It’s that time of year again.
No matter what part of the world you hail from, you’ve undoubtedly been affected by the COVID pandemic somehow over the past two years. Be it work, health, time, loved ones, we’ve all lost something during this period.
Let us take something back. Let us be lifted by a narrative where good triumphs over evil and where hope is restored to humanity even if it is mere story. Let our spirits find comfort in a fantasy that has its roots in our current reality and let it be a nostalgic balm for our tired souls.
Whether you prefer the thrilling quest for the grail hidden Over Sea, Under Stone, the chilling atmosphere that permeates The Dark is Rising, the emotional journey of Greenwitch, the brooding suspense of The Grey King, or the wondrous conclusion in Silver on the Tree, each of the five books is a unique thread deftly knitted together to form a vast and rich tapestry that tells a tale of the Light and the Dark.
As we read together, my wish is that you will find something in the words that will bring you a drop of joy, a thrill of hope, a spark of light.
Let the 2021 TDIR Readathon begin.
