Monday. And a dark, sleety, day. Much better if it were Sunday.
I received my October found objects challenge items on Saturday.
Meh. I'm not a fan of shells. They're a step above tassels. The "crystal" on the right is plastic and milky so I won't be using it for sure. I went to the bead shop on Saturday and came up with ideas for two necklaces with earrings out of this so far.
Currently reading NAAMAH'S KISS by Jacqueline Carey. 1st of fantasy trilogy.
The great granddaughter of Alais the Wise, child of the Maghuin Donn, and a cousin of the Cruarch of Alba, Moirin learns her father was a D'Angeline priest dedicated to serving Naamah, goddess of desire. Once there were great magicians born to the Maghuin Dhonn; the folk of the Brown Bear, the oldest tribe in Alba. But generations ago, the greatest of them all broke a sacred oath sworn in the name of all his people. Now, only small gifts remain to them. Through her lineage, Moirin possesses such gifts - the ability to summon the twilight and conceal herself, and the skill to coax plants to grow. Moirin has a secret, too. From childhood onward, she senses the presence of unfamiliar gods in her life; the bright lady, and the man with a seedling cupped in his palm. Raised in the wilderness by her reclusive mother, it isn't until she comes of age that Moirin learns how illustrious, if mixed, her heritage is. After Moirin undergoes the rites of adulthood, she finds divine acceptance...on the condition that she fulfill an unknown destiny that lies somewhere beyond the ocean. Or perhaps oceans. Beyond Terre d'Ange where she finds her father, in the far reaches of distant Ch'in, Moirin's skills are a true gift when facing the vengeful plans of an ambitious mage, a noble warrior princess desperate to save her father's throne, and the spirit of a celestial dragon.
Published 2009; 656 pages. The first trilogy set in this world I absolutely love and adore. The second one I enjoyed. I couldn't get into this one when I first bought it in 2019. Now I guess is the right time.
I've got chicken and dumpling soup going in the crockpot. Nothing else going on.
Have a good day
Much love,
