Autumn has always been favourite season, mostly for the colours. While I love the vibrant streaks of reds and yellows, it’s also the woodsiness of the season that I adore. Sadly, autumn doesn’t visit this part of the world that I live in. Instead we battle with monsoon seasons and El Niño. On the upside, the temperatures don’t fluctuate as much, so summer clothes are appropriate all year round.
Mise-en-scène: Genre
Fantasy is a genre that I’m fairly new to. For most of my life I almost exclusively read contemporary fiction. It’s only a couple of years ago that my genre tastes turned eclectic. It was when I discovered the online book community (review sites, book blogs & booktube) that I found myself becoming anchored more in fantasy\y. Since then my bookshelves have come to house a vast selection of fantasy books as well.
Mise-en-scène: Thirst Quencher
My favourite drinks are apple juice, grape juice and tea. Once in a while I turn to a different sort of thirst quencher. I hardly ever drink soft drinks but I am kinda partial towards chilled ginger beer. It’s so wonderfully refreshing on a hot day—perfect for sitting on the balcony and reading a book. Sometimes I grab a coffee, usually cold but occasionally hot to add some cheer to rainy Monsoon days.
Mise-en-scène: Childhood Favourite
My childhood favourite is Die Wilden Hühner by Cornelia Funke. I adored this book as a child and it’s the only book I re-read several times when I was younger. Most of the time I would read a book and be done with it. Re-reading books bored me — though not so with Die Wilden Hühner.
Mise-en-scène: Feminism
Too often I’ve heard people yearning for equality reject feminism. This is why I’m so glad that Sharon Biggs Waller wrote A Mad, Wicked Folly. Set during the suffragette movement it reminds us of times when women were subjected to men and didn’t have a voice. It reminds us that feminism is important to hold onto — the ideals of equality between both women and men.
