Practices 12 fiber arts and teaches 5. Not willing to tolerate any form of fascism. Joy and beauty are the foundation of the universe. I remember damage.
The Second Star
Alma AlexanderJoi @JoiTheArtist.bsky.socialJust finished @AlmaAlexander 's The Second Star. A slow burn of a book. As a person of faith, I found it extremely...challenging (exasperating?) in parts. I nearly put it aside. But the story was so compelling that I finished it. I'm so glad I did. It was beautiful.

David MitchellJoi @JoiTheArtist.bsky.social@BillHayden65 @higashidanaoki2 @AutSciPerson David Mitchell as in the author of Cloud Atlas and The Bone Clocks. I think there's a comedian by the same name or something.

A Swiftly Tilting Planet
Madeleine LengleJoi @JoiTheArtist.bsky.socialI was trying to figure out why I love books with expansive timelines, intersecting characters and bloodlines, etc. (Cloud Atlas, Sea of Tranquility, How High We Go in the Dark, etc) It's because I read @MadeleineLEngle 's Swiftly Tilting Planet at a formative age.

Carrie
Stephen KingJoi @JoiTheArtist.bsky.socialI'm still in a Stephen King mood. I've read all the Dark Tower, Green Mile, Carrie and Firestarter, Misery, and a handful of others. I like the Dark Tower weirdness the best. What should I read next?
