I just got this book today, I cannot WAIT! No teasers! I usually wait until the paperback, because hardcovers kill my arthritic hands lol. This one was a hard wait!

I probably won't be around Tribe for a day or two because I will be camped in the lazyboy with snacks and a reading lamp. I tend not to read deLint's books as much as fall into them, you know? I need one of them computer chairs with the potty built in that Sylver has, but in an armchair model heh heh, because it's hard to pull your drawers back up with a book in one hand.

Love you all muchly!

    I ALMOST bought it yesterday!! Sat in the bookstore contemplating and contemplating putting out the 16 dollars. In the end I decided on a 15 dollar magazine (ouch!) because it teaches how to make a tool I will really need for needle felting...my new thing...AND my other reason for not buying Widdershins...I will NOT get ANYTHING done if Im readin DeLint!
    Enjoy! And let me know how fantastical it is!

    PS...are we on wavelengths or what...?

          Oh Mermi I'm halfway through it and it is SO GOOOOD! We are SO on the same wavelength, I think I was purchasing it at the very same time you were waffling! BeeeLeee me I waffled too, but in the end I couldn't hep it, I had ta have it lol.

          Hmm needle felting? I've never done that before, and I am a serious fabric/yarny. I want pictures! I can't work with wool, is the problem, I am so allergic. I have to have cotton, silk, rayon, polyester, etc. or artificial yarns which is why Lyra is steering me toward the organic cotton (I've never really been able to afford it though). I mostly crochet but can knit and needlepoint as well. And I'm a quilter from way back. In fact, I learned to sew my own clothes because, well, have you SEEN me?? Not only am I a zoftig woman but NOTHING is EVER long enough, for me or my beautiful Lyra heh heh. My friend Journeysong has the opposite problem and we are currently working out a deal where she gives me all the extra lengths from her pants, skirts, dresses... so I can sew them onto mine to get them longer!

      Yes, yes it is. <<<Basking in the wonder that is Widdershins>>>

      But you HAVE to read the Onion Girl first, at least... Or you may be shocked!

                O Syly you are so right... spirits in the wires too! They both set Widdershins up nicely... ooh I am almost done it is so good so good so good! He is such an incredible wordsmith, does such a good job blending today's world with the magic of the otherworlds. *Sigh* I wish I knew how to step between and go where I wanted in all the otherworld lands, although I HAVE found at least ONE otherworld, but we know it as Faerieworlds!
