Currently reading stack is pretty red. The blue one stands out, maybe I should just finish it now. It clashes.
But guess what? I started writing 👀👀👀👀

After reading this I went straight into reading the second book in her ‘living autobiography‘ series, and went out and bought the third, because it was everything I was hoping it would be and more. Her writing is just amazing 🖤

To be fair, I think we also need to add polyHERSter and polyTHEIRSter to the dictionary. 😀

julieclair Does anyone even know how to sing like that anymore? 1w
TheBookHippie @julieclair Actually yes, Jazz Clubs I‘ve heard some good stuff. Post Modern Jukebox comes close. It‘s lovely isn‘t it? 1w
julieclair So, you just sent me scurrying to Spotify. I‘d never heard of Postmodern Jukebox. Oh my! Their cover of Jolene is unbelievable! Gut wrenching. I‘m an instant fan! 1w

This is one I figured out from context clues but I enjoy the definition - "a violent expression"

Le Guin's nonfiction is a delight to read. It was interesting seeing such a wide span of writing intents packed into one book. In the book review essays section, I didn't know most of the books she wrote about, but it was still fun reading each one. #Nonfiction

Used for #GottaCatchEmAll Farfetch'd "neutral colored cover" (the audiobook cover is mostly brown) @PuddleJumper

Final item from my book bundle from Arabelle! Will be so interesting to read Le Guin‘s take on the writing craft.

Just finished. A short but powerful read. The tears have not dried as I write this. Another Aussie writer gone way too soon. I want to write more but hard to find the words. It‘s not depressing , in fact it‘s uplifting.
The book itself is a pleasure for me. Hard back and printed on thick white paper that looks like it would stay white forever. So glad I was able to hold this book and read it.

Rissreads Beautiful review ♥️ 2w
