After a rather rough week, I was finally able to list something shiny on my store... And not just shiny, something relevant to the changing season!
I don't really have much else to show for this week, but hurray for accomplishing something!
Flower of Fall

| Why, yes, that is a carved tiger eye flower... Thanks for asking. :) |
If you're interested, the listing is here.
Hope everyone is having a lovely Friday!
Lovely hair stick:)I've been looking for a book to read; what book is that?
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm glad you like it!
Delete...And, as far as what book that's from--it's actually from a novel series that I've been working on/haven't published yet. (And by that I mean, both the story for the Autumn Flower, as well as the printed page that serves as the photo backdrop.)
If you want, though, I'm sure I can give some book recommendations. What genre do you like reading? :)
Yeah, I've read some of your mini stories on etsy. They had me hooked:) I'm sure your novels will be a big hit.
ReplyDeleteI'd appreciate some recommendations! I like fantasy with a bit of romance and comedy. Nothing too dark.
I'm working on the list!
Delete...I actually had it all written out, and then my computer crashed and I lost it. Ah well. I'll try to have it up for you in the next few days. :D
And, P.S. I'm so, so glad that you liked my mini stories! That makes me very happy to hear. :D
DeleteNo problem. Take your time:)
DeleteYeah, I enjoyed them. It was fascinating how each item had a story. It's good for connecting with customers.
Okay! Here we go... A list of book recommendations. I honestly have no idea if any of these would be up your alley, but I enjoyed them a great deal. (You'll notice that most of them fall into Young Adult--anywhere from Middle School to High School age--but I included them because I love the stories.)
ReplyDeleteSingle Books:
The Ordinary Princess,
by M.M. Kaye (Young Adult)

If you like your fantasy with more of a Victorian Twist:
Sorcery and Cecelia,
by Patricia Wrede and Caroline Stevermer (Young Adult)
The Elemental Masters series,

If you like short stories and Fairy tales:
The Fairy Books,
compiled by Andrew Lang (Young Adult)
...Each Fairy Book has a color--Red, Olive, Blue, etc.--and is focused on the fairy tales of a particular area of the world. Incidentally, the eBooks are available for free from Amazon.

Aaaaand, last but not least, here is a list of book reviews from a blogger I particularly enjoy, Jen of Epbot... She's read some things that I haven't, that -might- fall into your area of interest:

...So, there you go! I hope that you find this list useful... Again, I'm not entirely sure if they're what you're looking for, but it's worth a try! :D
Oh wow! I wasn't expecting such a long list. Thank you so much! This will keep me busy for a very long time. I'll definitely try as many as I can get at the library. Thank you again for taking the time to do this:)
DeleteYou are so, so welcome! My mother is a librarian, so I've been a pretty avid reader all my life... Most of those are books that I keep re-reading--it's like visiting old friends. I hope there's at least something on that list that you like! :)
