Finished on Christmas Eve after snagging from the library impulsively when I saw it was in. Loved The Stardust Grail so had to read this!
Thanks @yumewrites.bsky.social for a stunning book about sisterhood, environmental collapse, and sailing. It was exactly what I needed right now in my life! 🌱⛵️💚

Booksellers!!! After many weeks, SALTCROP is back in stock at Ingram! Just in time for the holidays at least. I would love if you would consider circling back and ordering copies to stock if your store didn’t have any.

Wow. I did not realize how much I needed to read @yumewrites.bsky.social Saltcrop until I reached the end. This book showcases the power of siblings while also offering hope amid trying times. Highly recommend it!
