This book was an excellent companion on my #audiowalks. The magic of de Lint pairs nicely with being outdoors.

1. It seems a strange choice, but de Lint's books have provided a much needed escape this year.
2. Louisa May Alcott, de Lint, Brian Jacques
3. My book club & #bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks - seems silly, but the bingo board has made it a million times easier to decide my next read

#sundayfunday @ozma.of.oz

TheAromaofBooks Oh my gosh, I'm genuinely touched!! I'm so glad that my crazy challenge that I've kind of made up as I go along is actually helping people with their reading goals!! 3y
AllisonM89 @TheAromaofBooks without bingo, i read significantly less - not because im not motivated, but because I'm so darn indecisive 😂 3y
BookmarkTavern I have really enjoyed Book Spin Bingo too! It‘s been really helpful! Thank you for posting! 3y

I was so glad to still be able to visit the iris gardens this year. As a child i used to go with my mom and my aunt. Since my aunt passed, i still try to go in her memory. So glad covid couldn't put a stop to that. I adore the iris gardens-it brings so much joy!

And i discovered Charles de Lint since covid started (see tagged book)! I love his books!

TobeyTheScavengerMonk One of my all time favorite books ever! 4y
AllisonM89 @TobeyTheScavengerMonk I can't believe this is the first I'm reading de Lint! Now I feel like I need to get my hands on everything he's ever written. #newfordorbust
4y
TobeyTheScavengerMonk Memory and Dream, Trader, and Someplace to Be Flying are the best full Newford novels and The Ivory and the Horn is the next Newford short story book. They‘re all wonderful. 4y
AllisonM89 @TobeyTheScavengerMonk I currently have Moonheart and Into the Green sitting on my shelf, but they aren't Newford.. 4y

Not sure whether I'm taking a break or bailing.

Leaving off at start of "Winter Was Hard" / 33% / 5:10:14

It's not what I expected when Open Books guy recommended because of my love of Neil Gaiman. Bummer!

Chrissyreadit That stinks. Charles DeLint is usually a solid author. 6y
JoyBlue That seems to be the consensus. I even found a couple readalike recommendations online that echo the bookseller's recommendation (including starting with this book). It may be the short story format—I'm generally not a fan. 6y

My favorite Urban Fantasy author ever! I just want to go and visit the city of Newford once before I die.

This collection of short stories is one of my favorites and is a great introduction to anyone wondering what all the hype about Charles de Lint is actually about.

*spoiler* he's friggen brilliant */spoiler*

An all-time favorite. Any Litten can see why. #QuotsyJan18

Newford is one of my favourite fictional small towns, though I have barely read half of the books. De Lint is also one of my favourite #CanadianAuthors. He has written so many books, I don't know if I will ever be able to say I've read them all. #smalltown #rockinmay @Cinfhen

Audio. Short stories. I may not have been in the mood but I just couldn't get into this collection. Each was brief and while well thought out, it just felt like something kids would tell over a camp fire. I didn't care about the people, the town, or the creatures.
