Powsels & Thrums Hb | Alan Garner

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 👣💀

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. 23h

Yay for my latest #bookhaul

I was informed that I'ma a Queerfeminist Cyborg and That's Okay might be out of print, so I didn't expect to get a copy. But I did! It's one my March #roll100, but I'm not sure if I can fit it in this month.

And then I received an early Christmas gift from @VaniBarelyReads ❤ Isn't she a beauty? The book and Vani herself 💕

AnnCrystal 🆒📚💝. 2d

I attended a cozy mystery event sponsored by Kensington publishing and hosted by my local mystery bookshop. It‘s always fabulous hanging out with cozy mystery authors, and I splurged on this hardcover. A cozy mystery with food and ghosts and adult beverages? Ummm…yes please!

Now, to find the time to read it! 😂 #bookhaul

BethM Ohh fun! I‘m always jealous when I see the emails that they‘re never near me. 4d
Librarybelle @BethM My local bookstore was a last minute add-on for this season‘s tour. It was a very abbreviated day (only a couple of hours) but fun all the same! 4d
MemoirsForMe Wow! What a cool event! 2d

My library #BookHaul last week. I went in to pick up my hold on Brave-Hearted for #RiseUpReads The library book store was having a half-off sale on adult fiction & I got the tagged book (from my TBR), Frozen River (in case I don‘t finish my library e-book loan in time), & Magic Steeped in Poison (because it is pretty & the story looked good) for $1 each. The book🐔says it was a good deal & haul!😉

#SundayFunday “What‘s the last book you bought?”

TheBookHippie Oh I wanna read Fly Girl! What a wonderful haul!!! 4d
DebinHawaii @TheBookHippie Me too since Come Fly the World was so great! ✈️ 💙 4d

My husband took me to a book sale about an hour from here for my birthday. The tagged book was a present from my sister, and the rest are the #bookhaul from the sale. And my daughter gave me a bookshop.com gift card, so I am a happy camper today!
