenix by good old J.K.

Stardust also by Neil Gaiman

4. Winter by Marissa Meyer

The Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot

B. Favorite (book cos i have waaaay more fav chars than this) character of all time?

Andromeda Tonks from Harry Potter, Hazel Grace Lancaster from The Fault in Our Stars, and Cinder Linh from The Lunar Chronicles; three amazing and very inspirational women that went through major shit in their lives and overcame it.

C. Least favorite ‘good guy’?

Bella from Twilight. She is the worst Protagonist I have ever read in a book *shudders*

D. Favorite villain?

Queen Levana Blackburn was abused physically and mentally her whole life by her older sister (which vaguely reminds me of Klavier’s and Kristoph’s relationship except for the fact that Levana let it get to her and Klavi helped Apollo convict him for the second time.) She internalized it which- I don’t blame at all. Internalized abuse is really hard to overcome.

As I read Fairest, I loved her more and more and Fairest held me over until Winter came out.

It really made me sad that all of the abuse and anger and jealousy Levana felt her whole life towards her sister ended up eating her alive. It’s not that she even started as a bad person. She became obsessed with what people thought of her and with power and keeping the kingdom in her hands. Just so she can say “i was successful and my bitch of a sister fucking died from regolith poisoning and look how strong i am” or other.

There’s more reasons I love Levana. So much more and JUST. just read The Lunar Chronicles series okay

E. Best author?

Neil Gaiman. Hands dowwn

V. Character you would spend a day with?

I’ll give you two. Fred and George Weasley.

W. Harry Potter or twilight? Or neither?

UHHHH HARRY POTTER???

X. Favorite time era for books?

Modern-ish.

Y. Would you ever write a book?

Yes, I hope so.

Z. Recommend?

THE LUNAR CHRONICLES AND NEIL GAIMAN’S ENTIRE LIST OF WORKS PLZ

#BOOK TAG #wordshakerofgallifrey #i've got mail!

Taking the PopSugar reading challenge this year? The LCPL reader’s advisory team has some suggestions. Don’t strain your eyes reading the pictures - we’ve put our suggestions for each category under the cut, plus the suggestions we couldn’t fit between the lines! The person who did the recommending is in parenthesis after the suggestion (just in case you’re a fan of one of us in particular...)

A book recommended by a librarian

Daisy Fay and the Miracle Man by Fannie Flagg (Chris)

A book that’s been on your TBR list for way too long

Obviously we don’t know what’s been on your TBR list for eons, but Chris picked A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving from her own. (Chris)

A book of letters

Ella Minnow Pea by Mark Dunn (Chris) (Seconded! --Rachel)

An audiobook

I Am Half-Sick of Shadows by Alan C. Bradley (Read by the amazing Jayne Entwhistle. --Chris)

A book by a person of color

A Lesson Before Dying by Ernest J. Gaines (Chris)

A book with one of the four seasons in the title

Cheating answer: Before the Fall by Noah Hawley Legit answer (but a children’s book): The Penderwicks: A Summer Tale of Four Sisters, Two Rabbits, and a Very Interesting Boy by Jeanne Birdsall (Chris)

A book that is a story within a story

The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón (Chris) The Princess Bride by William Goldman (Rachel)

A book with multiple authors

An espionage thriller

The Expats by Chris Pavone (Rachel)

A book with a cat on the cover

Into the Wild by Erin Hunter (Christina W) Dewey by Vicki Myron (It’s a cute story --Amy V)

A book by an author who uses a pseudonym

The Cuckoo’s Calling by Robert Galbraith (Chris)

A bestseller from a genre you don’t normally read

So we don’t know what you don’t normally read, but Beth and Robin usually don’t read realistic fiction or superhero comics, respectively. If either of those describes you, give one of these a try: The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian (I normally read fantasy and sci-fi, while this is realistic fiction --Robin) Ms. Marvel by G. Willow Wilson (Beth)

A book by or about a person who has a disability

Me Before You by Jojo Moyes (Chris) (YES! --Beth) (Editor’s note: We understand that the movie portrayal of this novel has been criticized for clumsy handling of a sensitive subject. You may find that the novel handles these issues with more grace, or at least more thoroughness. Either way, books like this one are a good springboard to critical discussion and we encourage everyone to read thoughtfully.)

