Book Cover: The Name of the Wind

Currently Reading:

The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss

A lyrical, spellbound tale of magic, music, and myth — this is the book we’re curling up with this month. Kvothe’s story is one to savour slowly, like tea in a thunderstorm.

“Words are pale shadows of forgotten names. As names have power, words have power. Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts.”

Why we chose this: It’s a tale full of quiet power and slow-burning magic — the kind of story that rewards gentle evenings, soft lighting, and a warm cup of tea.
