Join the cool kids for the annual Real Time Read of A Discovery of Witches by Deb Harkness. Most libraries have eBook copies to loan, but there are two versions of the audiobook, once condensed and one unabrigded. You'll need the unabridged for the real time read. Its just one chapter today, so you can catch up on Saturday if you need time to get a copy of the book somewhere.

Matthew Goode vs. A Black Panther

(🔊sound on)

A Goode fan on Twitter (layna_lane) attended one of the Blackbird Oracle promo tour events and reported back some of the lovely and interesting things Deborah Harkness said about Matthew Goode.

She said what drew her to casting Matthew was the way he moved - like a panther.

I agree, Matthew's way of moving and walking is very feline and in Discovery of Witches I thought it was breathtaking to see him portray an apex predator (vampire). I loved all these animalistic traits he gave his character, mesmerising to watch.

So this inspired me do make this video showcasing Matthew de Clermont/Roydon next to a beautiful black panther (I know deep doen MdC is a wolf lol).

This would not have been possible without the gorgeous footage from James Chandler on YT 🙏.

The other things Layna reported Deb said was that she was glad Matthew was cast, he has now become her MdC, and that he is kind, smart and funny (no surprise there but it's always nice to hear confirmation he is a wonderful human being).

The moment when Matthew shaves off his 1590′s style beard and settles back into 21st century mode.  ‘The Book of Life’ Chapter 6. 

Thanks to @asgoodeasgold​ for reminding me about the Real Time Read of ‘The Book of Life’ by Deborah Harkness.  I missed the start!  Here’s the calendar from Deb -

10 Books

Thank you, @schmem14 for the tag. 

10 books to get to know me!

1. Forever by Pete Hamill

This an imperfect but beautiful story about a man granted eternal life is he stays on the island of Manhattan. Lovely writing style, and great New York history,

2. Summer Sister by Judy Blume

A long, complicated female friendship with a great cast of supporting characters. I’ve loved this one for such a long time. 

3. All Souls Trilogy by Deb Harkness

A witch and a vampire fall in love and all hell breaks loose. Rich in historical details and a strong, memorable cast of characters. What’s not to love?

4. The Omnivore’s Dilemma

A thoughtful exploration of the American diet and how food is made/distributed.

5. Angels in America

I loved seeing the play and the movie, but there was something about reading this play that stuck with me. The story and dialogue are gorgeous. 

6. Simon Vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda

A YA book about drama kid Simon and his coming out journey. It’s sweet, poignant and really fun. 

7. Night by Elie Weisel

This book packs such a punch in so few pages. An honest, moving, thoughtful account of Elie’s experience in Auschwitz during the Holocaust.

8. The Outsiders by SE Hinton

I read this book so many times as I was growing up. It’s such a great story of friendship and found family and survival in the face of class differences and turf wars.

9. The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett

This one is such a lovely story of healing and friendship. I really loved it when I was a kid and I still love it now.

10. Little Women by Louisa May Alcott

I feel like there was a time when reading Little Women was a rite of passage. I don’t know if that’s still the case, but this story was popular for a long time for a reason.

I will leave this as an open tag since I’ve seen this around a bunch.

FERNANDADDY IS THE NEW DE CLERMONT REPRESENTATIVE AND IM SCREAMING IN JOY

[asgoodeasgold]

What beautiful edits, I can sense all these ancient smells. Deb Harkness has given a truly wondrous world.

⬆️ Fan Photo Collage using extract from A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness and stills from the TV Show

My favourite book in the whole world. Ever.

I was out and about yesterday and found a well-loved copy of ‘A Discovery of Witches’ in the local train station book swap.

⬆️ A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness (p175)

Part of me wanted to leave it for someone else to discover the absolute magic (literal and figurative) of it; part of me was delighted with the connective sign from the universe and part of me grabbed it with both hands as I’ve lent my copy out and am really missing it. I delved into it straight away and got wonderfully lost for the entire train journey.

To celebrate, I edited together a little extract (p175), just for fun, which tries to capture the delectable sensory overload to be found in the writing and the show itself. Can’t really put into words how much I love it.

Matthew Goode is in Los Angeles right now. Teresa Palmer is in Los Angeles. Deb Harkness is in Los Angeles. Their schedules probably don’t allow them to get together, and we might not ever know if they did, but I feel like there is a group chat happening with these three that is more than likely quite crude and hilarious.

Deb Harkness writing a book 5 for All Souls series is the HIGHLIGHT of my day

[sliebman10]

number 5, 38 and 44 for the book asking game!

hope you’re having a lovely day<3

Hello! Thanks for the ask.

5. something in fiction that reads like poetry

The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo is written both in prose and verse, and is a beautiful coming of age story. You can't always tell where the verse ends and the prose begins because the fusion is so seamless.

38. your favorite series

Besides the obvious? lol. I do love HP but my other favorite series is The All Souls Trilogy by Deb Harkness. Diana, an accomplished historian and witch meets Matthew, a vampire and bond over a mysterious manuscript. There's magic, science, history, vampires and a love story. What more could we want?

44. your favorite fantasy novel

Hmm, I don't know if I really read straight up fantasy. I tend to read realistic stories with fantasy elements, if that makes sense. But the aforementioned All Souls Trilogy is a favorite, and is Carry On by Rainbow Rowell. That one also has magic and vampires. I think you can sense a trend.
