This is companion book to the Kate Daniels series – it’s the story of her best friend, Andrea Nash, coming to terms with the fact that she’s been outed as a werehyena (and a beastkin werehyena at that). There’s a companion Kate Daniels story at the back of the book that tells what’s going on

The book touches on the plant families that are important for agriculture and gardening in temperate zones, though it’ll touch on which ones have cross over into tropical zones. Since I do track the families of the flowers I’m labeling for Wayside Flowers, it’s interesting to me to see how the family relationships are classified

Here’s today’s project. The food forest attached to the community garden has two beautiful elder shrubs. I was out at around 8:00 this morning to beat the heat and humidity. I pulled off 18 heads, and you wouldn’t even know I was there. Making a sugar syrup was not my idea of the
I was so happy this book finally made it into paperback (I am one of those people that attempts to keep all her books in matching editions). The book is advertised as Matthew’s son Marcus’ story, which it is, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much of the current day continuation of Matthew and

This is an interesting little book – it’s about all the languages of Europe. It’s definitely a survey – the author chooses to highlight something interesting or quirky about each language, and you will definitely run into languages you’ve never heard of before. (I’ll admit, as an American, it’s actually kind of hard to grok

For the 10th book in this series, we get to mix things up a bit – Mercy’s off to Europe, but not by choice. No, Mercy’s managed to get herself kidnapped by the king of the vampires of Europe, who’s under the impression that she’s the most powerful person in the Columbia Basin pack, as

Here are the high and low temperature scarves, up through the last day of Spring. I will probably need to buy more yarn for the 40s and 50s colors. (Boy are our low temperatures consistent in Spring.) I’m going to see what happens in the next month or so for the 60s before
I found this book on one of my free and bargain Kindle newsletters. It was written (translated at the very least) at the turn of last century, so I’m guessing it’s in the public domain now. It’s a nice little book. The stories don’t seem very Westernized – they definitely have fairy tale aspects, but

An interesting book about books, libraries and the people that have created libraries, both private and public. I can’t come to a decision as to whether or not it’s a good book. It’s good information, but man is it rambling.

Another skein of yarn kicked through hexipuffs (Malabrigo Sock in Playa). I’m frankly amazed I got three other separate projects out of this skein, and still managed this many puffs.
