More Books

One of the 'fun' things about following people on social media is that you learn of things you might never have known about.

There are several authors I follow on Bluesky, and since I enjoy the writing of Guy Gavriel Kay, I always take notice when he recommends a book by someone else.  Generally he hasn't steered me wrong.  So when he mentioned this book this morning, I took note.  Then I went to my local bookstore and saw it was in pre-order and they would take an order for the book and let me know when it arrived in November.

Now,  I know nothing about this author, I've never read any of his other books, but a book using weaving as a metaphor?  

Count me in!  And if I feel like reading it once was enough, I can always donate it to the guild library.

I have not heard of the term 'powsels' before, but I surely know exactly what 'thrums' are!  And tales from a 'creative life'?  Yes, please.

And while I'm at it, I'll remind y'all about Stories from the Matrix, which is available as usual at the blurb website

And if you are interested in what it took for me to make weaving my career, the pdf of A Thread Runs Through It is still available on my ko-fi shop.  Blurb is a US company and their books are printed in the US, so no tariffs for US customers.  For non-NA customers, they tend to print locally to save on shipping, etc.

In the meantime I have Martin Walker's latest Bruno book with Laurie R King's latest waiting for me to pick it up.  I'm trying to get further into Walker's book before I collect King's.
