From the Dust Returned

Every first Tuesday, our favorite local bookstore hosts Tunesday with a musician‘s circle. You can regularly hear the mountain dulcimer, banjo, tin whistle, guitar, mandolin, harmonica, limberjacks, violin, cello, Chinese erhu, & more!

My favorite part is the Celtic dance & clogging. And the books, of course. This month was also a Wassail celebration. And I drank a literary-themed Blood Meridian cocktail. Anyway, I‘m back now!

monalyisha P.S. I‘m really excited about the weird tagged Bradbury book! The Ernest Cline is my husband‘s. It‘s rare he shows interest in reading something, so of course I snapped it up faster than he could say “Never mind…” 😅 3mo

PathfinderNicole My son is a cellist and he was so excited to point out the cello in the background of your pic 😂 3mo

monalyisha @PathfinderNicole The cello‘s high on my list of instruments I wish I‘d learned how to play as a child! I know it‘s never too late, and my husband *is* a musician…but given my tap-dancing background, I think if I were to learn to play anything in my adulthood it‘d be drums. Or the aquaphone! That last part‘s sort of a joke and sort of not. 😅 3mo

monalyisha Disclaimer: I‘m home but I have IRL (virtual) book club. We‘re meeting about the tagged. More matches after the discussion‘s done!

BarbaraJean I have a copy of that same edition of the weird tagged Bradbury book! And I bumped it up on the TBR after my IRL book club read October Country and I learned that two of the stories in it connect with the characters in “From the Dust…” Although by “bumped it up on the TBR” I mean I might maybe read it in 2025 😂 3mo

monalyisha @BarbaraJean See? This is why I matched us! Including that “bumped it up” logic. 😆 3mo

Chelsea.Poole This looks and sounds so cozy! Our library hosts Acoustic Night twice a month on Tuesdays also. 3mo

monalyisha @Chelsea.Poole That‘s a fun thing to do! Send me the website? (edited) 3mo

BarbaraJean @monalyisha Yessss! Compatible TBR logic is an important Auld Lang Spine match consideration. I must add: I also own that same edition of Bird by Bird. Also still unread. 😂 Also also: my husband is a musician and would have loved that musician's circle! Once upon a time I checked Armada out of the library for him because he loved Ready Player One. I think he read it and liked it. Hope your husband enjoys it! 3mo

I read this between Mar 17 & May 20. And I rated it 4.5 ⭐️. Reading this book is like being in a fever dream. While there are similarities to other famous monster families like The Munsters and The Addams, there is less humour and more of Bradbury‘s talent for storytelling that pulls the reader in.

Yuki_Onna @Aaronlisa That cover looks AWESOME! 5y

Aaronlisa @Yuki_Onna it is a pretty cool cover 5y

Not a fan of this book. This house attracts a bunch of immortals, eventually it gets burned down. There is an ancient mummy and an abandoned human newborn. Didn‘t find it that interesting personally.

In the happy accident department, I think I got a signed copy from a used seller. I was just looking for a reading copy.

“Would you not admit, child, that forty billion deaths are a great wisdom, and those forty billion who shelve under the earth are a great gift to the living so that they might live?” Happy Halloween!!!!!

I love October and the beauty that it brings - the changing leaves, the cooler temperatures, the earlier eves, the changing light, the deceptive heat of the sun, the chill to your bones that the earth is changing. It is a time for rituals and finding the new within them. So I return to a classic: Bradbury.If I could, I would live every day for the rest of my life in October....

"Ask her to yank your soul like an aching tooth & shoot it into clouds to cool your spirit, & yanked you were, drawn high to drift in the mists. Ask her to seize that same soul & bind it in the flesh of a tree, & you awoke the next morning with birds singing in your green head. Ask to be pure rain and you fell on everything."
Cecy is my favorite.
