I'm looking forward to Dillard's poetic observations of the natural world in Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains. 2) "Behind the Beautiful Forevers: Life, Death, and Hope in a Mumbai Undercity" by Katherine Boo is a non-fiction work that promises a revealing look into life in a Mumbai slum, offering insights into poverty, inequality, and resilience. 3) "The Ballad of Frankie Silver" by Sharyn McCrumb is part of McCrumb's Ballad series. This novel blends historical fact with fiction, exploring a 19th-century murder case in the Appalachian Mountains.(less)

My main goal would be to uncover and explore the castle's numerous secret passages and hidden rooms. I'd start by sneaking out after curfew, armed with the Marauder's Map (if I could get my hands on it) and my own wand. I'd slide down secret chutes behind tapestries, whisper passwords to statues guarding hidden corridors, and use magic to reveal concealed doorways.(less)
