This is a young adult book, and isn’t explicitly set in Newford, but very well could be. There are two teenagers as the protagonists: TJ – whose parents lost all their money, and had to move to the city to get new jobs, meaning they gave up the farm, and the horse […]

The frame for this collection of short stories is utterly genius. I mean, I liked Ursula K. Le Guin anyway, but I think this book cemented my love for her. She came up with this book while bored to death in airports. The idea is that you attain such a state utter

The first Craic sock is done. I’m liking the pattern – definitely falls into the challenging enough to remain interesting camp, and once you memorize what each cable detail means in the chart, it’s not too hard, either.

I did change my mind and recast on this Tess’ Designer sock yarn into Craic Socks, by Hannah Six. I really wasn’t feeling the Netherfield socks. These have been going much better – I love a good cable.
Anyone with any Talent on the entire planet of Altair heard when the Child was the only survivor of a mud slide in her mining village. Her anguished mental screams led them to her. Unable to narrow down exactly who her parents were, she was simple known as The Rowan, after the mining company, and

I decided I had to bite the bullet and finish out the second book of the Talent Saga, to see if it held up as well (or not, really) as the last had. Fortunately, this book was written a good twenty plus years after To Ride Pegasus, and holds up much better than that one
