Dreams Underfoot: The Newford Collection | 
pickCharles de Lint is the author I most associate with “urban fantasy“, though the term has evolved since he published his first books. This collection of stories from his Newford series delves into the lives of city dwellers, including the artists, the homeless, and the marginalized. I love de Lint's beautiful writing and the mix of fantasy, folklore and horror.

This book was an excellent companion on my #audiowalks. The magic of de Lint pairs nicely with being outdoors.
1. It seems a strange choice, but de Lint's books have provided a much needed escape this year.
2. Louisa May Alcott, de Lint, Brian Jacques
3. My book club & #bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks - seems silly, but the bingo board has made it a million times easier to decide my next read

I was so glad to still be able to visit the iris gardens this year. As a child i used to go with my mom and my aunt. Since my aunt passed, i still try to go in her memory. So glad covid couldn't put a stop to that. I adore the iris gardens-it brings so much joy!
And i discovered Charles de Lint since covid started (see tagged book)! I love his books!

It's not what I expected when Open Books guy recommended because of my love of Neil Gaiman. Bummer!
“Okay, but seriously. Can we just read today??” Oh, Floof.

My favorite Urban Fantasy author ever! I just want to go and visit the city of Newford once before I die.
This collection of short stories is one of my favorites and is a great introduction to anyone wondering what all the hype about Charles de Lint is actually about.
*spoiler* he's friggen brilliant */spoiler*
“There's stories and then there's stories. The ones with any worth change your life forever, perhaps only in a small way, but once you've heard them, they are forever a part of you. You nurture them and pass them on, and the giving only makes you feel better. The others are just words on a page.” #story
An all-time favorite. Any Litten can see why. #QuotsyJan18
This book is the perfect Charles de Lint gateway drug, you urban fantasy fans.
I couldn't find any books with shoes on my shelves! So I pulled this de Lint out to represent my barefootedness.
#jubilantjuly #shoesoncovers
Newford is one of my favourite fictional small towns, though I have barely read half of the books. De Lint is also one of my favourite #CanadianAuthors. He has written so many books, I don't know if I will ever be able to say I've read them all. #smalltown #rockinmay @Cinfhen

A sentiment all Littens can get behind. #aQuoteaDay
bailedAudio. Short stories. I may not have been in the mood but I just couldn't get into this collection. Each was brief and while well thought out, it just felt like something kids would tell over a camp fire. I didn't care about the people, the town, or the creatures.
