Tamora Pierce
Garth Nix
Terry Pratchett
Anne Rice
Ursula K LeGuin

tell me about a book that changed you
for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

it took me far too many pages of this book to realise who Hasten Thenu is. it’s not even subtle. GDI
I gave a talk at this month’s SydPy tech meetup this evening?? and it went well?
finally feel like i have my whole brain back after a few weeks panicking about this silly talk, so i finally have time to dive into No Life Forsaken, and then get stuck into some new jewellery pieces!!
