I just finished reading this gorgeous Folio Society edition of Howl’s Moving Castle. It was a delightful read - such a cute story with a fun mix of traditional fairytale tropes and unexpected twists. While the majority of the action happens toward the end of the book, it was still engaging throughout and a quick read, so I think it would be a good choice for an easy read to get over a reading slump. Now I need to watch the movie! And read the sequels! (I wish I could afford to get them in the matching beautiful editions 😅)
