I still love this author’s use of language – she reminds me of Patricia McKillip – her landscape descriptions are amazing. I loved the first trilogy of hers that I read. I’m finding this series a bit more of a slog. The series is basically the story of the descendants of […]

The sky scarf is now officially half done. (It really is, because I haven’t yet touched it in July.) It is pretty funny, because you can really see that June was grayer than May. I realized I’m going to have to order more white, and more of the medium blue (which has become
