#WritersCoffeeClub 7/9. Share an image of a favourite book cover design. Not your own.
A favourite book, and when my first copy fell apart, I had to hunt out another of the same edition. It’s not to contemporary prescription for the genre but I’m sure I’m not the only one who yearns for variety and surprise in book covers. This time WITH picture!

One great aspect to Ursula K Leguin's novel A Wizard of Earthsea is the friendship that develops between two young mages, Vetch and Sparrowhawk, continuing on to the very end of the story

Ich habe den Eindruck, die Auswahl der #Bücher, die ich in der letzten Zeit gelesen habe, ist eher unglücklich. Kein Buch fesselt mehr so richtig. Auch meinen aktuelle #Lektüre "Das ferne Ufer" von Ursula K. #LeGuin plätschert nur so vor sich hin und dient mir abends eher als Einschlafhilfe, denn als Schlafbremse. Das führt dazu, dass ich ewig lange an dem Buch lese.
Doch ich ziehe das durch. Irgendwann muss doch mal etwas Spannendes passieren. Oder vielleicht auch erst im nächsten Buch.
Long before someone wrote stories about Hogwarts, Ursula K. Leguin spun out stories about a wizardry school on the Isle of Roke. Here's a Sadler's Lectures podcast episode on that!

One particularly dramatic scene in Ursula K Leguin's A Wizard of Earthsea takes place when Ged sails to Pendor to deal with the threat posed by a host of dragons. Here's a Sadler's Lectures podcast episode on it

Here's the next Sadler's Lectures podcast episode on Ursula K Leguin's novel A Wizard of Earthsea. It focuses on an age-old theme: power doesn't always dispel threats but puts one in the path of new dangers

Reading Left Hand Of Darkness and then Ada Palmer's Terra Ignota books directly after each other was such a treat. So good at embedding their stories within the worlds they have created. Very satisfying, like a freshly baked loaf of bread. Delicious.
Here's the next Sadler's Lectures podcast episode on Ursula K. Leguin's novel A Wizard of Earthsea, this one on how magical power works in that narrative universe

Each month, I do a live reading of one my all-time favorite short stories, with Q&A and discussion afterwards. This time it was Ursula K. Leguin's "The Rule of Names".

@cbecker #LeGuin is a treasure. I hope to go back and re-read The Lathe of Heaven. The Left Hand of Darkness is also great. I mean, she translated the #TaoTeChing.
I just finished Ursula LeGuin’s Lathe of Heaven - it’s just fantastic. And her writing … “the endless warm drizzle of spring - the ice of Antarctica, falling softly on the heads of the children of those responsible for melting it” ❤️ 1972. We have known for a long time what we’re doing. #amreading #bookstodon #LeGuin

Ich habe heute morgen den 4. Band des Erdsee Zyklus fertig gelesen. Und ich habe selten so tiefe Freude gehabt, wie bei dem Gedanken, dass ich mir weitere Bücher kaufen kann und ich noch länger in #Erdsee werde bleiben dürfen. :blobcatbook: :coolwitch:

Und: Eine deutsche Erstübersetzung des Schlüsselwerks „Always Coming Home“ von #LeGuin!
Genau genommen ist #Carcosa ist ein Imprint des #Memoranda-Verlags von Hardy Kettlitz.
Das tiefe lesende Verlangen überall #LeGuin Zitate an die Wände zu schreiben.

Extremely excited that Spouseperson @rblemberg is a Le Guin prize finalist!!
Doubly so that it is the Birdverse short story collection from Fairwood, I feel like this book has gone a bit underappreciated with RB's other books being out this year, BUT IT IS SO GOOD and I am so happy.
