Thank you for the pre-orders so far! It really means a lot 💜

Here is a recent(-ish!) order for some BYOBS 1.0 pins (which are on sale!)

Abhorsen's House (The Old Kingdom) and Excelsior Con (Geekerella) are both low stock! Camp Half Blood (Percy Jackson) and Seven Dials (The Bone Season) still have a good amount of stock available ☺️

It's always exciting when I can stack pins and fill a whole backing card <3

“Five Great Charters knit the landTogether linked, hand in handOne in the people who wear the crownTwo in the folk who keep the Dead downThree and Five became stone and mortarFour sees all in frozen water.”Garth Nix, Sabriel (Abhorsen, #1)

We are finishing up the French General block of the month quilt! All it needs is outside border.  It looks great with one of my favorite books series, Sabriel by Garth Nix. Garth Nix is one of my auto buy authors, for his unique world building and wonderfully compassionate characters. I cannot recommend Sabriel enough, for representing strong female characters! 

We make custom quilts, and would love to make one for you! Check out our quilts in our Etsy shop at VictoriaGDesigns, or www.victoriagleasuredesigns

The Sinister Booksellers of Bath by Garth Nix (Left-Handed Booksellers of London #2)

When Merlin vanishes, Susan will battle animated statues of heraldic beasts and use magical maps to rescue him on a hunt that leads to a serial killer who must be stopped before she kills again.

There is often trouble of a mythical sort in Bath. The booksellers who police the Old World keep a careful watch there, particularly on the entity who inhabits the ancient hot spring. Yet this time it is not from Sulis Minerva that trouble starts. It comes from the discovery of a sorcerous map, leading left-handed bookseller Merlin into great danger. A desperate rescue is attempted by his sister the right-handed bookseller Vivien and their friend, art student Susan Arkshaw, who is still struggling to deal with her own recently discovered magical heritage. The map takes the trio to a place separated from this world, maintained by deadly sorcery performed by an ancient sovereign and guarded by monstrous living statues of Portland Stone. But this is only the beginning, as the booksellers investigate centuries of disappearances and deaths and try to unravel the secrets of the murderous Lady of Stone, a serial killer of awesome powers. If they do not stop her, she will soon kill again. And this time, her target is not an ordinary mortal.

My Review: When I read the last page in The Left Handed Bookseller of London I hope there was going to be more books featuring these characters and to be able to travel to this alternate 80s UK soon. It took more than two years but I did a happy dance when I was approved for the arc of The Sinister Booksellers of Bath and was able to catch up with Susan, Merlin and intriguing world of the bookseller and the Ancient spirits. This book is even better than the first: we get to know more about the booksellers and meet a very dangerous Ancient with some serial killer tendencies. There’s a lot of character development: Susan is facing her growing powers and discovering more about the books sellers, Merlin is a strong characters that I like. I loved this plot that kept me turning pages and I hope there will other books in this series as there’s still a lot to learn and I’m not ready to say goodbye to these characters. Highly recommended. Many thanks to the publisher for this arc, all opinions are mine

The Author: Garth Nix was born in 1963 in Melbourne, Australia, to the sound of the Salvation Army band outside playing 'Hail the Conquering Hero Comes' or possibly 'Roll Out the Barrel'. Garth left Melbourne at an early age for Canberra (the federal capital) and stayed there till he was nineteen, when he left to drive around the UK in a beat-up Austin with a boot full of books and a Silver-Reed typewriter.

Despite a wheel literally falling off the Austin, Garth survived to return to Australia and study at the University of Canberra. After finishing his degree in 1986 he worked in a bookshop, then as a book publicist, a publisher's sales representative, and editor. Along the way he was also a part-time soldier in the Australian Army Reserve, serving in an Assault Pioneer platoon for four years. Garth left publishing to work as a public relations and marketing consultant from 1994-1997, till he became a full-time writer in 1998. He did that for a year before joining Curtis Brown Australia as a part-time literary agent in 1999. In January 2002 Garth went back to dedicated writer again, despite his belief that full-time writing explains the strange behaviour of many authors.

He now lives in Sydney with his wife, two sons and lots of books.

‘I bet you have MAKEUP in here, it’s so heavy,’ said the kind man who helped me with my bags. Me, with my holiday reads and cherished rereads: guilty laughter. (I also had makeup in there.)
