it’s the most wonderful time of the year.
Last Thursday, I had another rapturous bookstore experience. It’s been cooling and crisping outside: time for another round of Maple White Mochas at Seattle’s Best (part of our local Borders). Mom and I brought our work, and the joining of writing, coffee, and bookstore is still bliss.
Factor in the knitting project I dreamed up while we were there (and have since completed—birthday legwarmers for my sister), a handful of new DVDs waiting at home, and the fact that our grocery store is now stocking fresh apple cider… and I was deeply, unshakably happy.
And then I found Cornelia Funke’s Inkdeath, just released. I bought it and sat with it in my lap, speechless, all the way home.
So, we’re pretty much looking at a full plate of joy. Happy autumn to you.—jl
