Day 23

Autumn books would be?

The Bartimaeus Trilogy, particularly The Golem's Eye. All of them are wintry, but a bit too vivid...

I said Patricia McKillip's books, but of note particularly is The Forest of Serre and Od Magic

The Perilous Gard

(ahem:



The Dancing Tree! Fanart Yarn for Perilous Gard! also, I got some new pictures)

 

Day 24

And winter is the best time for books (unless they have too much ice in them), so what kind say winter to you?

I Capture The Castle--just spare enough a whole run of seasons stay in the cold that set the tone for the beginning. It's Gothic feel in the storyline helps loads...

Jane Eyre, for the same reason. There is a Spartan edge to the whole of the world surrounding the characters, though the high-feeling of the MCs contrasts--it's the contrast that makes it stand out.

The Hobbit for a different one: it feels much like being drawn close to a fireplace, the outside dark but inside warm and cozy in sweaters and lapblankets with tea.
