Huh, I thought I’d had all my LMM books already, but two more showed up in a late shipment. Me likey! Soft and sweet and full of nature-loving, fairy joy, just like most of her books. Very pleasant. LMM has a way of creating wee characteristics for people you only … Read More ›

I read the first half of this book in the waiting room before a doctor’s appointment last week; the previous book was a giant hardcover, and this fit nicely into my purse. It doesn’t, however, fit neatly into any category, or even into my psyche very well. It’s about passion, … Read More ›
OH COME ON. I just wrote a HUGE review, and I hit publish and it didn’t work, AND there’s no draft? Gah. I HATED IT. Next! 496Â pages.
I’m struggling with my light box – I burnt out a bulb yesterday and got a replacement today, plus a side lamp, but it still doesn’t seem to be bright enough. Or angled properly. Or something. Anyway. I needed to take some photos to be featured on Arts North, so … Read More ›
I followed (vaguely) some instructions for creating your own light box today. Basically, I cut out the sides of a box, covered them in tissue paper, and inserted a piece of white cardboard for a backdrop. I still need to play with it, but I’m very pleased. At first, I … Read More ›
I think this is possibly the very last of LMM’s books (outside of short stories, which don’t interest me much) that I hadn’t read before. Very light and sweet, I believe it’s unique in my recollection of LMM’s work by starting out in earnest discussion of a man. It’s also … Read More ›
I thought I’d read all of LMM’s books, but a search through Indigo’s website with that lovely gift card has gleefully proved me wrong. It’s a positively delightful book. LMM of course has a grand pattern that often repeats throughout her heroines, but the details are always different, and it’s … Read More ›
And book number one is complete! I’ve got a whole boxful of new books from a carefully applied gift card I got from my brother and sister(in-law) for xmas. Now I need to decide what’s next! I finished this book before I knew it was over; there were 30 pages … Read More ›
“Resolutions” never quite turn out the way you expect. This year, I have an experiment I want to try. I want to keep track of and possibly even review every single book I read. I want to know how many books I read in a year, total, how many are new, and … Read More ›
So the show! Had to load and unload the car in the pouring rain; had a four-hour set-up that was completely killer on the back and knees and feet on the concrete floors, which became a recurring theme throughout the weekend. BUT we suffer for our art, no? I think … Read More ›
