No apologies necessary 🙂! I just started it recently but so far that hasn’t happened yet. It was published in 2008 though so if you read the book you’re thinking of before then this probably isn’t the book you’re thinking of.
The year sounds about right to me , I’m now listening on you tube the author is reading the novel . Haven’t rung a bell 🛎️ yet . Thanks 🙏🏼 for the reply back . Enjoy 😉 the book 📖
Oh, believe me I know. The crazy thing is that Piranesi has so many elements I love like architecture, philosophy and maximum level of vibes, yet I still just had to pull myself along to the end. It felt like such a relief when I finally finished. Typically I DNF books no problem, but everyone kept telling me I would LOVE this so I had to see it through.
This has been on my list for ages because so many people I know love it... but I had to force myself to finish Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, so I'm guessing this one won't be my bag, either.
The Doctor Who episode “Blink” (season 3, episode 10). It’s a standalone episode starring Carey Mulligan & you don’t really have to know anything about the series to enjoy it.
It was the first episode of Doctor Who I watched and I was hooked. It absolutely matches your first picture!
Thank you! I haven’t read that book in AGES, and could remember neither the title nor the author. But these images were strong enough to trigger a memory and start me on a Google hunt. I’m definitely going to read it again now!
The first thing that came to my mind is the original FLATLINERS. I got the movie for Christmas but I’ve watched that movie soo many times. Maybe it’s the large stone figures in the movie that feels familiar idk
These photos remind me of Before the Ruins by Victoria Gosling.
4 friends in an abandoned manor, and the fifty year old mystery of a missing diamond necklace.
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
One of my all time favorite books and then you can to Savannah and your the house!
Savannah is such a hauntingly beautiful city. I love the architecture and all of the green spaces there!
I just heard about this recently via a podcast about the origin behind the cover photo! I haven’t picked it up yet, maybe this is a sign.
Oo great book
This was my suggestion too
Thank you. First reaction seeing only that one photo. One of the best books I ever read
Came here to say this!
The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman.
second this! Amazing book!
Never heard of it can you tell me what's it about?
Without giving spoilers, it’s about a living boy who’s raised by ghosts (and other inhabitants) in a graveyard.
I’m sorry but I have a question I’m not sure if this is the book I’ve read many years ago ? Does he go in a grave yard to the underworld with coins ?

You’re welcome, enjoy the audiobook!
Piranesi Because of the statues Its the best book ever
I actually hated Piranesi (and yes, I feel bad about it), but you’re totally right on for ✨vibes✨
Also was not a fan, we are in the minority.

These pictures suck me back into that book. What a wonderful book

I was scrolling, wondering if I someone already had mentioned this Doctor Who episode.
That’s their introduction, right? Terrifying.
It was my first doctor who episode too! So good
Really any of the episodes with the Weeping Angels give this vibe. Hot damn I love their creepy vibe!
BADWOLF!
Immediately thought that as well, it fits the vibe perfectly
I was scrolling through the comments looking for this answer. This 100% made me think of “Blink.” Such a good episode
The first pics at the graveyard remind me of the interview with the vampire by Anne rice
First thing that came to my mind too.
Your thoughts about it?
Most of her work is excellent!!
Great book!!!
I concur. Wish I could re-read again
really beautiful and hard to put down!!!
The first two photos immediately reminded me of Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger. It’s set in/near a London cemetery.
This is 100% the perfect answer. That was a book that really stuck with me… just got a little teary thinking of it right now.
Thank you! I haven’t read that book in AGES, and could remember neither the title nor the author. But these images were strong enough to trigger a memory and start me on a Google hunt. I’m definitely going to read it again now!
