Well my fine faeries and lovely unicorns, it’s about time I made a confession.
I. Have been living. Under a rock.
It is the only possible explanation.
PHILIP PULLMAN IS PUBLISHING A NEW TRILOGY

I would be embarrassed and heartbroken if I wasn’t so excited.

WHAT WHAT WHAT.
How can I be so blind I didn’t know about this!
I GREW UP with His Dark Materials. They are one of the favorite books of my childhood, ones that I’ve carried in five different moves, that have careworn covers and wrinkled pages.
I am so excited.
Do you know how unlikely it is that a childhood favorite author will come back and write more of the story?
Be still, my beating heart.
I demand to know more of Mrs. Coulter and Lord Asriel.
Oo! Oo! And Serafina Pekkala.
Everyone. Just… everyone. I’M SO EXCITED GUYS!
La Belle Sauvage comes out on October 19, 2017 and is available for preorder through Amazon & Barnes & Noble.
Can’t Wait Wednesday
Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read. Generally they’re books that have yet to be released. Find out more here.
Speak to me, my lovelies!
Have you read HIS DARK MATERIALS? Who was your favorite character (Will, obviously)? AM I THE ONLY ONE HERE SUPER EXCITED FOR THIS? Tell me everything. <3
I really want to read the original series. I’m thinking it might be a good one to start around the holidays. I loved the movie.
The movie took a lot of liberties from the book. I personally enjoyed the books more, but they were a bit controversial (at least when I originally read them) so I understand the changes. I hope you enjoy them when you pick them up!
This is completely new to me, but I do like the sounds of it. Great pick.

I’ve never finished His Dark Materials *slaps own wrist* but I’ve been planning to and this has gotten me all excited for it. Great choice!
