Powsels & Thrums Hb

Yesterday's #BookHaul from Bookends in Keswick.

Two essay collections from beloved authors:
Garner's reminiscences on a creative life ends with the word "Finis", and it feels like it will read as an elegiac swansong from a writer we're lucky enough to still have creating in his 90s.
Le Guin's book begins with 1979's Space Crone, about the then (and still now) taboo subject of the menopause.
Then two creepy short story collections: ?

Bookwomble Celia Fremlin's book has such a striking cover, it drew my interest, and she sounds like a fascinating person. If this is as good as intimated, I may look for other books by her.
Lastly, on my Weird Walks vibe, this is an anthology in the British Library Tales of the Weird series, edited by WW, and fittingly about horrors encountered while rambling 👣💀 1d

Cathythoughts Very good 👏🏻 I love Celia Fremlin. I‘ve nearly read all of her books, I havnt read this one though. I look forward to your thoughts. 1d

Bookwomble @Cathythoughts That's a good recommendation, thank you, Cathy! 😊 You may need to bide your time for my thoughts, given my extensive TBR! 😁 1d

vivastory I've been making my way through Le Guin's Hainish cycle. Incredible. 1d
