Listening to the audiobook: While I was charmed by the idea of Vivs story and about this loveletter to coffee, I'm finding both story and characters a bit flat and without layers. I love fantasy or sci fi that gives some revolutionary impulse or that include ideas about different/better societies and inacts revolutionary ideas. I can't find this in this novel, rather it expresses more conservative and capitalist ideas. At least there are some queer vibes, and I like the way different people meet and become friends and a small community.

Alice Fox is a textile artist who works with material they grow on their allotment plot, they gather or find. They make fiber from plants, string from nettles or garbage.

In 'Wild Textiles' Alice Fox portraits plants and materials, documents processes. And shows their works: pieces and bowls from leaves that are sewn together, chestnut shells that carry weavings, vessels from dandelion or paper strings, the gall sculpture series - works that got me excited, and longing.

It's such an inspiring book, inviting to take into account what is around, to play, to explore, and to make art. For me it opened up room for new thoughts about the relation of crafts and arts.

Yay ein neues Buch von Eva van Redecker - ich hab Revolution für das Leben ein unglaublich gutes Buch gefunden und bin gespannt auf Bleibefreiheit

If you want to read 'A memory called empire' I recommend listening to the audiobook, Amy Landon's performance is great. I especially loved the read character of Three Seagrass

I'm starting the final book of the elemental logic series, I have frantically been reading the past 10 days or so. I'll turn reading speed to slooooow (no I won't). I want to know what happens next, but I don't want to part from everyone I've grown so fond of

Vom Sammeln und Bearbeiten von Gräsern, Schilfen, Algen und anderen Pflanzen, und Rinden oder Treibgut über Schling-und Flechttechniken bis zu Weidenkörben. Einfach verständliche Anleitungen, ziemlich gutes How-To-Buch, und inspirierende Projekte

oh I can't remember when I've been that immersed in a book series and a small community of choice the last time. And I"ve so much affection for every single one of those characters. After a really frustrating start with the series because I could't find access to the story. Who would have thought.

quick online library read in between, it's a cute bi* coming of age story, as far as I can tell after the first 50 pages or so.

I like Becky Albertalli for queer coming of age books and representation of queer, especially bi* people, people of color, fat and disabled folks, but especially for strong representation of bi * characters and writing about bisexuality. Also: comfort reading!
