After several years, I have finally started this book.

So many years. So many readings attended. So much admiration. Does rottenness build over time or is the germ of it always present? I just cleared and packed a shelf of books gathered over the years.

Forty-five books read this year 📚
Not shown:
The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, Ilan Pappe
Hikaru No Go, vols. 14, 15,17, and 19
Night, Eli Weisel

Happy Halloween! I dressed up as a fanfic character from The Mirror Visitor series. This is a picture of the almost completed Ophelia scarf I wore.

Thought I had read this one but it‘s not on my shelf. ETA Diane Duane has yet to go awry. Another excellent voyage with an underlying theme regarding the essential nature of play.

A wonderful dive into an alternate Hollywood filled with urban fae, olde world bargains, world myths, moral codes and references to the Hays Office.

A friend is making a picture of Proginoskes and Sporos for me. I reread the story today for a specific description of Sporos. I forgot how he and Progo were physical and temperamental opposites.
