It’s #InMyKitchen Thursday. (Whaddya mean you didn’t know?). Any #moomin #moomintroll #tove fans out there? Still thinking about the #sevenbooks thing (yeah, another hashtag) but Moomintroll Midwinter will be included. What’s in yours right now?

Seven books to get to know me:

Le Petit Prince by Antoine de St Exupery
The Triggering Town by Richard Hugo
A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K Leguin
Born to Run by Christopher McDougall
Why We Run by Bernd Heinrich
A History of God by Karen Armstrong
Watership Down by Richard Adams

All of those books have been fairly influential upon where I am now in my thoughts and life. I very much feel that Le Petit Prince is an allegory of #neurodivergence in an nt world.

I don't think there is a seven book list that would allow one to get to know me? I feel like it would change by the day? That being said, here's the list for today.
The Unseen World by Liz Moore
How to Be Both by Ali Smith
The Tsar of Love and Techno by Anthony Marra
1Q84 by Haruki Murakami
Mr Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan
The Elegance of the Hedgehog Muriel Barbery
The Sandman series by Neil Gaiman

#sevenbooks
1) The Little Broomstick by Mary Stewart. It totally colonised my imagination when I read it as a child.
2) The Lord of the Rings by J R R Tolkien
3) Villette by Charlotte Brontë. Hallucinatory depiction of mental health issues. Weird and beautiful, painful and funny.
4) Jane Austen's novels. Mansfield Park is my current favourite, but it varies.
5) Riddley Walker by Russell Hoban. So fucking good that I've never reread it in case I ruin it, and I'm an inveterate rereader.
