Arrows of the queen

Great high fantasy series. Does such a good job world building and putting characters in genuinely interesting circumstances. Plus, there’s like 20 books so you can stay in the world.

One Dark Window/Two twisted crowns

With your interest in whimsy and YA fiction I would highly recommend Shepherd King Duology by Rachel Gillig. I flew through these books they were so engaging and had a really interesting magic system and a plot that doesn’t follow the standard “chosen one” you see in a lot of fantasy.

His dark Materials

The best of the big children's fantasy books. Reread the series recently and got even more out of it as an adult.

Becky’s Grandma

I’ve been hanging out a lot with my best friend’s grandma. She’s really great. She lets me come to her church and play the organ there. We have coffee, and she recently showed me all her textile art pieces. We listened to the Beethoven cello sonata  (A major) she is requesting for her funeral. She’s strong, creative, quick witted and stands up for me when other members of the congregation don’t want me to play the organ. -May

Sony Mic’n Micro m-100mc (micro cassette corder).

This object recently came into my life. I found it on my dad’s shelf and had a listen through. It was a “conversation” between my dad and my (then) baby sister, learning to speak. I’d never been transported to another time like that before, it was like I was in the room, a feeling no photo or video had ever given me. In that moment I realised the importance of audio documentation. I’ve made a decision to record interactions on this device for the foreseeable - until it dies I suppose. -Tyler

eBay Kinder toys

This band is called the Siesta Singers. I collected them from the insides of chocolate eggs from 2004-2005, but lost contact with them in the years since. Recently, I decided to track them down and found they could be sent to my door for a reasonable £6.20. I can’t tell if they are exactly the same guys, but they still play in time when you press down on their hats. I heartily recommend reconnecting with old gizmos and friends. -Luke
