Good morning everyone! #thinkpositive #LoveisResistence
In this week of thrifted finds, I bring this set. This looks like an interesting fusion of sci-fi and fantasy. While I have all three of the trilogy, the last isn't original to the others. I can tell because the page ends have aged differently, and the cover has silver around the artwork. The order of books is The Copper Crown, The Throne of Scone, and The Silver Branch. I've heard on Instagram that these are complex and beautiful.
pickSister Fidelma decides to go on a ship bound for the Shrine of St. James in an attempt to contemplate her commitment to the Irish Celtic Church, & her relationship with the monk,Eadulf.On board there are complications: her first love who broke her heart at 18 is aboard,violent storms & near shipwreck occur, & a series of murders intrude on her thought process. In the next book, Our Lady of Darkness,once on land Fidelma receives a harrowing note ⬇️
I went overboard at the charity shop's book sale but there was a lot more choice than usual on the English book shelves. I think someone (probably American) must have moved away.
I left all the autobiographies of US politicians and business people and all the romances for others....
pickBook #16 of 2024: “The Celtic Twilight” by WB Yeats
This had a few poems but was mostly stories about the Sidhe collected from Irish people across the country. I‘ll come back to it again later when I have time to do some more research into the people, places, and legends referenced. And, maybe, take a trip to all the places Yeats identifies as doors to the dim world.
pickI read this YEARS ago & loved it, so when a friend picked it for our IRL book club, I was excited to revisit it. And it holds up! I remembered virtually nothing but a couple plot points, so it was kinda like enjoying it for the first time. 😆
Lawhead‘s historical fiction has always been a win for me, and the number of places & cultures he tackles here is impressive! He does it well, and I grew to love so many of the characters Lawhead ⤵️

This was fun!! The bottom three are villains that frightened the life out of me as a child!! I‘m sure they meant the singular man in Bambi, I‘m using it to mean mankind. Also, if you‘re playing a fascist/Nazi automatic villain!! Missing from the list are my two favorite villains, Moriarty from Sherlock and Loki. (if you get redemption arc, are you still a villain?)
Care to play?
I scored several old Sr.Fidelma Mysteries #mysteriesofAncientIreland through Thrift Books.Sipping my Labor Day morning coffee while enjoying what feels like an autumn day in my porch! Coldish breeze, the temp is 69. Barely a cloud- bright blue skies. I plan to walk afterwards. #porchlife #LazyLaborDay #coffeeandbooks
