queensthiefMy last post of the year! Thank you, all who joined us this last summer for our first WSK Bookclub read, The Squire's Tales series by Gerald Morris, as well as the celebration of the first anniversary of Return of the Thief.
Our plans to read and discuss Diana Wynne Jones's magical Howl's Moving Castle series will commence on Monday, January 3rd. You have two weeks to read the first in the series, Howl's Moving Castle, and watch the 2004 Studio Ghibli movie adaptaion if you want, which will probably be apart of the discussion. (If you watch the movie, watch it in Japanese--if you're able. It's so much better!Don't talk to me about Christian Bale!)
The chat to discuss the novel will be held in the Conspiracy Room on Sunday, January 16th at 6pm CT. We will probably be playing "spot the QT quote" so bring you highlighters! Unless, you're reading from a library book...
See HERE for a full schedule of the Bookclub meetings. If you've never read the Howl's Moving Castle series, I cannnot reccomend it enough for QT fans. Reading some of Diana Wynne Jones's work is a wonderful way to ring in the New Year!
While you wait for the clock to strick midnight, have some nostalgic 1986 fantasy cover art. How times have changed...
And have some other fun stuff:
(1) Check out this Howl's Moving Castle ambiance room with piano music from the movie. I may've or may not have already started reading the book, and this provides some wonderful reading ambiance and music.
(2) A wonderful review of the movie and book by Noralities that discusses some very interesting history of the movie's development.
(3) Watch an artist alter the HMC character designs to better match the descriptions in the.book.
(4) Also, Howl and Sophie as Vines if you need a good laugh! XD (Warning for some adult language.)
Happy New Year,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
