saw this thread and really loved it but what i liked most is that it taught this kid that if a book isn’t for you, even if you really want to like it, it’s okay to stop reading it and come back to it another time when you are ready. there were so many books i slogged through as a kid because i felt like i had to prove that i could read them since i *loved* reading so i simply had to finish this book or i didn’t actually love to read. silly, really. the more kids who don’t ascribe to that thinking the better. really great of both the dad and the librarian for giving the kid access to the stephen king book and allowing him make the decision on whether or not it was for him by himself.

Don’t get me wrong, I love the dreamy fairytale-ness of the Ghibli movie version of Howl’s Moving Castle, but the book. The book. Sophie, first off, being so incredibly set on being the boring un-gifted un-adventuresome eldest daughter (as is right and fitting for an eldest daughter to be) that she doesn’t notice she’s working magic, like, constantly? And when a witch shows up like “hey girlie you are fully working SO much magic that I’m feeling threatened, so like I’m gonna put you in the old lady dimension ciao,” she’s like well. That was weird. Anyway I guess I better go find something to do as an old lady. And she reasons that this famously evil sorcerer who eats young girls’ hearts is probably safe for her now cause like. She’s old. What’s he gonna do to me. And proceeds to bully her way into becoming his cleaning lady. And Howl, known flaky whimsical fuckboy extraordinaire, is like sure okay I guess that works for me. And just as well because it turns out he’s also a fucking bottom who kinda digs this strong stubborn lady who’s steamrolled her way into his life, kinda weird that she’s disguised as an old woman but w/e he’s not gonna question her life choices and like it’s not actually a problem for him, and by the time Sophie’s figured out that oh crap oh shit she’s actually kinda into this flighty asshole, what am I gonna do, he’d never return my feelings in a hundred years, Howl’s basically accepted that they’re mostly married. And also how can you top “my extremely powerful and slightly fey wizard is just a Welsh grad student who wandered into a portal one day” for a character concept. You can’t. It’s the perfect book really

I like stories where a normal human child is being raised by a sinister supernatural being who is totally malevolent except when it comes to their kid. Those are so much better than the “kids are scary” changeling type horror movies.

Did I daydream this, or was there a website for writers with like. A ridiculous quantity of descriptive aid. Like I remember clicking on " inside a cinema " or something like that. Then, BAM. Here's a list of smell and sounds. I can't remember it for the life of me, but if someone else can, help a bitch out <3
