On the Library Table - Ex Libris IV

There are more friends old and new on the library table, and here is another lovely winter week to be spent pottering in the forest of books. Of course there is a thermos of tea in the old rambling backpack along with my compass, binoculars, moleskine, fountain pen and digital camera. Think of me happily sitting somewhere up here under a big tree in the sunshine and snow, book in hand. . . .

Tamsin, Peter Beagle
Summerland, Michael Chabon
Tara and the Black Madonna: A Ten Year Journey, China Galland
Moonwise, Greer Gilman
Waking the Moon, Elizabeth Hand
Winter's Tale, Mark Helprin
The Greenstone Grail, Amanda Hemingway
Godstalk (Trilogy), P.C. Hodgell
Stations of the Sun, Ronald Hutton
The Mind in the Cave: Human Consciousness and the Origins of Art, David Lewis-Williams
The Zen of Creativity, John Daido Loori
Widening Circles: A Memoir, Joanna Macy
Bone Mountain, Elliott Pattison
Beautiful Ghosts, Elliot Pattison

I am still working on Laurie R. King's Beekeeper's Apprentice/Mary Russell novels, the works of Joanne Harris and Alice Hoffman and Sharyn McCrumb's Ballad series, and having just located a whole box of Nevada Barr's Anna Pigeon mysteries downstairs, I shall probably be digging into that this week.

Sorry to say that the names of all these authors are unfamiliar to me. I am now reading Yourcenar's Mémoires d'Hadrien which is very good. On my bookself, there is already my next book by Paulo Coelho. By the way, I liked the photo of colorful bags in your last entry. Nice colors.
