MOJLIGHET by Ikea it's designed for kids but honestly as a person who is always losing my phone, kindle, emergency snacks, down the side of the bed. I love it. I'm sure even a basic crafter could replicate in a prettier fabric.

A woman raises a tattooed fist against a second woman, while a man in a pale blue shirt tries to come between them. A second man is being hauled away by an extremely large bouncer with a frustrated look on his face. Various onlookers watch the melée with shock or glee on their faces. Everyone is wearing denim.

This is one of those books which make you want to accost strangers on the street and drag them into a bookshop to buy it. It's so good, SO GOOD! If you have any interest in SF and LitSF do yourself a favour. I read it a matter of hours. #Bookgiving #Booksky
The Practice, The Horizon and The Chain - Sofia Samatar The cover is not great to be honest. I'm not sure how you would evoke the themes of the book in imagery but this feels like a cop out.

I'll always maintain the Lycians were the most talented marble carvers in the ancient Mediterranean world. Example the tomb of Sidon in the Islamic Museum of Istanbul.

This is the most @tkingfisher.com thing I've ever seen in my life. Especially Zarol'grokh the Killer and Gérard.
A monk-like creature with cockroach arms, face with terrible teeth and almond alien eyes, great big goat horns. Sitting on top of it's head, a very round duck. Clearly they are very best friends.

I know a woman who has the worst luck. She was staying in a tree house in the jungle, they had been warned to bring no food but her friend forgot a nutbar in her bag. In the pitch darkness some v large thing climbed into their house and they ended up jammed against the far wall until it left.
A sun bear, shown here, was the most likely candidate and while not grizzly dangerous they don't have those claws for shits and giggles.

Today's read was I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman and it was really something special. I was totally hypnotised by the prose and the protag.

Love browsing treasures at my local auction house. If I were a vintage clothing girl or guy I would find this gorgeous collection hard to resist.
www.easyliveauction.com/catalogue/lo...
Three piece ladies suit from approx 1850. With cream taffeta skirt. Decorated cream dancing(?) slippers. Various sashes and accessories. The 'Lady in Blue' is Elizabeth Margaret Grant of Templenoe - She married Colonel Charles Deane of Currane circa 1850 and the Limerick lace shawl in the painting was her wedding veil (now in the the possession of her great-grandaughter. The cream taffeta skirt was part of her wedding dress, and the pink candy striped three piece was her 'going away dress' probably worn with a stiff poke bonnet or a pill box hat with flowers or feathers. This bonnet would have been worn indoors.
