#WyrdAndWonder day 27: #ThrowbackThursday

Wooo I caught up! It‘s a classic, so damn right I tried to make it look iconic: Thomas the Rhymer by Ellen Kushner

Why yes I do have a soft spot for folkloric fantasy, why‘d‘you ask?

(Re)reading this one as a mentor text while writing my own faery story, a prequel to Tam Lin. I‘m struggling with a lot of self-doubt as I reach the ending, but yesterday I picked up this cool message from the text (highlighted).
Will push on, and hope people love my story like I loved this!

I think I bought this because I was working my way through a cataloguing project that was all about making book prizes searchable - I also love Fire & Hemlock by DWJ and this sounded like it had similar vibes...

Plus I think I mixed up this author with Ellen Schreiber who had a teen vampire series that I half read during the height of the Twilight inspired vampire resurgence back in the day...

1. At least 7...
2. Thomas the Rhymer (I just finished it last week)

An absolutely beautiful book. Storytelling at its finest! This is one of those lovely stories I'd love to curl up and live inside...

Two books down! Need to decide on my third book....

A beautiful cover and I'll absolutely in love with the story so far #JoysOfJune #Readathon

Just an answer to @aeeklund 's question.

I don't think it's part of the Fairy Tale series by Windling, but it's another Canty cover!

Women Writers

Some of these are more famous than others, but here are a few of my favorite-unique-interesting novels by women.
