pickNew episode is out! We head into the New Year with a full head of steam. We review the subtly wonderful Ursula K Le Guin's The Beginning Place and choose a book to read for January. The slate of potential reads was very strong (almost too strong) and we left some good candidates on the cutting room floor. Enjoy!

pickWhile The Beginning Place is not without its problems with the gendered tropes of male hero and female help, I appreciated its value in telling a story about creating a life, a relationship, and a worldview different from those you inherit.
The hubby came home with a surprise for me from the Library. Not sure what it's about but he said he thinks I would like it. Have any of u read this????

I read this book many years ago, and honestly l don't remember much other that l was disappointed.
Two young people travel to another world, where they think they might have found paradise. But appearances are deceiving.
I had never read Le Guin before and l wanted to see how l liked her. Sadly, l've never read her again. But l think that in all fairness, l should give her another go
