Miiiiike! I can’t wait to chat tonight - and yes, I’m convinced we’re kindred sprits. I’ve stood down my team of lawyers, just this once.

This summer reading thing is so weird. Reading on the beach is an absolute nightmare. It is the WORST place to read!

Bought Enchantment and Wintering today, as both caught my eye. Can't wait to dig into them after the nightmare-inducing post apocalyptic novel I'm reading is done. (Two books, The Ark and The Anvil by Christopher Coates—not well-written, but interesting)

Well, I wrote a teensy bit about that last week! I call them book seasons. I hadn't realised that people read more in summer but I' going to tuck that piece of information away. For me it is more about winter. Nothing like a rainy afternoon and a book.

I’m looking forward to checking out Katherine’s book, you sold it well - what with your good writing about stuff “she said”.

Thanks :)

I adore both your and Katherine's writing--love that you were both in conversation, just marvellous. ✨

Enchantment is on my list for my local bookstore!

I wholly devoured all three of Katherine May's books and plan to re-read them again soon, starting with Wintering. I too identify with and connect to many of the same things Katherine does.

I'll have to check that book out -- thanks for the rec. Looks like she's got my sub, anyway! :)

Hey, Mike. Will the hang out today be recorded so that those of us that register can watch it later? Am at work during that time and it would be better to watch this evening once I get home.

Thank you for the book recommendation! It looks good. "See" you at the hang out - looking forward to the discussion, too.

Really looking forward to the chat! Hopefully my screaming offspring will be faaaaast asleep by then. Wintering was such a wonderful, wonderful book, wasn't it? Hope you hear you both soon!
