I love books with an international setting, a real-life or fictional artist, revolution, heartbreak, absurdist humor and unbelievable-but-true events.
Aside from reading I enjoy experimenting with natural dyes, knitting, learning to weave and helping my son execute his Star Wars cosplay visions.
Some recent favorites include: The Bee Sting by Paul Murray, Farm & Folk Quilt Alchemy by Sara Larson Buscaglia, The Bandit Queens by Parini Shroff & Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar.
