Started DruidCraft by Philip Carr-Gomm. I've been getting to know him quite a bit through Druidcast but I only just realised I've read his work before, including his druid oracle (which was sadly one of the many books I 'loaned' to a hps never to see again). He also trained with the founder of the Fellowship of Isis, Olivia Robertson so I feel a kind of kinship with him through that part of my own history somehow. I'm very excited to see what he has to say in this book. I'm sure he'll give me plenty to think about. Thanks again to Thal for the recommendation. I'm loving all these little coincidences.
夕方に急なにわか雨は「夕立」と呼ばれるなら、なぜ朝ににわか雨は「朝立ち」と呼ばれないの? ^^If a sudden rain shower in the evening is referred to as an 'evening stand', then why isn't a shower in the morning called 'morning stand'?
Kalayna Price's Grave Visions. I've wait 4 years for this book and am half scared to read it because lord knows how long it will take her to write another one. On the other hand I want to dive in and inhale it... decisions decisions.

I've spent the past week reading Euripides and essays on Orphism, Adonis, Cybele, and Dionysus that I was able to dig up from JSTOR. Why do I wait so long before I do things? My final paper for my mythology class is on Dionysus and finding relevant research is harder than I remember.

Sorry you were caught, I said. Sorry that you thought I was weak, but you were wrong.

An ebook on digital privacy. Unfortunately, 98% of the non-legal aspect isn't new to me and the remaining 2% doesn't justify the expenditure.
Life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness. Like a star shining in the black eternity of space.
Yoda: Dark Rendezvous
"But those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun." Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."

"You come from the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve", said Aslan. "And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth; be content."
Currently reading through the inheritance cycle. I read it once before, when it first came out, and never really got back to it.
We are what we are. Nothing more, nothing less. There is good and evil among every kind of people. It's the evil among us who rule now. -Anne Bishop, Daughter of the Blood
I wondered if he could ever understand that it was a blessing, not a sin, to be graced with more than one love.
It could be complicated; of course it could be complicated. And it opened one up to the possibility of more pain and loss.
Still, it was a blessing I would never relinquish. Love, genuine love, was always a cause for joy.

"Turn, and look in the mirror. What do you see?" Her own brown eyes stared back at her until she was nothing but a blur.
"I see you. Red lipstick spread perfectly over your lush mouth, brown eyes that hold centuries upon centuries of secrets. A face made to entice even the most celibate of men and women alike. A red dress that sways and moves with your body, making you a temptation like no other."
No. 2 daughter gave me her stack of Terry Pratchett books, and I'm plowing through them.
She also gave me a couple of textbooks from a college class she took on witchcraft - mostly compilations of primary documents. When I get done with Pratchett I'll start on those.
Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.
