Day 27 - Book you read every year
Maybe not every year, but most years, around the time of the winter solstice, I find myself gravitating toward rereading The Dark is Rising by Susan Cooper.

At a time like this, I take comfort in re-reading old favorites. Do you do the same? “This night will be bad. Tomorrow will be beyond all imagining.” I can easily draw parallels to the way I’m feeling now. (link in comments) @SusanCooper #thelostlands #fantasy #winter Recommendation: bit.ly/49aEqAX

Happy 90th birthday #SusanCooper! One of my favourites since I stumbled across The Dark is Rising box-set in a bookshop [in San Fransisco?] around my 9th birthday. To celebrate we're watching 'Dark Encounter' after @likewinterblue.bsky.social saw this - wyrdbritain.blogspot.com/2018/02/dark...

#OverSeaUnderStone by #SusanCooper is a 1965 childrens mystery that would be categorized as middle grade today. The book has some charm within the children's sense of wonder but has dated stereotypical dialogue and structure.

Doing a lot of comfort reading lately. Struck yesterday by this passage from #SilverOnTheTree, part of #TheDarkIsRising sequence by #SusanCooper. Sorry for the lack of photo quality 😆

If there's anyone with children who wants something other than Harry Potter to read with their children, I highly recommend #TheDarkisRising series by #SusanCooper.
It's the series that introduced me to fantasy. It also has a boy who one day finds out he is far more than he ever thought.

Fire on the mountain shall find the harp of gold
Played to wake the Sleepers, oldest of the old.
Power from the Green witch, lost beneath the sea;
All shall find the light at last, silver on the tree.

Probably the reason why I did not borrow this from the library as a child! Love the story as a mature adult now (just read for the first time). #ScaryBookCovers

Fantasiaklassikko. Susan Cooperin "Pimeä nousee" -sarjan (1965-77) päätösosa. Suomennos (erinomaisia) vasta 1979-81. Kaksi ensimmäistä osaa loistavia ("Yllä meren, alla kiven" ja "Pimeä nousee"). Vain tämä päätösosa on jäänyt kirjahyllyyn. #SusanCooper #TheDarkisRising #SilverontheTree
