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, […]

This is the last book in the series about Herald Mags’ children – in this case, his youngest son Tory is off for an adventure with his best friend, Prince Kyril, to help out Mags’ cousin who leads the Sleepgivers. Bey’s daughter has disappeared, and he needs help to find her. I enjoyed this story

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.)
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.

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

The second sheet from the Nights Walks Down pattern is done. (This is totally draped over my knees because I just wanted to keep going – no fancy picture taking for me!)
Hit my first definite nope in the shrubbery beside the driveway. This is privet, which is non native, and therefore not something I’ll keep. So after work on Thursday, I pulled out all the privet and the rest of what I could get of the multiflora rose. That does still leave the maple sapling in
This story is a combination of Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Mulan (per the blurbs at least – I see where they wanted to go with that, but I don’t agree). It’s an interesting concept. Bristal is an elicromancer – a now rare type of immortal that should be helping the mortals. The other two elicromancers

This is as complete as this garden should be for a while – I’ve planted all the remaining seedlings, and am not missing anything I wanted to get. Here’s the herb garden, and the insane dahlia experiment. The herb garden will not be as big as I planned. I just didn’t get the bed laid
This is the Seaspray shawl, by Andrea Rangel. I’m using JaggerSpun Zephyr Wool-Silk yarn in the Ruby colorway. This is for a dear friend – might be a wedding shawl, or might be just a shawl, because I know she’ll love it either way. (The wedding is delayed enough with Covid that no colors have
