Beth takes vintage books, hollows them out, and adds whimsical collage art from old-time magazines. I have several of my own, and they're always conversation starters. Great for gifts, too.
I’m not quite done with it yet but “Several short sentences about writing” by Verlyn Klinkenborg is already one of the best books about writing I’ve ever read.
"Mystery interwined in a pioneering supernatural world. It can easily make a fantastic bestseller."

"As I reach the edge of the opening, my blood pressure is rising. Never have I seen something like this before."
Marquise Gertain, THE HIDDEN FACE by M. I. Verras
From last Autumn when Anjali came over from Vancouver to pick me up for some collaborative political work. She loved my #LittleFreeLibrary in South #Saanich 😊📚
Dumarami ang pumupunta ngayon sa “Reading Club 2000” na isang public #library na itinayo ng 72-anyos na si Hernando "Mang Nanie" Guanlao sa Balagtas Street, Brgy. La Paz, #Makati City.
I'm thinking about the recent romantasy turn in fantasy/romance novels and how the Cantata books may have fit, say, 10 years ago. But in that time I grew old and then decided I didn't want to force spiciness onto my novels and removed most of it.
I still think one of the spiciest scenes is when they are reading books together and...not a single piece of clothing was discarded. 😉
Slow burn indeed. Mind you, I enjoy reading #romantasy every now and again. I'm just not sure I'm the right person to be writing it. Spiciness is just too much work and I'd rather be focusing on other things!
There's a fair bit of romance in Cantata of the Fourfold Realms but most of it is low-key and organically building up.
Finished reading one short novel from Stephan Zweig's book: "Buchmendel" (Mendel The Book Dealer).
I love the story and wish to be at that café and have a conversation with someone like Mendel. #StefanZweig#Mendel#ClassicLiterature#Books#1920s#BookLovers
