Not mg sff related, but it's always nice to find that an author you like (Sherwood Smith) has one of the same comfort reads (Miss Buncle's Book, by D.E. Stevenson), as you do (via Book View Cafe). This is also a favorite of Jen's. Just saying.
And also irrelevant, but attractive--pretty paper art by Diana Beltran Herrera at Colossal Art & Design (via Bookshelves of Doom)
I had a review of Princess and the Goblin by George MacDonald.

ReplyDeleteIf there were more people sitting around reading Miss Buncle, the world would probably be a better place...
