“Of all the times of mine that Time has in his grip, there is none that in one retrospection I can smile at half so much, and think of half so tenderly.”

Here’s to chaos and unhinged discord convos 🥂
My favorites from the first half of 2023!
There weren’t a lot of standouts until the end of May/beginning of June when I read The Salt Grows Heavy, The Last Tale of the Flower Bride, and A Marvellous Light in a row. I’m hoping for a great second half to the year though.
Who are some of your favorite Japanese authors? 🌸 Mine are Haruki Murakami and Hiromi Kawakami. I’m looking forward to read the works of Banana Yoshimoto, Yoko Ogawa, Junji Ito, and Kazuo Ishiguro. Any book recommendation from these authors? Happy Wednesday! https://www.instagram.com/p/CMz6TTDL4E4/?igshid=4v4gnhvjhf0h
Synopsis: When nineteen-year-old Tycho, the King's Courier, arrives in the remote village of Briarlock, he hopes to escape the demands of his new life in the royal court, where magic reigns for the first time in ages. He doesn't expect to fall for a handsome blacksmith with a bruised heart.
After years of cruelty in his father's forge, Jax never dared to dream of a better life -- until a magic-wielding young lord shows him an enticing alternative. But when rumors of a rebellion reach Briarlock, Jax wonders who he can trust -- and if he'll even survive.
Jax's best friend, Callyn, doesn't trust anyone -- especially not a handsome stranger with magic, which killed her parents years ago. When another royal emissary arrives, seeing a co-conspirator, Callyn finds herself embroiled in a plot that could lead them all to ruin. . .
As tensions flare throughout the kingdom, it won't be long before everyone must choose a side.
War is brewing. Passions are building. And magic may doom -- or save -- them all . . .

Book of Warrior Queens stitched and designed by HauntedFrames. Pattern, $6.77.
Book of Warrior Queens was stitched on 18 ct aida, using 4 colours of DMC floss. Contains cross stitches and a decent amount of back stitching! Framed in a 5x7 gold frame. The backstitch makes such a difference, especially around the border. It was tough to get through but worth it!
Ringing in the new year the right way: with tea, wearable blankets, and books ✌🏻

All attempts at finding clouds on this absolutely beautiful day ended in failure. Please accept a stunning blue sky instead!
Currently reading Bleak House, and I feel like my reading life is sometimes just waiting until I pick up another Dickens novel.
I’ve been really busy lately so I know I haven’t been posting much, but I promise it’s for cool reasons. Like really really cool.
