That Embroidery book is gorgeous. I immediately had to see if my library had it. It did not but had two other books by Paine. One is the Afghan Amulet which is a travelogue of her search for the source of a folk embroidery pattern. "This 62-year-old British embroidery expert slips across closed borders, navigates through tribal warfare, sleeps on dirt floors, drinks tea brewed from muddy waters and protects herself against the kidnapping, stoning and rape that lone women risk in some Muslim countries by covering herself in native dress. " Sold!

This deserves a round of applause - a self-painted top, an original canvas behind and a great breadth of books - just wow! the concertina book with poetry one side, portraits on the other is astonishing. I would love to hear you chat with Elisabeth about Monet and his garden. Please sneak a few pics of your Fiber Arts Retreat - that sounds idyllic. "The Beauty of Everyday Things" looks simply delightful.

@@heathergregg9975 Thanks Heather! I will talk more about Anne Michaels’ poetry book in a future video; it really is amazing. Elisabeth has read numerous books by Ross King so I trust her judgment that the Monet book will be good. We don’t always agree on books but this one looks promising-I obviously thought so when I purchased it. A vlog about my retreat experience briefly crossed my mind, but since the place is off grid, that’s not practical and might have interfered with my retreat experience anyway. I will definitely include some photos from the retreat when I get back.

A great TBR Lindy, I'm sure you'll get through it, even with two busy trips away. I do love that you've managed to find 3 Strayan books that I've never hear of! I've found The Asparagus Wars as audio on one of my apps. But naturally my Strayan TBR is even bigger than my Framed! TBR. I'm hoping to combine a couple. Thunderclap is fantastic. I listened to it on audio a few months ago, and was moved to tears several times. I'm vaguely hopeful to reread it for Framed! in September, but have a TBR that's even bigger than yours, and not nearly as much capacity to get reading done. I got a copy of Prairie, Art, Dresses etc yesterday. I'm not sure where I'd heard of it, maybe you'd talked about it, or Shawn? Great use of Laurie's art as backdrop for this video, and you dyed and made your on shirt? You two are capable of anything. Incredible. I've never seen an accordian book format like that. Well, maybe a kids book I think. Intriguing. I'm waiting on a library copy of Michael's Held for the Booker longlist.

@@LouiseReader I’m glad that you mentioned enjoying the audio edition of Thunderclap. I’m waiting on a print edition at the library because I want to see the illustrations but there’s an audiobook available so I decided to do it as a combo. I picked up a copy of The Lover at the same time as I bought Prairie Dresses Art Other, so I’m set for our buddy read next month. We can count it for Shorty September. You might have heard about Dutton’s book from Shawn. I think he mentioned it when it was still forthcoming? If you listen to The Asparagus Wars, perhaps we can talk about that one too.

Hi Lindy, I also have Thunderclap and Biography of X on my tbr, hope to get to them this month. And the Cello book looks good. I had no music titles on my tbr! I've ordered Anita de Monte Laughs Last from the library, was waiting for your September art readathon after hearing an impassioned description of it a while ago on Scott's channel. Right now I have The Story of Art Without Men checked out, was waiting till September to dig into it. Here are more possibilities that I marked from the tbr I've been jotting down all year. Another non-fiction, Art Monsters. A third, about a groovy fashion designer, House of Nutter. One about a gallerist, Chasing Beauty. If I can get a copy, I thought the Uncensored Picture of Dorian Gray would be good. Plays: a Shakespeare tie-in about an acting troupe in a future space dystopia, Station Eleven. One set in the past about putting on plays in dire circumstances: Glorious Exploits. There's one about a wax sculptress, Little -- I think she becomes Madame Toussaud (sp?). One about a photographer, Boy Parts, might be too intense but it's on my tbr. Two about TV or film: Romantic Comedy. The Seventh Veil of Salome. (Don't know if they qualify.) Two with glass blowing: The Glass-Blowers. The Glassmaker. The rest I think have something to do with painting or have a painting in it. The Painter's Daughters. The Marriage Portrait. The House on Via Gemito. Martyr! Parade. Here's a couple of non fiction art books I read and liked: Ninth Street Women. The Secret Lives of Color. (a shortie).
