They/Them. Autistic. Queer. Stories most welcome. Adventures, dragon hoards, faery rings, wizards' towers. Let's get lost in the woods together.
Finished "Foundation"!

By rights I shouldn't be half as invested as I am, considering it's a story told largely in political exposition, but I am hooked! I'm already itching to dig into the next book, but inter-library requests take a few weeks, so I'll just have to be patient, ha ha.

Today's book: "Foundation" (Foundation, Book 1) by Isaac Asimov

I saw a few episodes of the show (loving it!) and decided to pause and try the books first. It is riveting so far!

Reading buddy Bagheera is also keeping me company by the fire this morning.

We’re past the holidays (mostly), so I’m going to start dropping some questions:

Without any spoilers, who is the most interesting character other than Circe?

WINTER’S GLOW (2012)
Acrylic on Yupo Paper - 12” x 12”

I wasn’t feeling in the holiday spirit, and as usual it took a painting to get me into the mood of the season.

Don Maitz first recommended “Yupo paper” to me, and I was pleased with how the sheet he lent me handled acrylics. 1/13

Today's book: "The Keeper of Magical Things" by Julie Leong

This was a last-minute impulse pick as I was passing the library's New Arrivals shelves on my way to check out. I expect another delightfully cozy and wholesome little adventure from Ms. Leong.

Finished!

I'll save most of my thoughts for the #BlueSkyBookClub questions, but in short: what a spectacular book! I didn't expect to love it as much as I did. It felt like reading Tolkien, lyrical and epic, and absolutely captivating. I'm eager to hunt down a copy for my own shelves.

Today's book: "Circe" by Madeline Miller

Time to catch up on this month's #BlueSkyBookClub read! It's been a minute since I read any Greek mythology, but a little preparatory research ought to shake off the cobwebs.
