Cover for the book Daindreth's Outlaw by Elisabeth Wheatley

Nothing Like Being On the Run to Help You Get to Know One Another

Daindreth's Outlaw by Elisabeth Wheatley

December 17, 2023 by Kit Moonstar Leave a Comment

Book Mail from narfna!

Thank you so much to narfna for my awesome presents.  I’ve been waiting to read Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries, but the hold list for it at my local libraries is ridiculous.  I’m excited to dive into it.  And A Strange and Stubborn Endurance sounds like it’s right up my alley.  Plus one can never have enough bookmarks. Thank you so much again!  It was so fun to find these waiting for me in the mailbox, and I’m sure I’ll enjoy them.
