#FinfolkFriday: Beach reads and prophecies

Cover of Calling on Dragons. A giant blue donkey with enormous white wings grins as he flies a sword-wielding hero with streaming dark hair and a flapping pink cape (I'm guessing that's Cimorene?) to the top window of a grey stone tower. Inside the window are two figures: a woman with long, dark red hair and a balding man with lighter red hair. Both are staring out at the donkey, whose back legs are straddling a manila banner that says "Patricia C. Wrede."

Netflix Book Tag

Cover of Beneath the Sugar Sky. A bright, blue sky covers the top left corner of the cover. Indigo clouds, with bright white lining, cover the top right. The bottom is occupied by magenta ocean waves crashing onto a magenta beach. In the middle of the sky is a semi-translucent door opening into nothingness.

Sugar and spice, and let’s not get sliced

A black and white map of Ice Age Europe, from inside the book The Plains of Passage, by Jean M. Auel. There is a winding white line leading from the area now known as Ukraine to the area now known as France. There are also several images of Ice Age artifacts, such as carvings of women, a sculpture of a lioness head, and a pierced staff.

The Great Selkie Post

Jan 19, 2020Mar 16, 2020 NeriSiren

“It is the tide that pulls the seconds through my blood. It is the tide that threads the minutes through my bones.”

“But once in a rare while they come late to the changing.”

Jan 6, 2020Mar 13, 2020 NeriSiren

“You’re here to put an end to us, and a Selkie without a skin is no concern of Faerie’s.”
