Down Among the Sticks and Bones – Seanan McGuire

1 Comment / At Home, Reading / Megan

I am very quickly becoming very impressed with this author – she’s written what could be an incredibly dark story with such gorgeous language that it transcends the darkness. Jack and Jill are twins being jammed into roles planned by parents who know nothing about raising children, when they find their way through a door […]

The Physicians of Vilnoc – Lois McMaster Bujold

1 Comment / At Home, Reading / Megan

It’s a measure of how much I trust this author that I read a story of hers about a plague. Because I can safely say that for the most part, too soon. (I have Connie Willis’ The Doomsday Book sitting in my TBR pile, and though I have heard nothing but good things about it,

Night Walked Down

Embroidery Notes

At Home, Embroidery / Megan

I’ve got another panel done on Night Walked Down – it’s one of the bottom panels, which are probably less than half the size of the top panels, but it’s still one page! (This is another shot across my knees so I could keep stitching.)

Ninth House – Leigh Bardugo

1 Comment / At Home, Reading / Megan

Alex Stern was a teenage junky falling further and further into a terrible life, until the day that she woke up from a binge, with several people, including her very best friend, dead around her, not remembering anything that happened. And in the hospital, a dean from Yale arrived to give her a spectacular opportunity.

Seasons of the Storm – Elle Cosimano

1 Comment / At Home, Reading / Megan

I had a really hard time finishing this book, for no particularly good reason. If I really had to nail something down, I think it was just a little bit too much teenage angst for me. The books goes between a couple different viewpoints – primarily Jack and Fluer. They’re both Seasons – young people
