The three spirits

I won this giveaway??? The only time I won something in this manner I was nine years old. It was a pencil sharpener.

ANYWAY, here it is! Can't wait to start reading it. Support Kerstin. Buy her book. Follow her. Nice things may happen to you too! 🎉🎊✌️😌✨

My first Tav (bard) towards the end of the game and my newest Tav (fighter) at the beginning

The best one I took this year.

Unfiltered solar eclipse.

"It's well to remember, though, that electric power is not to be counted on in the same way sunlight is."

"People to whom texts matter, such as readers of poetry or scientific monographs, know that the integrity of a text may be essential. Our nonliterate ancestors knew it."

"Books occupy time in a different way than most art and entertainment. In longevity perhaps only architecture and sculpture in stone outdo the book."

"I can only suggest, Don't agonize—organize! No matter how the corporations bluster and bully and bury us in advertising, the consumer always has the option of resistance. We don't get steamrollered by a new technology unless we lie down in front of the steamroller."

My favorite bits of "The Death of the Book," by Ursula K. Le Guin.

"[...] the sickness affecting every industry that, under pressure from a corporate owner, dumps product standards and long-range planning in favor of high, predictable sales and short-term profits."

"Learning to Write Science Fiction from Virginia Woolf," by Ursula K. Le Guin.
