The beginning of fall makes me feel nostalgic
Something about the crisp air after the summer heat
And I’m a summer girl. I love to bake in the high 80s
Even though I require abundant shade

Shipwright's hands.
Coarse, heavy things.
Fit for spars and oars and swallowing skies.
Shroudweaver's hands.
Thin things, light-boned as a bird.
Fit for cerements, the twisting and weaving of linen,

My dearest enemy,
Oh, how I loathe thee. Let me count the ways.
You make me burn with enmity every time you foil one of my schemes. Make me scream to the skies every time the news reports on your good deeds.

Today I'm sharing the first lines of a book I've been meaning to get around to for some time. Amanda Prowse was kind enough to send me a copy of her latest novel, The Way Home, back in May and I'm only now getting around to reading it! It was published by Lake Union in July and is available in paperback, digital and audiobook editions.
