henna day post

[gwynnega]

It is Henna Day, on a gorgeous weekend in Los Angeles. The weather isn't quite autumnal, but at least we're no longer having a heat wave. (For now.) To celebrate the lack of sweltering weather, I've been buying pumpkin products at Trader Joe's. (I love their pumpkin butter.)

I'm nearly done reading Patty Templeton's There Is No Lovely End. It is turning out to be one my favorite books of 2014.

SO HEY girlfriend did you know that the radio play version (six hours at least) of Watership Down with John Hurt as Hazel is on UTU??

I didn't know!! (And I didn't see your comment until just now, as Dreamwidth apparently still isn't sending me notifications.) But yay!!

So glad to hear this about There Is No Lovely End!

[gwynnega]

I finished it last night. What a great book!

Do talk it up--an indie book needs all the press it can get!

I will! I've been thinking about how two of my favorite novels of the year (yours and Patty's) are self-published. I don't think that's ever been the case before.

I guess there are definitely more and more people going that route? And so it's more likely that people you know will be among their number.
