Recently I stopped in at one of the local new/used book stores that I love. It’s been a while since I’ve been there because due to circumstances they had to move locations at the end of last year. The new location is closer but much smaller. Still, I managed to find some books anyway! Of course, if I walked out of a bookstore without at least one book then something is seriously wrong.

The first book on the stack, Song of Unmaking by Caitlin Brennan (aka Judith Tarr), is the second in a series. Such is the life when shopping at used book stores. But I thought this one looked interesting enough to pick up. I’ll have to find the first one at some point.
I picked up Karen Memory by Elizabeth Bear because I’ve heard great things about it and I’ve been meaning to read it for a while. Now it’s officially part of Mt. TBR, huzzah!
I’ve already read In the Labyrinth of Drakes by Marie Brennan but that was on audio and I’d like to have a physical copy of all the books. The covers are so very lovely after all.
The last two books are by Charles de Lint–Dreams Underfoot and Widdershins. I haven’t read anything from Charles de Lint for years but I’ve always meant to catch up on some of his works. I remember being very fond of The Little Country.
My husband also bought me these socks. I love him forever. ❤

Best socks ever
I’ve always wanted to read Karen Memory too, I hear it’s amazing. Have fun with your new books!
Thanks!
Lol love those socks!
Thanks!
Yes, the Lady Trent books by Marie Brennan are definitely worth having in physical format, those covers by Todd Lockwood are stunning!
Some of my favorite cover art. ❤
Those socks are so perfect, love them. I’ve been meaning to pick up some Elizabeth Bear books as well, I’ve heard particularly good things about Karen Memory. I love the Lady Trent books and totally agree that they deserve to be owned as physical copies. Looks like a great day of book purchases!
Thanks! 🙂
The covers for the Brennan books are like works of art. I would definitely frame a set and have them on my walls. I want those socks! And Widdershins. I’ve only read one book by Charles deLint but I did enjoy it and had every intention of reading more – the best laid plans, etc, etc.
Lynn 😀
Oh, I wonder if there are prints available, that’s a brilliant idea.
Same with me on de Lint. So many books, so little time. 🙂
