These are a few of my favorite things.

⏰ Found an extra hour this Sunday morning.
Illuminated e-reader showing the cover of The Life and Death of Sophia Stark A Novel by Anna North. Title font is a loose script that mimics hand written cursive over a zoomed in photograph of a face with eyes and nose visible.

October went out with a bang in Bend.
A sunset stretches across the sky above homes on Halloween. The swirls & curls resemble liquid fire and appear to emanate from a circular center cloud.

"...creation flows both ways." Death of the Author by Nnedi Okorafor twisted around in my mind and felt like creativity reawakening. Thank you to @roundaboutbookshop.bsky.social for bringing this outstanding reading experience to my attention.
Death of the Author: a novel by Nnedi Okorafor in hardback with the dust cover removed to reveal a secondary title art for Rusted Robots: a novel. The covers both feature teal and orange fabric patterns with a dark silhouette outline of a woman on the first and a robot on the second. The book sits on a patio sofa with a blurred background of foliage, fence and blue skies.

I enjoy reading about distance running while wandering very slowly along the trail. #booksky @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social
Hardback copy of My Year of Running Dangerously: A dad, a daughter, and a ridiculous plan by Tom Foreman featuring two running shoes dangling by their laces. The book is wedged into a tumbleweed type plant with a backdrop of red rock. Sunset light filters through the skeletal branches onto the book.

The Book Censor's Library by Bothayna Al-Essa was outstanding and will get a re-read or two: "Why do you want your daughter to adapt to an artificial reality? - Because the alternative is death. - The alternative is resistance, but you're too busy reading novels..." #booksky
Books of a similar orange-red color pallette are fan-stacked three high next to pencils in a jar and a pencil sharpener shaped like an old camera. Top cover shows a monocled rabbit head with the title The Book Censor's Library by Bothayna Al-Essa in a colorful pinwheel pattern. Badging on book indicates it was a National Book Award Finalist.

Wondering what my first read of 2025 should be...
A woman in hiking attire sits sideways on a log bench reading a book. The scene is framed by pine tree branches with a background of crystal blue-green lake waters.

A paperback balances on a chainlink fence with barbed wire loops across the top. Blurred foreground of yellow flowers and background of a path and waterway that follow the fenceline. The sunset is fading behind the white book cover of Solito by Javier Zamora which features an outline of a boy with a knapsack filed in with a desert scene at moonset.

Panoramic photo of a yellow Labrador Retriever in a pointing stance as she comes out of the tall grass and cattails. A bend in the river is visible behind the dog and the sky above is clear and blue above green pines.
