Monday Recommends and Nail Art: Connie and Korea

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I love Connie Willis’s writing, especially her Oxford Time Travel books. I just got hold of a copy of “Firewatch”, a story that comes before the novels, so OF COURSE I’m rereading BLACKOUT and ALL CLEAR. I reread DOOMSDAY BOOK, which is about pandemics (including The Black Death) in 2020, because of course I did. I need to reread TO SAY NOTHING OF THE DOG real soon now, just because. It’s a romp, even though it centers on the bombing of Coventry (that part isn’t funny, obvs).

Meanwhile, I’m still working through Maniology’s Korea plates. I did some reverse stamping this time. The turtle and the tiger came out rather blobby, but I’m happy with the goldfish and the butterfly.

A WRITING PROMPT FROM ME TO YOU: If you could go back to an earlier time with yourself not present and not being able to affect events, when would you go to? (yes, yes, to when would you go) (or to whence)

About

I was born in Louisville, Kentucky, but now live in the woods in southern Indiana. Though I only write fiction, I love to read non-fiction. The more I learn about this world, the more fantastic I see it is.

      Obviously, so do I, since I’ve reread PIRANESI about twelve times.