A book involving travel

This is Your Life, Harriet Chance! by Jonathan Evison (Chris)

A book with a subtitle

Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach (Chris)

A book that’s published in 2017

Girl in Disguise by Greer Macallister (Chris)

A book involving a mythical creature

His Majesty’s Dragon by Naomi Novik (Chris)

A book you’ve read before that never fails to make you smile Again, we can’t say what you’ve read before or what will make you smile, but here’s a great re-read Robin and Chris both suggest:

A Christmas Carol Charles Dickens (Chris) (I recommend listening to Neil Gaiman’s performance of it for extra smiles --Robin)

A book about food

Blood, Bones, and Butter by Gabrielle Hamilton (Rachel)

A book with career advice

The Intern’s Handbook by Shane Kuhn (Chris)

A book from a nonhuman perspective

The Golem and the Jinni by Helene Wecker (Chris)

A steampunk novel

Boneshaker by Cherie Priest (Chris)

A book with a red spine

Eligible by Curtis Sittenfeld (Amy J) The Mangle Street Murders by M.R.C. Kasasian (Chris)

A book set in the wilderness

Never Cry Wolf by Farley Mowat (Chris)

A book you loved as a child We don’t know what books YOU loved as a child, but here’s one Robin loved!

Talking to Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede (Robin)

A book by an author from a country you’ve never visited Chris hasn’t visited Australia! If you have also not visited Australia, this suggestion is for you.

Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty (Chris)

A book with a title that’s a character’s name

Forrest Gump by Winston Groom or Doc by Mary Doria Russell (a novel featuring Wyatt Earp and John Henry "Doc" Holliday --Chris)

A novel set during wartime

Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein (There’s a prequel coming out in 2017. --Amy J) Sarah’s Key by Tatiana de Rosnay (Beth) The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah (Chris)

A book with an unreliable narrator

Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn (Still the best in the genre! --Chris)

A book with pictures

Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs (Chris)

A book where the main character is a different ethnicity than you We don’t know what ethnicity you are, so here are a few options:

African-American Protagonist: The Mothers by Brit Bennett (Chris) ; The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead (Beth) White Protagonist: You probably didn’t really need help finding one of these, but I recommend Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard. It also has an Arab-American, Muslim protagonist. (Robin) Vietnamese-Australian Protagonist: Cloudwish by Fiona Wood (Robin) Chinese-American Protagonist: American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang (JBill)

A book about an interesting woman

Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg by Irin Carmon & Shana Knizhnik (Chris)

A book set in two different time periods

The Book of Speculation by Erika Swyler Chris

A book with a month or day of the week in the title

One of Our Thursdays is Missing by Jasper Fforde (#6 in the Thursday Next series; start with The Eyre Affair --Chris)

A book set in a hotel

A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles (Chris)

A book written by someone you admire

The Long Way Home by Louise Penny (written while her husband was in the final stages of dementia --Chris)

A book that’s becoming a movie in 2017

A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle (Chris)

A book set around a holiday other than Christmas

The Cruelest Month by Louise Penny (set around Easter --Chris)

The first book in a series you haven’t read before

Girl Waits with Gun by Amy Stewart (Chris) In the Woods by Tana French (Rachel) If you happen to have read both these series already, we’d be happy to rec others based on your tastes! Just let us know!

A book you bought on a trip Chances are you didn’t buy this book on a trip, but Chris did, and she recommends Time and Again by Jack Finney (Chris)

ADVANCED:

A book recommended by an author you love

The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher by Kate Summerscale (recommended by author Louise Penny --Chris) If Louise Penny isn’t an author you love, we’re happy to look around at recs from an author you DO love! Just send us the name :)

A bestseller from 2016

Before the Fall by Noah Hawley (Chris)

A book with a family-member term in the title

My Sister Lives on the Mantlepiece by Annabel Pitcher (Chris)

A book that takes place over a character’s life span

The Confessions of Max Tivoli by Andrew Sean Greer (Rachel)

A book about an immigrant or refugee

Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (Chris) Girl in Translation by Jean Kwok (It is fiction but it’s a story of the author’s own story (she immigrated from Hong Kong) --Amy V)

A book from a genre/subgenre that you’ve never heard of

Beauty and the Clockwork Beast Nancy Campbell Allen (steampunk romance --Chris) Possibly you’ve heard of steampunk romance as a subgenre. If yes, let us know, and we’ll dig for something more obscure to help you out.

A book with an eccentric character

Ten Second Staircase by Christopher Fowler (Bryant & May/ Peculiar Crimes Unit #4 ; start with Full Dark House --Chris)

A book that’s more than 800 pages

City on Fire by David Hallberg (Chris) One Rainy Day in May by Mark Z Danielewski (He’s an… unusual author --Amy V)

A book you got from a used book sale Orleans by Sherri L. Smith (Robin) Didn’t buy that particular book at a used book sale? Talk to your library! Most of them have used book rooms with books at ridiculous prices (ours are all under a dollar) so you can find something excellent for this category.

A book that’s been mentioned in another book

Crossing to Safety by Wallace Stegner (One of the many great books mentioned in Will Schwalbe’s The End of Your Life Book Club, which is kind of cheating. --Chris)

A book about a difficult topic

Columbine by Dave Cullen (Chris)

A book based on mythology

Anansi Boys Neil Gaiman (Chris)
