A beautiful doorway framed in green wood. The doors are double and dark walnut stained with windows. The is a tall stone archway above the doors with some sort of architectural features. A cornice? Idk. Also some nice things on the columns and carvings in the archway.

Thinking about the time I bought wild chanterelles at a market that easily could have been misidentified like the ones that were just sold at a market near me. So far I don’t think anyone has been poisoned but they were poisonous and deadly. Never doing that again lol #mushrooms #wildcrafting

The other thing I was very excited about: The Kesh Temple Hymn tablets. I guess it’s more like a block than a tablet. I’m most amazed that people were able to translate these things like woah. The cuneiform is so tiny on some of these! #museum #ancient #sumerian #tablet

A foot and a half tall red clay rectangle block with cuneiform writing on the four sides, no writing on the top and bottom. This tablet is a hymn to Kesh and kesh’s mother Nintur(d) and their temple. It’s beautiful and I wish I could have heard it sung.

I'm going to rave about this book again because I never see it come up. Diana Wynne Jones is incredible. Everything she touches turns to magic. This book was my favorite as a kid (maybe tied in first with The Hatchet). I reread it with my kids and it holds up and more. #fantasy #booksky #fiction

book cover for Dogsbody by Diana Wynne Jones
Cover is black starry sky with a white dog with red ears, shaggy wolf dog style kind of just floating in space with wide unsettling eyes. This was the cover I remember reading. Everything from the light green of the font (it kind of doesnt look green here but it it) to the colour of the dog is just nostalgia for me.
Dogsbody is also a word that can mean someone doing menial labour or the shitty jobs, which is an excellent choice for the title.

Random Book from my To Be Read pile: Why did I add this to my TBR? I believe it was a recommended further reading book from one of my other reads. It's also within my fields of interest (witchcraft, satanism, history, the history of oppression). #booksky #reading #nonfiction #religion #books

The Devil in the New World
The Impact of Diabolism in New Spain
Fernando Cervantest

There is a folk drawing of a skeleton devil with bloody joints and two snakes coming out between its legs. It has a headdress that looks like its made of more bones and a necklace of some kind. Its wearing a white and red tunic.

Oh I didn’t realize it was a book. I started watching the movie on my flight but I didn’t finish. Great cover. It’s probably good. #books #booksky #fiction #historicalfiction #hamnet #hamlet

Book cover for Hamnet by Maggie O’Farrell ‘a rare talent to enthrall’-the Sunday times. Winner of the women’s prize for fiction 2020.
There I’d a large embellished capital H in the centre of the cover. It has ferns, oak leaves, Rowan berries, ivy leaves, an owl ornamenting the letters in golden ochre ink. The berries are that orange red. The background is medium warm blue.

Story

There is a floating city, just the corner visible or actually its a city on a table. I see a small bus, a bowl of tea, a bowl of soup on an orange book with a spoon resting on top, a vase with flowers, a tree. There is a stream through the city falling down in a thin thread into a roiling ocean below with perhaps a sea monster or islands? There are three buildings on the table, a tall green tower, a traditional architecture building and a more modern looking college perhaps. the colour pallets are vibrant pastels.
