why we’re all escaping to fantasy & the middle ages again

Описание: today we are discussing my favourite latest trend: medievalcore! just like in the romantic period and the 60s medieval revival, swords and armor are in fashion again. Is it just escapism, or is there more resistance to fantasy than we think? we'll talk about renaissance faires, lord of the rings, 60s fashion and more!

Hi! My name is Leonie and I am a 25 year old girl from the Netherlands who loves talking about books! From YA to non-fiction to classics, I read it all (although fantasy will always be my fave).
